Shocking first half.
Brilliant 2nd.
Ramsey stood up to be counted finally. Theo brilliant.
Bring on the group stages
Fenerbahce were shocking to be fair. They may have a case for appeal... Unless that match was fixed too....
Good comfortable win, Ramsey and Cazorla were great.
Last 16 here we come!
Arsenal. :bow:
They all stepped it up 2nd half to be fair.
Ramsey was superb, but my motm Tomas Rosicky. What a player :bow:
Good performance, especially from Ramsey, Walcott and Cazorla.
Ramsey and Theo GHELing up the interviews.
Defence were sound.
Ramsey and Cazorla were great. Lots of bluster from Wilshere but his party trick of trying to turn and run away from danger leaves a lot to be desired.
Theo good but Giroud was marked out of the game.
Good win and welcome relief, now sign some fucking players please.
Wenger :bow:
No new signings needed
:patrice:
awesome victory. especially at a time when everyone affiliated with the Club was taking much flak.
group stages bound i reckon.
Rambo. :bow:
Santi. :bow:
Theo. :bow:
Arsenal :bow:
Well done fellas
:scarf:
This'll probably be the highlight of our season so enjoy it
Not the result I expected, but I'll take it. Now buy some fucking players. Another key player out for at least 3 weeks.
I think Chesney was fantastic. When it mattered he was strong.Quote:

Great second half.

Giroud really is useless, having a world-class striker would do so much for our side. He just lumbers around.

He was great today.
Walcott was great, and Rosicky and Ramsey played well too. Giroud layed the ball off well but he's just not the clinical finisher we need. Good performance overall.
Suarez can finally come home now.....
Or not
Which celebrity is going to die?
Ramsey from the last 6 months looks a completely different player to what he was. Seems to be fulfilling the potential that he showed pre-injury. Very smart little player with bags of energy.
Recovered very well from when Wenger tried to bury him by sticking him on the right.Quote:

On the plus side, Ramsey and Cazorla played really well. Rosicky was good in the second half and Wilshere got 90 minutes and seemed to be settling down towards the end of the game. Defence wasn't really tested until late and it was encouraging to see Sagna pulling players around trying to get them organised. Less encouraging that whatever was said seemed to bounce off Mertesacker's head without going in. He was out of his depth again, this time against a nothing team. Hopefully Kos' isn't too badly bashed up. That was a deliberate kick on him, watch the replay and you'll see the player's foot is a yard from the ball. Chesney was strong today, the pressure seems to have brought the best out of him.
On the minus side. Walcott was pitifully bad as usual. For sure he can run fast, there's little doubt about that. But you'll get maybe one completed cross out of him in 90 minutes, maybe 10% of his passes retain possession. A little credit to him, after hogging and wasting everything he eventually decided to try passing to a team mate in a better position and it paid off. Will he learn? If we could get a decent player with the same pace into that position it would transform the team. Same with Giroud, he's awful and even when one of our misfits manages to get a cross in he'll be 10 yards off the play. When these two went off the passing game just clicked into life, a shame there was only 10 minutes left.
First half was dreadful to watch, things picked up in the second half and 0-3 was a fair result in the end. But this team will struggle badly against better opponents. It's good to be almost through to the competition proper but you wonder what the point will be if the squad is not strengthened significantly. At the very least a striker who isn't so easy to mark out of a game is the minimum requirement.
Hopefully Wenger doesn't use this result to try and vindicate his actions this summer but you can see him giving it a try. Merson and Nicholas were going on about it being a good performance but they'll be just as quick to say the opposite when this team goes up against a better opponents and Wenger's tactics are once again found wanting. So yes, a win, but a total overhaul still required if we are to get anything from the competition.

Genuine question here, have you ever been right about Theo? Ever?
Doubt it
Rambo was good.....seems to play better in CL? time to put in same calibre in PL
Ok so we won 0-3, credit were credit's due. This was the worst result that could have ever happened as this deluded idiot will now believe he has the best squad in the premiership and will challenge all questions for the press boys with his tail wagging and saying those immortal words, I told you so! Damn.
:lol:
No, the fans won't be fooled this time. It used to be we never had to go through the qualifying round because we finished first or second. Then it used to be the qualifying rounds were a formality. Now we're are getting to the stage where we have to think about it. The trend is down and Wenger kicking off with nothing in reserve has tipped many over the edge. This win gets us through to the CL which remain important, not because those bastards can bank more money, but because nobody would want to come here if we'd been knocked out. It could be a few transfer targets have been waiting on this result before making a decision. I hope so anyway.Quote:

Bit of a shame that people still resort to cheap shots and point scoring after a great away win.
It's guaranteed. You realise Theo's assists are entirely random and this is all that stands between him and the outright condemnation he'd get if his name was (say) Gervinho?Quote:

I hope that was lost in translation.Quote:
