WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE, SAY WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE.
out stoking stoke. lovely stuff.
Mourinhoesque performance from us. Don't think we were amazing but we had the quality to get the three points which is all that matters.
Will write more later.
WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!
Ramsey shhing the orcs was my favourite moment of the game.
Good stuff.
Not amazing, but there are some tired legs out there at the moment. We need players back to give some legs a rest.
What is good, is that we are finding ways to score when other things don't work. The dead ball quality of özil helped there.
:scarf:
Choo Choo Motherfuckers.
Top Of the League :bow:
Ozil - 3 assists :bow:
Ramsey :bow:
Stoke Shitty :pal:
Not the most free flowing or exciting game we'll ever see but a pretty effective performance none the less. Pubbing in 3 goals from set pieces, fucking love it. Don't think any of the attacking players stood out but the defence were pretty sound.
Top of the league, 4 league wins from 5, 7 wins on the spin and our best start in 5 years. Lovely stuff.
its taken Ozil two games to get to the top of the assists chart in the league.
but we dont need ozil according to some
Not the best performance but we got the result. It's not easy to do that after a testing midweek CL match but we got the job done.
Ozil :bow:
No one saw it coming after the Villa game. It's been a great reaction.Quote:

Totally scuffed a win with set pieces. Great stuff. :bow:
Good win, we stoked the Uruk-hais good and proper. Gnabry looks good, very composed on the ball (could be a bit more adventurous with his runs, he got a lot of pace).
Very good team performance, the team show a lot of togetherness and work really hard for each other. Overall we got what we deserved. :coffee:
Stoke trying to play football. :console:
I'll give it a few more games before Hughes realises there's no point and brings out the Pulis blueprint.
Yep, first tiem I saw Gnabry and he impressed, very good with the ball and is only going to improve.
Pretty poor performance but we seemed to have learnt the lessons somewhat from the villa game early on in the season, seems like we are playing like the away team at home and the home team away from home.
Szczesny 6/10 - Did nothing wrong came out and claimed when he had to and made two solid saves, could do nothing about the Stoke goal.
Gibbs 5/10 - Was caught in possession far too often putting unnecessary pressure on us.
Koscielny 6/10 - Relatively quiet but backed up Mertesacker when it was required.
Mertesacker 7/10 - Looked solid from set pieces defensively and looked dangerous from set pieces offensively....perhaps could have dealt with Arnautovic better for the first goal.
Sagna 6/10 - didn't provide too much impetus going forward, took his goal well though and defended well with the exception of a free kick conceded in the first half
Flamini 7/10 - gives the back four protection in a way that Ramsey and Arteta do not.
Ramsey 6/10 - took his goal well and generally his passing found it's intended target, guilty of getting caught in possession through dithering once or twice and putting other players under pressure with heavy passes
Ozil 7/10 - Difficult always to establish himself in a scrappy game but his set piece delivery was excellent as was the range of his passing.
Gnabry 6/10 - Grew into the game after looking a bit physically weak at the start on the wing, but began to impose himself on the game although he began drifting inside too much leaving us without much natural width.
Wilshere 5/10 - Too much of his passing didn't come off, a lot of heavy touches and seemed to be frustrated by the amount of physical attention he received from Steven Nzonzi.
Giroud 6/10 - Couldn't carve out any real openings for himself in front of goal, but held up the ball very well and provided opportunities for his team mates.
Fair scores/analysis, except I'd give Ozil an 8 and Ramsey a 7.
the final line in the telegraphs match report. makes lovely reading that.Quote:
The club that lacked the 'ambition' and 'firepower' to challenge for the title now leads the Premier League on the strength of their £40 million midfielder. Work that one out.
Ozil :bow:
:lol:Quote:

Also made some good runs - one in particular that Giroud could've easily played him through on goal in the second half but messed up the header. Flamini was ok but they were allowed too much space in the centre. We definitely missed Theo but Gnabry had a good half until he was subbed. Hope he's ok to return next week.Quote:
Orbinho @Orbinho
Aaron Ramsey made the most tackles in today's game (6) and the joint-most this season (26) along with Lucas.
Wasn't a good performance. Everyone was quite sloppy again. Some players definitely need a game off to recover. Quite clear to see our midfield apart from Ramsey are not fit enough atm to handle 2 games a week for 6-7 weeks in a row.
Arsenal :bow:.
Missed the first half, but we seemed to be letting Stoke have the ball knowing they couldn't really harm us with football, as we did against Marseille. Seems to be working too.
Pubbing in three against Stoke is quite satisfying.
BFG, Gibbs, Giroud (winning free-kicks and setting others up) appeared to be playing well and Szczesny looked really solid again.
Ramsey :bow:.
Ozil :bow:.
Good to see Gnabry and Ryo getting some playing time and Arteta back.

He's booed every time he takes the pitch against them so why shouldn't give a little back?
Cry me a river.
It's starting to come together nicely
Ozil the assist king
Ramsey the Lampard
Flamini excellent again. Well deserved MOTM.
Mertesacker is the key in defence.
Giroud an absolute beast up top
Only worry is Jack but we're winning so fuck it
TOP OF THE LEAGUE !!!!!!
50/50 tackle tbh.
Ramsey should apologise for getting snapped.
Mertesacker brought out the awful mid-pitch kneeslide celebration again. :bow:
Great plan on corners to float it in for him given Ozil is actually good at it.
BFG our best captain ever?
WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE SAY WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE

Personally, I hope he scores a hattrick.
they fail to realise that the man who massively inflamed the sitauation was that baseball cap wearing cunt with his whole "ryans crying, he had to be picked up by his mum" bollocks

He will be getting it both barrels from me when we play em at our place.
The little prick deserves all the abuse he will get,fuck him.
The 'shhh' celebration is a bit gay though. But tbh as far as I can see it could just as well be directed to the Arsenal fans or media or twitter mavericks like Piers Morgan as the Stoke fans.
Won the game got the points that's what matters, wasn't vintage Arsenal and we'll need to improve for the big games but we're top of the league at the moment so got to be happy with that.
it was clearly directed at the stoke fans given he ran past them.
Sloppy performance, particularly in the 2nd, but heh, we got the points, and keep it rolling.
That N'zonzi is a good player, was impressed
It was signalling the next celeb's last breath.
stoke fan on twitter, using a photo of ramseys leg AFTER the tackle as conclusive proof that shawcross didnt break it.
stoke fans are a special breed of stupid arent they?
