Clear at the top. :cloud9:
Weirdly we didn't play that well for the majority of the game but when we did, it was ridiculous.

8 points clear of united already :haha:
are we still going in the wrong direction Robin?
just how did they do that? those flicks, the precision of them. knowing where each other would be. just wow. thats goal of the season.
Sadly it's likely to be usurped by some hit and hope from 40 yards but I concur, goal of the season probably. Team goals are awlsome.
Still remember that Argentina goal, this is just as good if not better :bow:
Goal of the season for sure.
That Aaron goal was special, too.
Oh, and Moyes. :haha:

Are Flamster and Cazorla OK?
No idea about Flamini, concussions can take a while to recover from. Cazorla just went off because it was his first game back I imagine.
The period where Norwich were outplaying us doesn't matter. We stepped it up when required and the super quality of our players shone through.
Giroud was brilliant all game. Even if he has a drought, you know he'll be effective for the team in other ways. Two perfect assists. The new Ozil?
Wilshere had his best game of the season. Apart from some sloppy passing, he was lively, sharp, on the move and was a constant attacking threat. The return of Sir Jack.
Ozil drifted in and out as usual. But wonderful when he came alive. Wenger has already turned him into a prolific goalscorer. The new Pires?
Ramsey. Wow. His form is incredible. His touch outside the box before his goal was good enough, but then he took it a step further. He brought out excellent saves from Ruddy, drove the team forward with real force and added a lovely assist for good measure. He's also quick, fast and he's got pace. And he's strong, powerful, he's got strength.
Koscielny, Gibbs and Szczesny were superb too.
Cazorla was mostly good. Probably needs another game to get fully into his groove. He did assist the assister twice :bow:.
Arteta was the only negative. He looked out of sorts with his passing.
Special mention for Dennis Bendtner too, who linked well and looked like he was a really useful part of the team despite being a hermit for the past year.
In conclusion:
Our goals :bow:.
Ramsey :bow: :bow: :bow:.
Giroud :bow:.
Ozil :bow:.
Sir Jack :bow:.
Dennis Bentdner :bow:.
Wengerball :bow:.
Cheers, good. I knew Matty went off early but if it's concussion should be good for Tuesday.
It's hard to put to words the joy I'm feeling right now. A decade of suffering and we are finally turning the corner. Our performance today was a new breed of football. This play is reminiscent to how we use to be 10 years ago. We were exciting, creative and ruthless. I'm starting to believe THE Arsenal are back, and I'm just astounded by the quality on display.
The first goal was the best goal we've scored for a long time. Slow motion replays and the usual televised view don't do it justice. I initially thought it bobbled through to Giroud, who played that superb ball. But actually it was an incredible back heel touch in by Jack. The first touch and speed for that goal was just about as good as anything we've seen since 2005. Top quality goal.
@Arsenal: Wenger: 'The first goal was one of the best [I've seen]. It was a mixture of technical quality and speedy thinking' #AFCvNCFC
Ramsey was my MOTM. Completely dominated in the last half hour as we've come to expect. Even without his goal, he was peppering the Norwich goal with some great strikes and Norwich (who I thought played reasonably well and usually do trouble the big teams) had no answer to him charging forward at will.
I just hope Wenger keep Özil, Ramsey and Flamini midfield against Dortmund. Afraid Arteta is not yet fully fit (plus he is not mobile enough) to play against quick passing team. :coffee:Quote:

Great win, didn't see the game but can't wait to see the highlights! Couple of our rivals dropping points is great too.
This season puts to bed the theory that you don't need to spend money to be challenging for stuff!
WTF!! :lol:Quote:

I thought it was little bit bobble at first too.
Turned out to be another flash of Giroud Genius.
I honestly believe we're beginning to see the makings of another special team created by Arsene. Call it kneejerk if you like but....with the likes of Ozil and Cazorla pulling the strings and the development of Ramsey & Jack we're finally beginning to see a beautifully formed team. Arsene has actually bought very wisely over the past few years, those guys supplemented by the likes of Per, Flams & Giroud makes for very nice viewing.
It's still early days and this team is still very much in the "Development" phase, but right now we are playing at a very high level. I've not seen football like this from an Arsenal team for a good few years.
There is still work to be done, we need to address the lack of depth and quality upfront, Giroud aside. But all in all, it's a great start and today was another great result.
Big test next week against Dortmund, it's going to be a great game IMHO.
Amazing game, didnt look that good at times, but still manages to score 4 nice goals... stuff of champions :)
Everything :bow:
i disagree with how we didnt look good at times. Bar the five minute spell before HT norwich barely threatened, and even when they did, most of them where long shots which Szcesney dealt with comfortably. This Arsenal team seem to know how to control a game without the ball, norwich, stoke, swansea, sunderland have all had large amounts of time with the ball yet havnt really threatened.Quote:
