That was really frustrating in the end. We played possibly the best football of the season and the scoreline doesn't reflect how good we were. Mason handed them a goal and denied us two pelanties, but we still overcame him and the Hull hillbillies to create and waste so many chances. Should have scored six at the very least.
Finishing aside, Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey and Cazorla were sublime at times. Coquelin continued his outstanding form. The defence had little to do apart from deny Mason in behind.
Arsenal :bow:. For the performance and the football.
Arsenal :doh:. For not scoring a shitload.
Wasn't boring and negative enough for me. We didn't dive enough. Our manager didn't even attack a cancer patient.
What sort of shit is this?
Well done everyone. Played superbly.
Bellerin's accent changes more than Littlefinger's.
great football, great result.
the manc game is now not a must win but a must not lose.
A) Praise Arsenal player
B) Analyse the performances
C) Ultimately criticise the player
D) Arsenal can't win the title for this player being there.
Costa Matic and Terry in our team :sick:
Special mention to Montreal, i think he has been one of best players since January.
i used to think he was a turd, but im happy he has proved me and a lot of us wrong.
Why doesn't Ramsey take up this position? What, where he fucking went?
Jesus wept.
Beautiful 3rd goal. This is football.
It's just excessive force, that's not a foul.
That is a foul you numbskull.
I'd like to see more of Cazorla's pass that Alexis didn't score from.
He got the ball. The law clearly states if you get the ball it's fine to shoot somebody in the face.Quote:

Great performance with some speedy attacking, led as always by the irrepressible Alexis. If we had our shooting boots on in the 2nd half would have been a pasting.
You have to hand it to Mason though, he is consistently incompetant at his job. #stealingaliving
Also, the anyonebutwalcott tactic that Wenget is employing for right mid is quite amusing. :clap:
Should be said, Arsene got it right today.
I stand by my earlier statement on Neville.
From BBC
No player has assisted as many Premier League goals as Santi Cazorla (28) since he made his PL debut in August 2012.
Yeah, happy to be proven wrong as well. Most improved player in the squad. Gibbs has a lot of work to do.Quote:

Where have you all gone you wankers? It's almost as if you have real lives.
But that can't be true because you are members of GW.
Great win. Dont know how we didnt get that pelanty.. that was just horrible from the ref. Wilshere looked great tonight but I am sure he will break his ankle again.. soon!
Walcott looks to be on his way out of the club. I dont understand why he is not starting games like these.. We either give him serious opportunities to play or we bring Raheem home! :lol:
You seem to be forgetting that Sterling is over-hyped shit, as he has demonstrated in this, the first season the spotlight was on him. He's a money player, not a football playerQuote:

What they don't realise is that language is intent, not vocabulary. Vocabulary is just the vehicle for the intent.
So basically, tough luck Daily Male - you biased cunts. May you live in interesting times - soon.
Yeah cos we're all celebrating 100 goals. Wankers.Quote:

I thought we were excellent really but then there is no real pressure on us now.
Phil Neville reckons we are just a world class keeper away from challenging for the title. Although I don't think Ospina has done anything wrong but because we have been on a great run when he has played, he really hasn't had to make many saves to really keep us in games.
Wenger downplaying a title challenge for next year.
There's no pressure in terms of top 4 but it would be nice to finish 2nd.
We do look well placed to seriously challenge next year, the only question is can we sustain this sort of form for a whole season, or most of one.
It was liquid football at times last night. The first goal was lucky, the 2nd was a bit too but it was a lovely ball for it. 3rd goal was fantastic.
Didn't see all of the 2nd half, it looked a bit tippy tappy from what I saw but I guess it was job done by then.
the worst thing from last night was that a top flight professional (i use that word lightly) thought that this was a foul, not a blatant dive

But for injuries I believe we could have been alot closer to Chelski maybe on a par with them. But when we do play the they deploy a 1-10-0-0 formation.
Last season we finished strongly and most of us thought we were set for a proper title challeneg but we were basically out of it by October. Next season we simply have to maitain this progress and hit the ground running.
For us to win the league I do believe we have to beat Chelsea at least once next season as I cant see how we would finish above them otherwise. This season we won 48 out of 54 points against the bottom half of the table which is very impressive.Quote:

Yep, the bad start to the season boils down to bad preparation. It was a World Cup year and we knew the squad was light in key areas and we did nothing about it even though we knew the players would be suffering from fatigue. The matters made worse by the short preseason we had. Out of all of our rivals, we played the least amount of preseason games so we go into the season rusty and not knowing whose ready for the first team and whose not. You never know, maybe Coquelin would have been given a chance earlier if we had more prep time.Quote:

I suspect Utd will come back stronger next year since LVG has a year under his belt but we stand a good chance if we prepare properly.
Good game but I thought we were defensively sloppy at times and a better team could have taken advantage of it.
Some of the football we played was just amazing though but we've got to be more ruthless up front. A Barca or Bayern would have won that 6 or 7 - 0 tonight whereas we fluffed some great chances at the end or tried to over work it when at goal.
Still, it's not an easy place to go to as Liverpool's result there last week and Chelsea's dodgy as fuck win there will attest to.
Ospina doesn't cost you points ala that clown Chesney but I'm not sure if he wins you any points either.Quote:

Getting Cech or Lloris if they're available is a no brainer. It's such an important position.
Surely there is no chance of Lloris because of who he plays for.
I can't see Chelsea selling Cech to us either.
I'm quite happy with Ospina in all honesty. Let him have a full season next year and we'll see what he's truly made of.
Cech would be a pretty awesome signing but not one I really think we should be prioritising and holding out for.
Was listening to Arseblog Arsecast, and comparison was being made between Ramsey on the right and Ljungberg. I actually think that's a reasonable comparison, both overrated, neither great at tracking back, both largely ineffective when they are not scoring goals.
Although Ljungberg had more pace and was less prone to giving the ball away under no pressure.
