Flamini. :bow:
Flamini :bow: :bow:.
Internal solutions :bow:.
Power shifts :bow:.
We should shoot more. Apart from Ramsey we are not so bad at it. Pls Giroud. Arteta retire.
Winning.
Scoring 3 goals.
Beats those scumbags.
On to the next game.
Good win.
Spurs. :haha:
Only we could beat a shit Spurs team and make it look like a fluke, lol.
Fair play to Flamini though, played for the shirt tonight. I've missed that heart in the team.
Just what was needed. Beating the Sp*ds at their place. Niice. Flamini adding some guts to our side.
Also - I am often critical of Wenger, but I want to say that when I heard his starting line up for this match I could not have been more in agreement with it. Shame Debuchy; Arteta and even Chambers did themselves no favours with their performances, though.
Spuffs :pal:
We don't need a striker :haha:
Flamini to be fined for pass to shot rate
Flamini! What a guy!
Overall, awful performance. Giroud was terrible. Ramsey was terrible. Ox had moments but no end product. Campbell started brightly but faded quickly. Full backs were awful. Chambers was doing good until that own goal. Not many great performances to talk about.
Mattwo the little genius.
Stick him in on Saturday. Drop Arteta, stick Rambo in there, drop Giroud, sack Wenger, title is ours.
Dreadful performance but it was enough to beat a spuds team that proves the gap is wider than ever and the shadow longer.
Chambers and Gibbs were fine.
Debuchy, Giroud, Ramsey and Ox were shit though. Ox is just annoyingly braindead.
good win at a tough place.
flamini scored two good goals, loved the run for the first one. the second one was top drawer.
carlisle at home next please, providing they hang on against liverpool.
A common theme with the Southampton youth academyQuote:

Flamini :bow:
Debuchy and Chambers were absolutely awful. I hope they both get a bollocking for that performance.
chambers had a solid game. Shouldn't be slaughtered for one mistake. Looks far better at CB. Debuchy on the other hand...

Podolski on social media :bow:
shef wednesday away.
It wasn't even the own goal, which I thought was a bit unlucky. It was his positioning in general, it was awful. A decent team would have punished us.Quote:

No doubt evidence of Flamini punching a spurs player :redcard:Quote:

Ended up being far easier than expected. Haven't had an easier game there for over 10 years. They're in serious trouble.

I haven't seen the match so others than the goals, I know little about Flamini's performance.
Has he made a case for starting the next match?
The team performance was very poor and we were up against an even poorer opponent. Not much can be taken from the game. As an individual Flamini played like a throwback to the (still recent) days when players had bollocks and put their back into the game. He got the basics right, tackling, hustle, trap a ball, watch the ball, get your position right, strike the ball, hit the target. What we could benefit from is the rest of the team taking note and following his lead. But I don't think there's a place for Flamini in the tippy tappy circus.Quote:

Incredible moment for him last night though, so fair play.
A great moment for Flamini. Let's hope he has something to prove to the manager this season because he was the only one that came out of that game looking like he could land a first team place.
Ox looked like he tried but needs to find his end product.
Everyone else has a lot of work to do. Giroud shouldn't be anywhere near the first team with that performance. Didn't win the ball in the air, never held it up or brought anyone into play, can't create chances for himself and fluffs his line when given a chance on goal.
Ramsey hasn't made a case for himself starting in the centre. Poor performance. No influence in the middle and must do a lot better if he wants to take his place back.
Gibbs and Debuchy won't win their spots back. Debuchy looks finished. Campbell had a bright start and just faded badly. These guys can thank a Flamini for getting them through to the next round. Might have been a long time before any of these guys get a start if we had gone out.
Giroud was winning the ball in the air tbf (at least until he stopped jumping), but he wasn't retaining possession. He'd get up just ahead of the defender but direction was always random. He never won anything convincingly, he did nothing to hold the ball and allow others to get up the field. Embarrassingly for him, when Alexis came on (all 3 foot 2 of him) he got up and won at least one header, directing the ball to a teammate. There's no real excuse for Giroud, either his confidence has collapsed and he can't handle it or he can't be bothered. I'd say it's the latter because a lack of confidence doesn't stop you running at least. He's been given another year and he won't have a problem finding a club if we decide to move him on, I doubt he's that worried by a horribly inconsistent Theo either. No incentive. This is why we had to bring the competition in during the summer. But that was impossible because there's nobody available out there who is better than Giroud. Right.
Bit harsh on Debuchy. He can't be finished if he's only just started. Don't forget, he's coming back from what must have been an utterly depressing start to his Arsenal career, he's playing in a shambolic Wenger system, he needs time to find his game again. He probably won't get that time though. Bit of a shame because I think he's a decent enough player.
Gibbs though. He saved us on the line, he showed a few moments going forward, but his general defensive display doesn't look like it has progressed in years. If anything he's going backwards. Of course the same shambolic Wenger system won't help him but would have expected more from him by this stage. Of course the same can be said for so many youngsters at the club.
10 fans arrested but Arsenal/ Spuffs won't be punished
Always happy to get a win over the spuds, but as said a poor performance against a very average team.
Giroud was pathetic last night, like a sulky teenager moping about the pitch.
Arteta and Flamini did ok, but against better players they will be found out.
I was really confident in the summer that our current squad was good, even without the signings I think everyone wanted. How quickly things change!
Hopefully the club itself will take steps. My lad has been to a couple of games recently and I'd rather not have to worry about advertising hoardings falling on his head. I'd never have taken him on the terraces at the old grounds, not until he was older anyway. But if we're going to have a squeaky environment that offers fun and thrills for all the family, etc, etc, then the club needs to act to ensure that's what we are getting.Quote:

...and the man whose mouth is always open was denied by a brilliant clearance off the line from Kieran Gibbs – who ought to be knighted for services to the world so we don’t have to endure endless replays of Kane’s scissor kick goal making him the best player ever again. As it is, Mathieu Flamini has scored more goals at White Hart Lane than him so far this season.
