Clear space between top 2 and the rest!
I am quite happy with that.
David Silva. :lol:
Özil. :bow:
Theo. :bow:
Giroud. :bow:
Monreal. :bow:
Ramsey. :wacko:
All went to shit with him off the pitch, nearly.
Yaya with a fluke of a shot which will save him from being dropped for the next big game, the next one where Yaya vacates midfield and Citeh lose the game early on.
Wenger. :bow:
It's on!
Love that.
Big, big win.
It's our year.
Great performance. Convincing.
What a win :bow:
Giroud :bow: :bow:
Ozil :bow:
Feo :bow:
Defence :bow:
Montreal :bow:
Wenget :bow:
Cech, next game son :cheers:
Huge result, we're in a great position going into Xmas, need to keep it up.
Brilliant stuff.
Arsenal title favourites?
Fuck off!
:lol:
Ding dong merrily on high!
:woohoo:
Well, no-one else is!Quote:

There was no excuse today, we had to win. We did, brilliant win and a big 3 points. Now we really are in the title hunt, beat City, beat Utd, beat Leicester .......it's on COYG!!!!
What a result! Well done lads.
Should have scored more but given the calibre of opponent you can't expect plain sailing for the entire 90 minutes. A little bit careless towards the end, you could just see they were over-thinking it at the back when it came to clearing their lines, we invited that pressure on ourselves and the subs really didn't work out.
We're bang in this title race and hopefully we're top after this Christmas period. All about momentum and consistency now.
All in all, a pretty fucking good nights work.
YES! Massive result.
Özil got MotM finally!!!
:faint:
One defeat against the top ten clubs so far this season, exactly what we need.
Carragher writing us off for next season already. Impressive.
Wenger out!Quote:

Great win!! Cant wait to watch this team live in a few days!! :dancingman:
Ozil the match winner. Class act of this league.
Achieved without Alexis, Cazorla and Coquelin so it's very encouraging. Tough game against a major rival won - now we need to turn up and win the next one, pointless if we blow that. We need to generate momentum from this and keep on piling the pressure on utd and the gypos who have now slipped behind us.
Great energy from Campbell, though he could do some work on his composure in front of goal.
Great discipline from Flamini - Ramsey not so much and he should have put the game away much earlier.
Bellerin was up and down the pitch like a lunatic and Monreal was very solid. Kos was in full Power Rangers mode and I dodn't really notice Merts much and that usually means he's played well.
Great strike from Theo. Great awareness from Ozil to duck under it.
Wenger's subs were, of course, ludicrous. But we got the 3 points despite him.
:lol:Quote:

For 80 minutes that was a great performance and the only disappointing thing was that we weren't 5-0 up. Citeh possession was mostly sterile and it was the most composed we've been against a 'big' team in recent years. 3 points is great, but we should look to really hammer a rival when given the opportunity because it would do so much going forwards, not to mention the goal difference.
Giroud, Campbell, Walcott, Ozil, Monreal and Bellerin were excellent. Ramsey brings so much to the team, but also has some really sloppy moments. Flamini did as hoped and stayed disciplined.
Hopefully Alexis' return will give us a further boost over the festive period. Can't let this momentum go to shit now.

Every chance we can win the league.

Long may it continue.
I'd have taken 2 points off the top and in the last 16 of the CL at Christmas.
:tree:
A win on the 26th and we'll have momentum going into the new year. Dropped points and it's the same old scene. Saturday around 10pm, that's when we'll know.Quote:

We'll know next May. There will be bumps in the road, every season is like that. But right now we're looking like contenders, while that lasts I'll be content with how things are going.Quote:

Ozil is a changed man. He's on everything. Campbell was good too. Should have scored and had an assist.
Monreal is the man!
Lol'd :haha:Quote:

drop some points here and there ...well that will happen, but one thing is for sure ...we can beat the top teams when we play them and directly stop them from winning the title, effectively putting shit back in our hands.
i believe, i believe, i believe ....as does Ozil, Kos, Sanchez, Theo, Bellerin, Cech, Monreal, Giroud, Ramsey and yes Wenget ....i believe
Last 4 against Citeh: 3 wins, 1 drawQuote:

Can't do it against the bog boys and our rivals tbh.
I don't want to believe yet, as I've fallen into that trap before.
Cracking result. I have no doubt that this team is capable of beating anyone on the day. It's all about consistency from now on. And can we actually push on and take advantage of other teams failings.
Slightly worried the "big" games are all away from home from now on. Utd, City, Lollerpool, Spufs....
Still, it's a night to celebrate, and chuffed we've tucked away another big win.
