Glorious win IMO.
wooo
Giroud scoring, Walcott scoring, Ramsey getting injured... great night in all!
Hardly created anything in the first half but it all came together in the 2nd.
Goals from Giroud and Theo. Not their best games but we need them to find their goal streaks.
Elneny had a good game. Measured passes and helped us control the park. If Ramsey stays injured he should be getting the nod for CM.
Commentators on my stream loved Iwobi but I really didn't see it. Better in the 2nd half but probably better as winger. I don't think he has the passes.
Campbell had a decent game as well. Heck of a pass for that 3rd goal. Good on defence as well.
Are they still called the Hull City Tigers :doh:
Or is that just a hangover pisstake?
Hull City were always referred to as 'The Tigers' when I was at school in Hull in the '60s. It is nothing new. Only thing recently was the owner trying to change the name away from Hull City - something like our owner trying to get us changed to The Gunners as the official name rather than The Arsenal just because he felt like it.Quote:

Very fluid and confident player. Jeff had the same confidence about him too during the limited time he was on. And he looked string.
Bif and Theo, 2 goals each but still looked so ordinary. Poor old Theo has regressed so far he wouldn't make it in football at all if he had to try-out now.
Yeah but Tigers is not part of the official name is it? Until that muppet came along at least.Quote:

With most of the midfield wiped out, he or The Jeff are obviously the only non-Ozil options there. I was thinking more long-term.Quote:

Theo need to drag the ball from behind slightly. Seems more of wide player but have nothing against him learning his craft as a number 10. It wasn't a game where we created a lot of chances so we did well to score 4.Quote:

Helped us dominate possession and keep the pressure on them even though we weren't creating much. As the game went on we started to find our stride.Quote:

More of the same on Sunday please and we're off to Wembley again. :scarf:
We desperately need a winning run and some confidence back so happy with this result. The ridiculous injury curse strikes again though, what is wrong with our players!
Injury to Ramsey is a blessing in disguise tbf. Per just looked groggy and I think he'll be back soon enough. Gabriel, I dont know what happened to him! :unsure:Quote:

Ramsey's looks like a long term injury! :scarf:
Wenger being forced into a working formation by injuries again!!
A thigh strain will probably mean a month out for Ramsey.
So Flamini the keep-fit guy is back in business. Hardly good news.
He won't miss that many league games with the international break soon and FA Cup games.
We need Ramsey. He works better on the right and his absence will also mean more Flamini. Which is really shit.Quote:

I'm with the Gooner on this one.

Ideal moment to put that banner up. It shows the complaint is not knee-jerk and connected to a single result. A 4-0 win but the underlying sentiment is as strong as ever, Wenger has to go. So does Kroenke and Jabba mind you. Would like to see their ugly mugs on banners too. Unfortunately there are already Wengerites coming out with shit about respect and loyalty. I guess for them it's okay for respect and loyalty to be a one way street. There would be no banner if Wenger was doing his job properly, it's that simple.
That said, looking at some of the fawning muppets on twatter, the fans responsible for that banner are probably in for a lot of shit. It tends to happen that way, there are always grovelling little shits who will leap to the defence of their master. Doesn't matter how many times you kick these dogs, they'll still wag their tails when the master shows them the stick and tells them to fetch. You have Ty on there talking about our "brilliant performance" tonight, delusional twat. This board and this manager will need to feel some heat before they even acknowledge the fans, you included Ty for all your grovelling, let alone do something to drag this club out of its self imposed mediocrity.
So good luck to the lads with the banner, they'll need it.
General line from the Wenger Brigade seems to be directed at "plastics who shout Wenger out after every defeat."
It was a 4-0 win you muppets :doh:

Despite the lack of creativity, it didn't feel like we struggled to get the ball into the final third and keep the pressure in their own half for once.Quote:

Playing him there against Spuds also saw us become a bit more solid because of that. We always need bodies in this squad, given the rate we pick up injuries. If Wenger puts more faith in Iwobi, then we might negate that problem.Quote:
