Just caught the highlights - been a while since I've seen an Arsenal team looking this confident and disciplined at the same time. Good stuff.

I mentioned this on AHFC before it closed, but I'm loving the number of different ways we can use our midfield options at the moment - pick any 3 out of Flamini, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Rosicky, Cazorla and Özil and you're looking at a pretty solid, creative central trio, and a number of different ways you can shape the side to suit any given opponents. Really can't wait to get Cazorla back now - I have a feeling him an Özil are going to really benefit from playing each other.

And speaking of Cazorla, wasn't he saying he was hoping to be back for the Napoli game? What happened there?

On the defensive side of things, it's good to see everyone maintaining the same humility and work rate that's been a characteristic of this side since March - I know that should be a given at all times, but I've seen enough recent Arsenal sides who look like like they get it one week, and then get carried completely away with their own good form the next, and start shirking the donkey-work, that I find myself grateful to see it each week. This is going to be key to our season - we're on an amazing run right now, but we can't start thinking that we're so good that we can start relying on just the GK, CBs and DM to sit back and do all the work, while everyone else swans off up front all game.

Is it just me or does Giroud look a little more agile(?) this year? I mean, he's never going to be fast, or skin defenders for speed, but he looks a little bit lighter on his toes this year, and his reactions that little bit faster...
