Oh god, I'm sorry I posted that.

Got back about an hour ago.
Comfortable, comfortable, comfortable.
Defence superb again. Mertescielny top notch.
Chesney brilliant.
Wilshere and Giroud the outstanding players tonight. Giroud doesn't stop working and Jack found his mojo.
Flamini protected the defence well.
So fucking proud of these boys.
As for Arsenal fans![]()
Everytime stewards told us to sit down someone would shout 'STAND UP IF YOU HATE TOTTENHAM' and everyone would stand up again![]()
Was standing all game pretty much.
Love it.
That was basically a training match until Valbuena and Thauvin came on.
I don't want to excuse the sloppy passes, the poor final balls/finishing and the continued presence of Mesut Arshavin, but sometimes an opponent is so poor and I suppose it devolves into something as odd as that.
It should really have been 5-0 at the very least though. Maybe it's not so important at this CL stage, but squandering the chance to boost the goal difference could be costly in the League. For all the progress the team has made over the last year, not killing teams off and hammering home our superiority is still a problem. It's unprofessional to just loiter around when you should be taking advantange of any situation.
Despite the underwhelmingness of it all, Ramsey, Wilshere, Giroud and the defence again were really good. Szczesny is so impressive at the moment and he will only get better. Maybe it's too early to say it definitively, but seeing Wilshere getting in to goal-scoring Ramsey-esque positions shows that it could be about to all click together for him too. Not that there was ever any doubt that he would regain his form again, but his actions in the final third are much improved.
Ramsey is just ridiculous now. He seems to pull out new tricks every game and they're all coming off. He's the centre of the team in every way currently. Giroud an absolute physical fulcrum. Sagna is probably playing the best football of his life. Sign him up FFS. And it's almost as enjoyable watching Koscielny and BFG nicking the ball off strikers and intercepting everything as it is seeing a triangle special outside the box.
With the team performing well, Ozil's lacklustre attitude and failure to even execute the basics can be somewhat overlooked, but if it continues it's a worry. He did improve slightly in the second half though.
Anyway, Arsenal.

At least he's stopped spouting off about Nietzsche - that's something...
Just saw the highlights again. Our finishing![]()
Yeah, when did Jack Wilshere become our most clinical finisher? Great news for us though if he's finally found his scoring boots - that really was the only thing lacking from his game...
