Redknapp reckons the decisions went our way

Oli out until January.

Oli out until January.

Is that in Arsenal months or calendar months?

One thing I didn't like was how Chambers thought he was brought on as a CB. He left our right-hand side right open and expected Ox to play as the RB. If that was Wenger's plan, Ox clearly knew nothing about it. Meh, we got away with it but it was a bit worrying.

In that case. We need a new striker

Oh jesus, we bring it on ourselves tbf. Should've been 3 or 4 up and comfortable even before Debuchy's sending off. Had a chance or two after it as well. Guilty of missing a couple of chances but Alexis' work rate is unbelievable. Him and Ramsey in the team means we'll be ending games very strongly. Besiktas were pretty good but we'll face much harder teams and we've got to make these games easier on the fitness levels or we'll be dead in the league.

Cazorla was MOTM, mainly for his workrate on the left. Mature stuff to prevent any panic. Monreal has been solid all season. Flamini went mental for about 5-10 mins in the second half but was otherwise good too.

Wilshere is getting sharper. Wenger said he needed 6-7 games in a row without getting injured and he might find some consistency. Created a few chances with lovely reverse balls and managed to carry the ball a bit further before getting battered. A bit sloppy and lacking streetsmarts in the final 5 mins though.

Wengers says Sanogo is a very good striker.

He's such a teaser

[Niall_Quinn]

The fake Niall Quinn trying to embarrass me by saying he like Sanogo

[Niall_Quinn]

Good job we didn't have the pen shouts or else Sky would have had no highlights

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal .

An easy 4-0 turned into a contest by corrupt officials.
