A starfish from Big Man to make it look like the pitch was to blame .

I am traveling this weekend and I was drunk last night with my mates from college yet woke up at 7:45 to watch the game and I have praised the team. I am sorry for not being on GW all the time..

was not having a go just saying instead of people whining all the time best not to say anything

The racist bottled it just like he did in the CL final with that "slip".

Big Man.

We have to be number 1 game on Match of the Day!!

The Independent has included "Every one of Terry's outfield team-mates joined in the celebrations with their skipper, who appeared to swear at the away support in response to their goading." in their match report. Hopefully he'll get huckled by the beaks for that too. Any thing like that happens up here in Scotland, The player gets villified by the media and the SFA get involved too. Sometimes if it serious enough the old Bill get involved too.

Can't stop smiling!

Today I fell back in love with Arsenal. I'm not going to analyse anything, just enjoy a fantastic performance and a fantastic result. The heart we showed in coming back twice; the confidence that our players showed. Walcott. Ramsey. Our amazing captain - Mr Arsenal. And the genuine joy from the players at our result. After all the depression today feels so sweet.

Thanks for that, boys.

I'm still biting my nails, listening to 5live and waiting for Wenger's post match views. Fucking stream stopped just after RVP got his champagne. That was a great gesture by captain fantastic, giving Rambo the bottle tellin him to share it with the boys.

I FUCKING LOVE YOU ROBIN!!!!!!!! Sign him Gazidis, PHW cough up the dough for him, if you cant see he is worth it then just hurry up and die you fuktard.

a year ago that was a game we would have lost 5-3. but we seem a bit more resilient with experienced players like per, arteta and gervinho in the team.

walcott needs to be as arrogant as he was today. played as if he knew he could take on ashley and beat him.

gervinho- utter class. so direct and different.

wojciech was a nutter as usual. good confidence for such a young keeper.

kos was amazing again. shows what a bit of confidence can do to a player.

per's positioning was good but he still needs time to adapt.

santos was a different player in the second half. think this is the difference between experienced, strong willed characters and players who are mentally weak- whilst clichy would have come out in the 2nd half and still had a shocker, santos was able to regroup and wipe the slate clean and turn his performance into a blinder. his tackling is awesome but his positioning is weak, needs time to adapt.

one thing i will say is how biased sky are towards any team we play. kept going on about how chelsea were poor and focused on the midfield/torres losing the ball constantly, never mentioned the fact they were losing it was because we were sharper and better than them. seems as if whenever we win its because the opposition are having a poor game, when in fact its not, its us deciding to turn up and playing them off the park.

oh well, great result. COYG!!!!!

Too right. Its so tedious. I disliked the reference to the 'London Boys' playing for Chelsea, then the reference to no such players in red - as though we were a team of foreigners, when we played 3 UK players to the Chavs' 4. And the constant references to our defending - when by rights we should have conceded just 2 against an attacking, strong team that people have been eulogising. I don't like the dwelling on negatives with us rather than an astonishing performance going forwards.
