Wow what a dismal performance by two clearly out of sorts teams but I think we deserved the 3 points.

Really thought Kos had an awesome game, it's just so frustrating that he can't seem to put these sort of performances out game after game. I also think Mertesacker was decent.
Midfield-wise, I thought Rosicky was the only one who stood out for me as he really brought the ball through the midfield at pace.
The only other good performance for me was from Gervinho when he came on. I thought he looked quick and inventive.

From the bad stuff
Song - Christ
Santos - I've never seen a brazilian give a ball away as much as him
Arteta - Poor Poor performance, just doesn't seem to know what his role is meant to be
Walcott - Alright him having a go at Jenkinson all the time but he needs to get his own house in order first
Arshavin - I defend this guy normally but he was shocking
RvP - Sorry dude but Fabregas doesn't play for us any more our players brains are a lot slower - you have to stay onside.

Officials - Two penalties not given. 1 ridiculous booking. 2 incorrect offsides given, its just not good enough for this standard

0-1 away in the CL against a good Marseille team is a cracking result. When was the last time we won 1-0 away from home? Really enjoyed this win.

Delighted with a old-fashioned 1-0.

I'm encouraged by the defence and think Rosicky is starting to show some consistent form but FFS, Arshavin!!!! How does that lazy bastard have the nerve to collect his salary every week?

Perfect away win in Europe. Keep it tight, score last minute winner. 1-0 Perfect!!!

ITV pundits absolute shit! keane hates arsenal, and arsenal supporters, o'neil "doesn't get on" with wenger and southgate is unispiring at best. They seemed gutted we won. No one like us again

i love reading french forums in google translate lol:

"Shit! I break the balls.
Nothing, not success, we had more juice in the second, if you've got even more physical this time of the season, while the mind is at its lowest, we can expect a what?"

"I stop the fees for this season. Team of shit, they all go get screwed.

MLD's bastard, you've fucked my passion."

"vel to lose against the ghosts of arsenal, it was really good looking.
our team is not worth a nail."

"Fuck you and always .... I think â‚¬ 100 for my apple"

"From fucking mess of his mother to wife under suspicious to your sister! "

But CB's played well

Jenkinson good going forward

It says something about our midfield when Rosicky is our best player.Arteta poor again.He just doesnt play any forward passes.

Walcott had another shocker.His days must be numbered

We deserved to win because Szczesny didnt have one shot to save.

Boring maybe, when United play badly and scrape a win its called masterful and is an artform, when we do it we are boring and dull.

A win is a win, most would take an ugly win.

And for Song, and for Santos.

Truly baffles me when people slate our defending then fail to notice a player being disciplined and doing his defensive duties because he's not doing many Hollywood passes.
