Why should you not be happy? Strange...I think it does not matter if my team wins and goes into the next round I would be happy...
Agreed Tomas, we won!!! After bring 2-0 down!!!
What frustrates me is today clearly shows we are capable of the urgent, pressing style with faster counter attacking football. What I don't get is why it needs to wait until we are 2-0 to start?
We could have been home and dry by half time and able to rest a few players but that just wouldn't be Arsenal, would it?
I suppose we showed some passion in the 2nd half that I suggested at ht was badly missing so that was encouraging I guess.
One of the things that seriously pisses me off is that for 15 minutes at the start of the 2nd half we up the tempo big time and really go at them but when we took the lead we regressed back into the tippy tappy bullshit again - has this team learned fcuking nothing ? Tippy tappy 2 nil down but agressive football leads to 3-2 up so why not stick with what is working ?
Have to say that I too am encouraged that even at 3-2 up I didnt hear a single "1 arsehole wenger " chant - at the end of the match he still looked well pissed off so maybe just maybe he knows that we want him replaced

same here. can't understand people being unhappy when their team wins a football match. i'm not pleased with how things are going for us, but i'll always take an arsenal victory with much delight
I think because I had, at half time, resigned myself to losing but accepted that it would put Wenger under huge pressure to go but he has now been let off the hook and will cite the return of Arteta, Sagna as justification for not buying quality in area's where we are still weak.
I'm delighted & relieved at the same time but what the victory will say to the AKB's and clueless sheep at the bowl is "wenger turned that around" when in actual fact he was more responsible for us going 2-0 down

Also huge credit to Ramsey for winning the tackle and then going on that run before being bought down for the penalty to drag us back into the game early on in the second half

You never know. Maybe some of those supporting Arsenal at the Grove today are just as unhappy as you....but just more loyal gooners than you are!

Rosicky was quality today! Sorry Rosicky haters but it's true. Also Kos is immense. Coq and Ox are the future! Fantastic prospects. Great to see Bac too, the man is a legend.
Come on lads, Wenger played his part at half-time so acknowledge it at least.
Okay, his decision making was dreadful last week but he galvanised them at half-time today so thumbs up to some extent from me (doesn't make up for last few weeks but can't be ignored)
We're one step closer to Wembley and that's what we all want so let's be cheerful

Coquelin a right back though or sat in front of the back four?

They did up the tempo and deserved something but not sure we deserved 3.
I think we have been lucky and it is a flattering scoreline.
Lucky yes, but I think we was unlucky to be 2 down at half time, the first half wasn't terrible.
We made our luck in the second half by having the balls to go at em, Theo and the ox were great and I've been Theo's biggest critic in the last few weeks.
