Wow. Good goal. Awful defending.

Assist from Giroud.

Not sure about jack n tets protecting the back four though.

I know on the sky website their picture line ups has podolski up front but is he really playing up front ?? :shock:

To be honest, only arteta is playing in midfield, the mackems are that poor.

Superb goal. Rosicky has been by and large superb since coming back from injury 2 years ago and it's such a pity he's suffered such terrible luck throughout his Arsenal career. It's an absolute godsend with the likes of Cazorla and Ozil in the squad to have such a creative player who can also mix it about and puts in a massive shift so as not to be a luxury.

Sunderland have been dire but very early goal and 3-0 up by half-time. Great job.

Did anybody else have the same stream as me? The bloke on the commentary got a bit carried away I think. As I said it was a superb goal, but his reaction was "Goal of his dreams.... a moment in time that will be replayed for years and years". :shock:

Good to see Giroud respond with 2 goals. Competition from the postman gave him the kick up the arse he needed.

I've got the same commentary on TV over here. Tony Gale it is, I think. He also suggested that "Lee Cattermole could have made a difference today". Right. Sunderland could have been playing with 10 by now instead of 11.

Make no mistake, Sunderland are doing us a massive favour in this game. This had potential banana skin written all over it after tuesday but Sunderland don't even look premier league competitive.

We have to keep our wits about us in the second half because they surely can't play any worse.

It wasn't Stuart Hall live from his prison cell was it? :oops:

I'd like to see Gnabry now,and Sanogo,but leave Pod and Tomas on,I think if the Postman got a goal he'd be off and running,Sunderland are not great,

Yeah it sounds like Tony Gale (not just the accent, always chats shit) but it was the co-commentator.

Agreed that it's a gift for Giroud, whatever you think of our striking options it can only be a positive whenever one of them gets a shot in the arm like this.
