Is Giroud actually playing? He seems to spend a lot of time just watching the ball

Great minds.......

Good first half like. Wenger should maybe have made more changes, give lads with something to prove a chance, some of the arsenal lads are coasting here

One of the best games of the season so far, just like so many of last season's FA Cup games. Not a patch on 30% possession in the Nou Camp and no shots on target obviously.....

Hope our pre-pubescent friend found time to put his PlayStation controller down and watch this

Can't argue with that

Does Giroud think he's been rested for this game?

[Gunner Rob]

I see they have let Jaqui Oatley back into the Emirates.

Almost worth us getting knocked out to see her interview Wenger

Wally frustrates me, he has loads of pace, but he won't run at the oppo. Get at them and scare the pants off 'em.

[casgooner]

Giroud however has no pace, he looked like he was running on butter then

[Chippy]

Hope their GK doesn't get injured cos his U15 team needs him tomorrow.

[casgooner]

Our lads have decided to play a bit now. I think the threat of having to get out of bed and play another match is spurring them on.

[casgooner]

Phew close for them.

[GoonerMuzz]

Unlucky there, good play all round

[casgooner]

Come on Arsenal, we do not want a draw.

About time for our 70th minute wonder substitution from master tactician Wenger
