Was going to have a bet on him to score but didn't in the end,just as well as that is €2 I wouldn't have seen again.
I once won £50 on him scoring the first goal against Sunderland a few years back. I got a free bet, stuck it on him to score, won and was then worried that the bookies wouldn't believe he had actually scored.
Comfortable win for a 'reserve' side, some good showings from our younger lads, nothing flashy but but nice to see Perez get off the mark, another lovely long range effort from Granit and well controlled in the centre of the park from Elneny and Xhaka.

I guess Albanians aren't bad after all!
Trust me haters, what I was about to say, I would have been banned from this forum permanently for sure!
He has well and truly silenced the long tradition of anti-Albanian sentiment on this forum.
Oh wait...
What is this guy on about? I've seen him make similar comments before like there is some Albanian discrimination on here. Or maybe he thinks people didn't rate Xhaka because he's Albanian? Odd.
A very enjoyable evening. Comfortable win against a bang average side.
The Bendtner singing was genuine to be fair, not a piss take.
They sang the predictable 'Champions of Europe you'll never sing that' to which eventually we sang 'Champions of Europe you weren't even born'
Hard to judge Perez tonight cos Forest were so bad but I hope it gives him a bit of confidence.
Great support and only one shout of Wenger Out....unfortunately!!
Xhaka and Elneny should be our regular starters in the middle of the park. Both are better than Le Coq, and Cazorla either should play #10 or out wide.
And Perez looks decent, much better than the lamp post.
Something nice and even sentimental about seeing Arsenal go away to the City Ground, wear yellow and blue, have a massive away support and win comfortably.. Reminds me of a day in October or November 1988..
