An away game after 2 weeks interlull is always a worry so great that we found a way through. Not great for the first 60mins but we did it. Pleased for Ramsey; he needed a goal!

We need a striker who will score week in week out.
We haven't got one so that's why it is Groundhog Day yet again at Arsenal
You're right, of course. It's been said by everyone continuously since RVP was sold and I very much doubt there's a fan who wouldn't jump at the chance of bringing in one of the few world class strikers in world football.
But as that's not happening any time soon (for one, the transfer window is shut!) it's probably worth looking at the positives and mention that at least Theo (for all his limitations) has a record of something daft like 12 goals in 14 starts (?) and that Sanchez has now got up and running, scoring 6 in 3 (and is the leagues 2nd top goalscorer behind Vardy)... another positive is Giroud's goals even when coming on as a sub.
Good game, good performance and good result. Özil improving; Sancho has found his groove and Bellerin and Monreal ( ) are a pretty fucking solid pair of backs.
Was at the game, paid £200 to sit wit a load of Watford fans.......must mention great away support as usual,
Looking promising, Monreal and Bellerin really impressive, Bellerin has such pace and adventure in his play and seems to be getting better...
Sanchez and Cazorla different class, Giroud coming on and scoring but Walcott disappointing, but have that nagging feeling that not getting that extra top class striker will leave us short in what will be an open title race
WTF was that mobile phones thing about from the Watford fans, that was cringeworthy.......
Nothing to do with the game, which was poor in the first half with good spots in the second, but I got an HD quality stream on Roja Directa with crowd noise but no commentary.
It turns out 'Ramsey square to Ozil' and 'he scored 12 goals in the Championship last year' don't add to my enjoyment of the game.
It turns out I can see what's happening with my own eyes and form my own opinions.
All commentators should be sacked now (starting with those with Victims' connections).
was in the away end, have to say it was probably the best support from our travelling fans for a while- some good new songs as well, oh and the ditty to the watford fans about shoving their mobiles up their arse was superb
the concourse in the away end is dangerously narrow though- not the best place to try and get a pie. and no beer inside the ground either hope they get relegated

Great win, what was all that about the mobile phones lights- was there a power cut or was it their way of adding an escape mode safety lighting to the fire drill.
Good win but not without it's moments, first half in particular. Ramsey drove me crazy , especially in that first half but last night and again this morning I hear and read pundits say he is back to his best. So what do I know ?
Didn't realise the Watford fans would be so "northern -small club".. And the phones ? One Direction concert more like.
