It needs to be said that giroud is not good enough to be centre forward on any team hoping to win trophies

He's not a world class centre forward, but he is decent. That assist for the 2nd goal is a good example, he does that hold up play very well and it gets overlooked.

As he's all we've got I'm not sure why he's still on

Arteta injured now......at least we'll have our big transfer window signing ready

and now maybe the ox too

And now the Real business starts COYG just gotta show us more

[spendsum4uckingmoney]

Well who saw this coming? 2 midfielders injured just after deadline.

Podolski is poor. If he were English we would be talking about how over hyped we are.

To listen to the media wanking themselves silly over pubis in recent weeks, you would think that they are on verge of champs league qualification - they are 1 point out of relegation zone, are still shit and will still be relegated Cant wait to put an end to this "pubis has never been relegated" b*llshit

[UlsterGooner]

Good solid second half performance. Now let the fun and games begin....

[topcat]

Decent win. For me, he didnt play amazing tonight except setting up ox's first but cazorla is our best player.

Two moments of magic lit up another boring pedestrian game - Giroud and Ox's move was great, Ozil looked very unhappy when he came off.

No pace, no excitement. Nothing to get the crowd on their feet .Sad to hear the eagles fans singing 'can you hear the Arsenal sing' and 'you're supposed to be at home" .

Still, I bet the Chinese tourists had a great day out before Cats...

Are you telling me that there was no "there's only one...." ? Steve O will be seriously pissed off

Palace parked the bus from the outset.

Good work by Cazorla and Ox picking the lock. A banana peel avoided and now we can watch Shitty and Chavs go at it, wishing them a goalless draw.

Was a bit worried about Ozil's body language over the last while but my brother did point that he always looked like that at Madrid so maybe he's just a down in dumps sort of fella

[Wengerism]

Our last six home premier league wins have all been 2-0

[falkirk goon]

It doesn't matter how you win as long as you do win they were shite we were shite and the game was shite but 3pts a clean sheet and top of the league(well until tomorrow night) will do me.

He was keeping our hand in, we had like 75% possession. These are the matches which drive me nutters, opposition is parked in two rows of five in front of goal. Credit them, they know how to defend. It's when not everyone is pulling their weight we finish, unable to crack them -- the most frustrating matches of them all.

Happy we broke it open and picked up a breather. Ox is back and that's essential with the run coming up.
