Good 2nd half. Arshavin Man of the Match. Song good game second half. Glad AW pulled Denilson and not Song. Song I think could play by himself with Fabregas now. he's doing much better.

Bendtner garbage. Ade was good when he came on and so was RVP.

You can see Fabregas comes to life when his partners Ade and RVP are playing with him.

Toure solid at the back again. Well done.

Agree with you on that one Yankee... Cesc looked better with them 2 in front of him.

In closing, they say it's a good team that wins playing badly... well we must be freeking awesome as we were shit today and won comprehensively.

Great result, and another top second half performance. The injuries are beginning to mount but Silvestre and Toure did well together.

Important to keep the winning run going I think, for the sake of confidence, ahead of a massive 10 days.

Hopefully 4th place is looking a litle bit more secure now - could do with a draw tomorrow with Villa and Everton to consolidate that even more.

Bring on Tuesday...

Winning games like this is what being great team is all about in my opinion. We have become a whole different team with palyers like Arshavin, Walcott and Nasri avliable on the wings and if we have all these players fit for the majority of next season (and Fab stays) I reckon we'll be challanging for the title.

Gibbs didn't impress, he needs somebody next to him to guide him and help him make sure he's close to his man all the time. He could still learn though.

Two of the players that scored still had very poor perfomances in my opinion and they're still far away from the standard I'd expect of an Arsenal player. Hopefully somebody will see Songs goal on youtube and offer us 15 m for him in the summer :lol: . Silly is still too unreliable and looks to "dizzy" in his defending.

I'm not sure what's up with Robin. He keeps talking in the media about his desire to win titles etc but on the pitch he seems to have lost his confidence and doesn't seem to be enjoying his football. A wild guess is that he wants to stay but the club haven't offered him a fair deal. I doubt the club are offering him the same they gave Adebayor last season and in my opinion that's the very least he should be asking for. That was always gonna become a problem when they gave them money to Ade anyway, there will be plenty of players that feel they contribute as much as him or more.

Come on, Song improves a lot recently and he is still 21. I would keep him for at least another year if he can keep his form till the end of this season. Remember he can still play as a CB. Having seen that Gibbs was far from impressed today. I would play Song to replace Djourou on Wednesdy's game if Dhourou is not avaliable, and play Silvestre as LB. Play Diaby as DM along with Cesc, Nari and Walcott.

I think he's impoved in the way that he does a few more things well when he plays now but the silly errors are still there every game. Before scoring that goal he gave away a stupied free kick that could easilly have lost us 2 points and gave away the ball in dangeros positions at least twice in the last 15 minutes.
