Chamberlain is really struggling for form. Really hope he has a good performance soon :?
I really hope we are NOT top of the league tomorrow night!
First and only time I am likely to say that!

Give Villa a chance....where the fuck does that come from???

Hahaha...John Lennon... :D :D :barscarf:

Letting them create 12 chances on goal in second half is a cause for concern...Villa are shit. Imagine letting City do that next Monday? The only reason I can suggest is Arsenal let them build up some confidence in their game, as Garde is Wenger protégé and if villa survive this season, Garde will be a strong candidate Wenger in 2017.

We did more than enough to win against a side that look utter shit and will go down. It was like a 2002 or 2004 Arsenal performance; score early, get another and then drift in and out of the game without ever really feeling threatened. Three points, top of the league and another possibly tricky away day out of the way.

I was hoping for a goal fest, but thinking about it, it is probably a good thing to conserve energy and avoid injuries with Christmas games just around the corner. Three points, no known injuries and a bit of a rest type of game. Top of the League with the best GD.

Great to see Ramsey scoring again. Would love it if he rediscovered his 13-14 form

Think he will grow in confidence, no doubt about it he's a very good player when in top form

I hope he can sort his head out. He did some good things today but still gave the ball away cheaply too many times.

Not a great performance, but a good result. Its strange, i don't think we have improved at all this season, yet we are top of the league.

Easy-ish win, as per normal Arsenal gave inferior opposition glimpses of hope in the second half..Wasn't an outstanding performance but a decent one and what you want if you are genuine title chasers. Can Arsenal win the league was aked several times on Sky today, I don't know but I do know Arsenal can lose/fuck up the title this season.
Ramsey was ok, thought Man of the Match was a bit generous today. He still wants that extra unnecessary touch on the ball and all too often it is an attempt to do something clever. Overall a satisfying visit to Villa Park. One question remains, is there anyone more annoying to listen to than Niall Quinn ?
