As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
I've got a good feeling about this season now. Even our poorer performers recently (Clichy, Almunia) played quite well, and we were very mature after Ramsey's unfortunate injury (wishing him the very best). As soon as the game restarted, we were just focussed on winning.
Stoke was one of three games I was worried about this season - the other two being City at home and Sperz away. The race is back on!

If Mrs Chippy had not been tasked with having the tea ready for just after the game I would have posted a thread with the same title. There is normally a defining moment in a season that makes a huge difference. I think the way the team responded after Ramsey's injury was it. The contrast to B'ham is obvious.
The other two have harder run ins and our boys are now fired up, literally with a vengeance.
I liked the way Cesc got everyone together at the end. It was good to see Sol adding his bit too. In some respects Sol could prove to be AW's best signing this season. Not so much the playing side of things as to what he says to individuals and how he has that winning mentality. I think he is a real benefit in that respect.
I think this could really galvanise our team and give them a cause to fight for.
It's definitely on now!!!
