ramsey was really really shit for 70 minutes, but that last bit with him and ozil trying to create and miss as much chances as possible was fun. Really should have scored that one though. Move was beautiful nonetheless.

So, shit game, shit performance by every one except ozil, koscielny and cech, but we got the win, and we're top of the table alone now. Cmon Watford.

Shows you how important brain and awareness is to a footballer.


Still find it funny that Ozil and Gibbs are on the same team. Gibbs is literally just fresh legs and run a round a lot but to be fair he has done that very well.

He looked absolutely exhausted. Needs a rest somehow


We need another playmaker imo.

Santi is 31, injured for months and has already lost a lot of pace since he joined us.

Need an Ozil backup


Wilshere(if it actually means anything anymore).

not if we get elneny


That would be foolish we need every body possible that has played top level. Debuchy is off if bellerin gets injured we need a rb.I dont want to see flamini back there. Chambers already covering positions.We need bodys. When barca & that fa cup run comes in its gonna be rough.

I will take another 8 1-0 games like this. This must be our best december in years.

that was f***ing hilarious. Ramzil playing as strikers. And they had more chances than the starting front line which is pretty bad.All teh attackers need to start getting into better positions and finishing to kill games off. Team badly needs rest gibbs & chambers running intensity is huge telling difference.

Another hard fought win. I thought we'd crumble after the southampton game but it sounds like we're playing badly and winning, which is what champions do!

I was thinking the exact same thing

Everyone bar ozil was running around like headless chickens, ozil just creates space and direction with a deft touch or turn...

Wilshere is more likely to run into a defender and put us on the back foot. He does have magic in him but we need a good passer, someone would will retain possession and create chances.

That's defo not Jack (although I really rate Jack as an AM)

Wasn't our best game, Newcastle gave us a hard time and our finishing was bad again, 3 points and Leicester lost points so I'm content.
Now wishing City will lose points and that would wrap up a great weekend.

What a terrible form against a piss poor team.

We have a really tough schedule ahead of us...

I am sorry but I dont see this team winning the title.

I see a clobbering coming up in next two months.

Stewart Robson, played for us during the early and mid '80s.

He's turned bitter following his sacking by Arsenal TV in 2012.

Team looked completely shattered Giroud has played all through the Christmas period, no rotation or break Walcott doing what Walcott does best turning up when he feels like it him and the ox just leaving the fullbacks 2 v 1 every time and the fullbacks mainly bellerin just keeping quiet and accepting it, as for Ramsey I now see why he plays on the wing he lacks some serious coaching at 25 he should be the complete midfielder like lampard and gerrard was difference is they understood the defensive side of the game how many times today did Newcastle set off and Ramsey was nowhere to be seen because he had bombed on even past ozil pathetic play just leaving flamini who is one of the most limited midfielders in the league exposed then lastly that miss pure selfishness had Campbell open showing he isn't playing for the team his playing for himself real shame.
