Yeah, it's been a much-improved performance, after the horror of Saturday. Still there's clear nerves, match not over by any stretch.

The "hoof the ball at Carroll" strategy is so ****. Embarrassing that most of the press would rather England used West Ham as the template for their Plan B than Southampton.

Kallstrom's had a good game too, I think. Nothing remarkable, but his performance has been very tidy and efficient. Has used possession wisely and made some incisive passes. Probably exactly what he was signed for tbh.

Good ball winner and can striker it quite well from what I've seen. Hope he grabs a goal before the season ends. Passing isn't great for an Arsenal player though.

Could do with boosting our goal difference tonight btw. Went down six goals compared to Everton last week.

I was just thinking this tbh; didn't want to state the obvious, but it's truly horrible to watch.

I rate Carroll at his best but he's always going to be in scratchy form playing for that pigeon **** lipped ****

Good three points this evening and a much improved performance. People need to cut Giroud some flack and just accept him for what he is, a silver tier striker and thus will have some games where he plays much better, some much worse but will average out at an above serviceable level across a season. Glad he got his goal in the fashion he did tonight as hopefully it'll get a few people off his back (he's slow enough without the extra weight hurr hurr hurr).

Källström was a positive this evening IMO. Willing to take risks and get the ball going forward. If we had actual wingers and better fullbacks than a gassed Sagna then his diagonal balls would be lethal.

Cazorla was a breath of fresh air this evening, so much more like his 12/13 self in the second half than he has been for much of this season.

Aaron Ramsey, spends 4 months on the sidelines and still comes back a superhuman. I wanna boof him so bad.

Good win by Arsenal. In the race to 4th, as funny as it would be to see Arsenal fail I would hate to have a premier league without Wenger...right at the moment that he is able to spend. Then again, you have to admire what Martinez has done this season; along with Rodgers as manager of the year.

To admire and to like something are not the same thing.
They are pretty similar things. I mean if you're making a list of your favourite non-Arsenal players who are probably going to include players that you admire on your list.

I would have thought that the vast majority of Australians would nominate either Rooney or Beckham with Gerrard hardly getting a mention
Ask every Aussie to name an English footballer and I'm sure most females will say Beckham and most males my very well say Rooney. But ask people who have actually watched a premier league match this year, who the English footballer that they like the most from any club that isn't from the one they support and my money is on Gerrard finishing on top.

Not at all. I admire Roy Keane; I admire Tony Blair; I admire Margaret Thatcher, but I do not like any of them.

also along with Tony Pulis wrt manager of the Year, unless Palace mess up all their remaining fixtures and manage to get relegated.


A different discussion about Martinez and Rodgers may eventually be about who replaces Hodgson in a couple of years time.
