[AlexAlexCropley]

Arsenal fans are a good bunch, but this feels GOOD.

Are they? More like a bunch of goofs

That is a thing of beauty

I know C115y at home was as good as we’ve played in a long time but was this, dare I say, better?

That's a tricky one. This one feels bigger because of the context, but the City performance was truly dominant.

.
Hard to separate them. The City performance was brilliant, but was at home with a full team. This was away in shaky period with some big players out. Given the circumstances and the fact the pressure's on to finish 4th, I'd go for today. But the City game was utterly brilliant, of course. A mention for Brighton at home as well.

I’ve always liked Kolo Toure as a pundit.

So just to clarify we have won at brentford fulham spurs chelsea and arsenal in all same season.

Has that ever happened before?

1989/90

1-0 at arsenal
2-1 at chelsea
2-0 at spurs

Thanks mate. Incredible!

Was 3-0 at Chelsea that year!

Sour grapes/deflection from Arteta - four goals or more better in the first half? Didn't sound like it. Anyone got the xG?

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, speaking to Sky Sports: "Two very different performances. The first half was superb, one of the best halves we have played against a top team. It should have been three or four - or more.

"We didn't put that score line up and didn't reflect that second half. We lacked momentum. We didn't have the flow we had in the first half and then we conceded two very, very poor goals.

"Credit to them, in the second half we were a bit unprecise with the ball, we weren't able to do what we did in the first half. In the end we lost it so we have to congratulate them on the points."

Pardew just contradicted him on his first half bollocks by saying "I don't think they should have been 3-0 despite a brilliant 20 minute spell, in fact Watkins should have made it 1-0"

UAE 0 - 2 Sultan of Unai

I didn't fancy us at all but fuck me, didn't we play well? Superb, all of them.

[Flamingo Lane]

Given we were under the cosh for most of the first half, it is difficult to overstate just how good that second half performance was, we had control of the ball pretty much throughout, or so it seemed. Our confidence on the ball was a joy to watch, from thee goalkeeper, across the back, through the middle, and in their half. And then the application of killer instinct at the point when Arsenal were just about on their knees. I'm not sure when we last played as well as that away from home, and certainly not against a 'top team.'

Arsenal’s lack of a proper striker has come back to haunt us. So many chances in first half, but none taken. If Watkins was playing for us, we’d have won this 3-0.

I think he is right.

The press/public are latching onto how good Watkins is, fair enough, but it's lazy to overlook the rest of the team many of whom have had great seasons. And give Unai 11 average-joes and he'd make them over-perform.

[saunders_heroes]

Oh and kudos to Kolo Touré who continues to talk up the Villa on Sky when everyone else pretends we weren’t even involved in then game.

Exactly what I said in a post earlier and Merson the twat is being an arse.

Merson was hyperventilating. He must be on something.

[CT Villan]

Brilliant game !

10/10 to all of them (even though Diaby probably didn't deserve it).
That is all of them except Diego Carlos...who gets a 20/10 - from his previous dodgy performances to today's brilliance was quite something to behold.
