You'd never catch Woodward being so unprofessional.

He'd have already been in the bath.

I wasn’t really watching the arsenal players close enough to determine which of them were having good games, I was too engrossed in our lot.

That said, Rice is one of the few players in the league who would improve our midfield, I think he’s a brilliant player.

I’m still trying to think of a way to describe the contribution of Tielemans and Kamara though.

If Tielemans is a Rolls Royce, Kamara is an Aston Martin.

They are up there with the best midfield pairings in the country.

In the move to the winning goal Teilemans swung his foot like a pendulum to complete a successful pass. I’ve never seen the like before. It was a telling contribution. But you are right, both were outstanding today.

Tremendous from the TNT commentars at the end. Just silence and letting the crowd cheer. They might have been speechless as their fave lost but it was still the best commentary decidion made for whatever reason.

Thought the same. Drink it in, Villans, neutrals, Gooners. A Buendia finish paints a thousand words.

I feel like I’m in some parallel universe - years and years spent watching well oiled teams routinely find a way to win, even when not at their best. We huff and puff, give it everything and yet still, they win. They carried the air of serial winners. The very, very best teams.

Now we’re one of them.

What a day. What a performance. What a team. What an incredible manager.

In that scramble there are 7 Arsrnal players in the box and we had 8. That is either risking is all for the winner or recklessness. I prefer the do or die version.

Is this real?

Many baulk at Queen so what about Whitesnake?

Is this love that I'm feeling?
Is this the love that I've been searching for?
Is this love, or am I dreaming?
This must be love, 'cause it's really got a hold on me

It's on days like this that I feel sorry for people who do not "get" football.  Magnificent from start to finish...especially the finish!

Yes, I’ve spent all week jumping out of aeroplanes in South America including during today’s game. But sitting in the dropzone bar with a VPN enabled watching the TNT highlight of Buendia slotting home approximately 582 times, is still the most thrilling thing I’ve done recently. What a win.

Has DJT's ground invasion begun then?

Remember a few years ago when we used to see top of the table clashes between Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man city when they were all at different times going for the league and playing each other at different times during the season
and we used to say they are playing a different game to us on a completely different level

Well were one of those teams now

Chills! Great comment!

In my local pub here in Akrotiri, (Moss the owner is a Toon fan and the pub is decked in toon colours), the Hamlet - The place went ballistic when wee Emi scored, plenty of Villa supporters and non Arsenal supporters in the squaddies.

Nearly as good as being there................but not quite.

What a game, what a winner

Let the pundits concentrate on Ipswich, sorry Arsenal, we are in the mix.

A paragraph from the Telegraph:

It was a victory sealed with the final kick of the game but this cannot be described as a smash-and-grab by Emery’s side. They were better than Arsenal for most of the afternoon, creating a series of clear chances and posing some horrible questions of Mikel Arteta’s makeshift defence. Rarely do Arsenal look as vulnerable as they did here, against the running power of Morgan Rogers and the midfield class of Boubacar Kamara.

Yep, clocked that myself.
