He has been unreal this season

Remember during the height of the Wenger out phases in recent years how it wasn't that uncommon for some to suggest David Moyes as Wenger's replacement?:P

Stupid me had Ramsey, Ozil and Giroud and captained Lukaku. Idiot.

I dropped Ozil for Ramsey, had Giroud up front and Kosc at the back. I also stupidly made Lukaku captian though :mad:

Will be ditching kosc after another clean sheet thrown away, might take a points hit to get Ozil back in again.

Ramseys goal

3 defenders on the ground. Only topped by Girouds involvement in Wilsheres goal.

How was Bendtner while he was on?

Palace next weekend is massive now. Liverpool, United and the high flying Southampton follow. Three tough games and if we can come out of it with at least seven points, we'll be in a great position.

We can win all of those games and should do if playing up to scratch.

+1 and forced the keeper into a fantastic save as well as getting involved. I get the impression though Bendys motivation is only as high as the teams performance any given week

My take on Bendy is he's said "jaysus these lads are properly good this season, if i hang onto their coat tails it'll do me good looking for a new team next season"
which it will, he was chunky at the start of the season and in dreadful condition for a pro athlete, but as the pic here in this article shows he's worked hard:

If united keep playing the way they are we will tear them apart. liverpool we can control in midfield but need to be careful at the back.

Sothampton are playing well and will be a test.

Hopefully theo back to offer a different type of threat too

Back there manager to the tilt and play great football.

Yeah lads,if Arsenal played the football like they played today i wouldn't begrudge them either. Playing the best football in the league atm and the goals today were unreal.

Bendtner's a good player. Not title challenging standard, but a good player nonetheless. I wish we still had him at Sunderland.

All those auld Liverpool lads are still very annoyed about '89. Begrudger like Hanson, Houghton, Whelan etc etc. Never a good word to say about Arsenal.

Phil Thompson is very much anti-Arsenal... and a clown of a man.

Yeah I know . I left these out by mistake:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Was in the Liverpool thread to say well done Suarez today he's a great player etc and was promptly told to "let go any ideas of getting Suarez"... Asked where I said that and quoted me from the summer when I said we should bid for him lol, pathetic stuff! Lesson learned. I'll have the last laugh when we inevitably finish ahead of them again at the end of the season and all next year when they're in the Europa.

I'm an inch off the ground! I was impressed with the way we responded to their goal. We seem to be able to step up the gears when we need to. Also in the first half we were winning the ball back very well. Better then I've seen us in a while.

The next few weeks will really tell. I think we will beat Liverpool. Suarez and sturridge are lethal and they will cause us loads of problems but their midfield and defense isn't great and I think we will edge them out. If utd are playing anything like they are atm we should win too but they are more then capable of putting in a performance.

The signs are good tho and we couldn't be playing Dortmund at a better time I think. We have a few options off the bench, are playing well and we are on a good run. I'm confident!!!

Any real need to come back here and post this?
There was enough baiting with Liverpool fans in the summer. Absolutely no need to start it again

agreed. a total arsenal hater. and thats the nicest thing i can think of to say.

That run from Ramsey was ridiculous

Zidane you say

Lads that was glorious in HD on MOTD.

There should be a rule- you can only show Arsenal in HD

Genuinely think the Wilshere goal was one of the best team moves I've ever seen.

It's a real shame van persie left when he did. If he stayed patient a little longer he'd have this midfield feeding him, and could have been an arsenal legend.

I said it as soon as I seen it. It's up there with the best goals of all time. Every single pass was perfect and sublime in the build up.

I know thats a very bold statement to make, but to see a build up where every single pass is perfectly timed and executed is exceptional.

I keep hearing this but fcuk him he bailed on us he don't deserve this midfield feeding him

According to Goal.com he is whinging about Moyes training methods. If Uniteds demise continues we might be able to pick him up come Jan We could offer them Bendtner as payment

(I have my tongue firmly planted in my cheek atm!!)

Aaron Ramsey (Premier League): 5 goals this season (3rd highest), 40 tackles (highest), 556 passes (3rd).

Those feckers in Madrid will be after him next Summer if he continues this run just you watch or they'll discover he has Catalan DNA in Barca !!!!

oh totally. I look at him now and his career will wind down and won't ever be classed as a legend of any club. he sold that legacy for 1 PL title.

Noo

Ramsey is just unstoppable at the moment. The second the ball came to him in the box I was celebrating...he may have still had to dummy a few players but ya knew he was never gonna miss hes that on fire!

Those higlights today were amazing , here's hoping we can turn it on at Selhurst next week we've come undone a few times there despite them always been ****e

My God.

How good would a reversal of the 8-2 feel?

Looks like I have a replacement on my Sky+ box for that Newcastle moment.
