Utopia Parkway

Deflection on the cross put it right on Walcott's head.

efb

Podolski Assist?

Mickeroo

Great to see Pod back.

jonneymendoza

need another goal come on!!!

Hammer Archer

Predictable.
Four goals for Walcott in his last 3 games against us.

Missed the first 70minutes, only saw the last goal there. How have Arsenal been playing? Any players been exceptionally good/bad. Excluding Theo of course

Cazorla back to his best. Gibbs-quality. Podolski looking good. Bad mistake from Ches for goal and Giroud and Ozil awful. Theo not great until the 2 goals!

HazDanz

Not surprised the fresh players are coming up trumps for us. Fantastic result if we hold on to it.

You think Sam Allardyce plays total football? Wouldn't say that, but you said it, not me.

x PyRo

What. a. goal. Welcome back Pod!

Mr Blobby

YES!!!

tayto lover

Brilliant goal Podolski :D:D

Mickeroo

What a bullet. Nice assist from Giroud.

jonneymendoza

yes game over come on 3 points thank u so much u gunnners. well done well played all job done

Spanish Johnny

I just love Podolski!!:D In fairness it has to be said - well done there Giroud also!

Hammer Archer

Great finish. Podolski could be the difference between Arsenal winning the league and getting overhauled.

And another...

I would say you could take the word "total" out of the sentence above and you'd be closer to the mark.

Shame for west ham, they dont deserve to be inflicted with allardyce.

double GG

Game set and match. Great Arsenal come back. West Ham perhaps should have had 2 or 3 before Arsenal for their first but you could argue Arsenal could have had a few in the 1st half.

Thoroughly enjoyable end to end game!

efb

ze German Machine. Delighted for Podolski

Soups123

Great to have Pod back

tayto lover

FFS Gibbs. You have to be stronger than that.

Spanish Johnny

Theo got the two goals and MOM and hard to argue with that but I thought Cazorla was magnificent. I think he is better in the middle than Ozil and should be put there.

bad2dabone

Love poldi. Gives us more directness that we miss.

Jesus, Joe Cole is still on the pitch!

I have to laugh that you have such hatred for a football manager you've never even met. Each to their own though.

Fair play to Arsenal, didn't think they had that in them.

Yeah, if we had went behind like that this time last year I would have felt the game was as good as over. Shows the difference in the team this season imo.

greendom

The injury to Ramsey really made all the difference. He'd been largely ineffectual today and his replacement completely transformed the game. Having said that hopefully Ramsey won't be out for too long, if at all.

Despite the assist, I thought Giroud was poor too as was Ozil. Great that we can still win when 3 such important players are off their game.

tayto lover

Anyone else think our central defenders looked a bit dodgy in the second half?
West Ham had too many easy chances for my liking and we could have been 3 down at one stage despite all our possession.
We need Koscielney back for Newcastle.
