Serious snowfall there, wonder will the game be finished.

If the snow keeps up like this we could end up seeing some mad goals.

I remember we were 4 nil up at Blackburn once I think at half time, and then finished 4 nil.

Lots of snow caused them to change to an orange ball.

Arsenal fans singing "We only score with the white ball" still makes me smile.

What a goal! Hon the young lads!

A thing of beauty. Saka finishes.

Roddy23

Another great goal

Ol' Donie

What is happening here?

This is sooo beautiful

Soups123

Young lads have bread life into us, Arteta needs to keep the old brigade out

Sakaaaa

Underground

ESR is an absolute baller.

Bobby Baccala

What are we seeing here...Wengerball at its finest

Jmac24128

Now that's an Arsenal I love to see. Amazing

5star02707

See what happens when we don't do too many touches in the box when they go at it it's a goal

Ardennes1944

Wonderful, wonderful goal

DenMan

He's a piece of work, isn't he? Fantastic

Bobby Baccala

Our wing play is outrageous here Tierney and Bellerin on fire

Alfred Borden

Lacazette has looked really good.

Ol' Donie

I'm actually getting emotional watching this.

Whatever the opposite of a 'mare is, that's what Laca is having.

Bellerin is so much better without Willian on the pitch

I think someone has had a word with him. Not before time either.

jonneymendoza

This is emotional. Thank you arteta!

Bobby Baccala

Ref isn’t a fan of Xhaka he’s watched him get taken out a couple of times already

Ol' Donie

Kieran Tierney appears to be better than all the West Brom players put together.

Ardennes1944

For anyone not able to watch a stream.

Important not to let them back into this.
A third would kill them off.

Ardennes1944

And no.2

Can't understand why we ever have Auba out on the wing. If he's not down the middle he should be on the bench.

tayto lover

Moss is an awful homer of a referee.
Couldn’t wait to book Bellerin for feck all.

tayto lover

We’re getting a bit sloppy now.
Giving the ball away in dangerous areas.

Azatadine

Need another as we are bound to leak one and then everyone will **** their pants...

Auba has been anonymous For the most part

Worse than that. He's missed sitters at 0-0. Let's hope they don't come back to haunt us

DenMan

Just saw a stat on the BBC website. West Brom have conceded 10 goals in Big Sam's three games in charge as manager. Let's hope for more Arsenal goals in the second half. COYG

Hopefully we haven't done another Ozil.

It's amazing. If a young lad put in that performace, you'd say he's just not up to it yet.

Azatadine

I really didn't think Auba was like that but as time goes by, I'm really starting to wonder.

Bobby Baccala

Saka is some player...

Ivanovic has no place in a premier league starting 11, way way past his best.

Ardennes1944

That's the most shots we have had in a first half since Arteta tool charge.
And Auba had the least touches of any arsenal player in that half.

No way Auba is acting the bollix. He's just going through a terrible run of form, same as everyone else up till two games ago.

If he can get on the end of something today, he could snap out of it.

Plus the fact that we're actually making chances should encourage him.

I feel like he needs two goals here or one good solo strike from distance or something similar, a tap-in or penalty wont do it for him

We must temper all this joy with remembering the state of the team we’re playing, they need a major overhaul!

2 eye candy goals though, they were salivatingly brilliant!

tayto lover

A good strong start again now lads.

Underground

I know I've mentioned it here before but I did say around the time we were waiting on Auba to sign a new deal that we should instead cash in and get a proper rebuild going. I love him, and he's brilliant, but he's not the future, time waits for no man and he's 31. The sight of him trying and failing to sprint past the Brighton fullback on the break the other day was a kind of sliding doors moment for me.

That being said, I think this talk of Auba taking his foot off the gas since he signed the new deal is so disingenuous and just very wide of the mark. He's been nothing but a consummate pro since he got here. He's not a Thierry Henry who will single handedly drag us out of the sh*t by taking the ball at the halfway line and beating 4 players before putting it in the net. He's a master finisher, a sharpshooter who relies heavily on service to do his job. He's been playing in a team on a downward spiral with the likes of Xhaka and Elneny who routinely move the ball sideways / backwards. His slump in form came at the same time as everyone else's. Unfair to single him out but then he's the high profile man on the big money so always gonna happen I guess.

I saw him cross a nice ball in for saka and he came close to getting on the end of another and almost lost his Crown Jewels to to post, maybe he’s not fully fit but what’s the other option ? Pepe ??

I'm not a PEPE fan yet anyway..

But 4 games ago we probably would of botched this too, we couldn't score goals from open play. So one game at a time and let's give credit when it's due.

tayto lover

Clearly offside.
Stupid not to put the flag up at the time.
