Ashburton Grove Gooners

Could've been that number were sold but not necessarily attended...?

In any event, it's just a qualifier...it'll be full for the group matches, etc.

Hopefully Djourou/Gallas will be tried at Newcastle too.

Anyways very good game, some beautiful goals and Denilson/Theo bounced back really well from their bad games against Fulham, both grew into the game and played really well. And Nasri looks absolute class.

Good going tonight, good to see the guys who had trouble last weekend get back up to par.

Now, on to facing the Barcodes.

i feel theo did ok but his decision making still suck tbh..

He's 20...decision making is something that comes with experience.

I think Theo is a striker ... his instincts are that of a striker ... a winger or midfielder requires more composure/decision making/skill but Theo can never be a winger ... he is a striker and he should be played as one ...

btw .. I feel really sorry for RVP and also really pissed because he just hasnt clicked ... I know everyone goes through a rough patch ... but we ned him to be firing atleast when he is not injured ... he must be the only player not 100% happy with todays game ...

Bendtner did well and poorly in parts but he will be better with games and experience ... and finally Fabregas ,, watching him play is just amazing ... he has so much time on the ball its unbelievable ... good to have him back !!

Onwards and upwards .... !!! Go Gunners!!!

RVP's scoring touch SHOULD come back with some more playing time.

On the other hand, he's been injured a lot, so you never know...

great finish by Walcott. Beautiful pass by denilson to Bentner

Much better performance after Saturday. Clichy MOTM as usual for me. Pleased Theo actually played in the game rather than watchin it pass him by. Nasri looks fantastic, never wastes the ball and took his goal well. Apparently came off due to having a stomach bug so hopefully he will be okay for the Barcodes. Good to see Cesc back again, Gallas much improved and seems better playing alongside Djourou.

Biggest impression made on me though was by Alex Song. Only played for 15 -20 mins but showed to me that if Wenger does not Sign a CDM that he should be the man to take that job. Superb on the ball, tackling and awareness.

Saying that though I do hope Wenger does bring someone in.

Well played last night lads

ill wait till saturday for a decent test, we can see then how the team got over fulham then......

Newcastle won't be rollovers...they drew ManU to begin the season, so they are prone to matches of brilliance. We've got to handle them like we did Twente.

i maintain that this game last night was not a good enough test after fulham, that will test will come this saturday against the barcodes

Theo 'Thierry' Walcott..What a finish...
