    Arsenal best team in the Prem by a country mile this season. So consistent

    We look so much stronger these days in those periods of the game where the opposition push us back a bit

    Because we can push them back (literally in Flamini's case)

    Not sure I've seen anyone mention Cazorla at all today, guessing he had another quiet game?

    We can stand the heat in those moments. We get organised and just wait until the opposition run out ideas. The BFG organises the defence, while in midfield we have either Arteta or Flamini pulling the team into some sort of shape in order to deal with the pressure. It's brilliant to watch.

    It seems that we have finally gotten over the " panic , manic " style of play from the previous seasons .

    We look far more composed with and without the ball .

    Going through his first poor run of form for us, but still a class player and I have no doubts he will get through this run of bad form. Great thing, if one of our midfield maestros are not at their best, we have two or three others to rely on.

    Remember Cazorla is also still comming back from an injury.

    I hope its just down to the injury and not those rumours that he wanted to go to A. Madrid in the summer...

    I'd start Theo over him at the moment and put Wilshere on the left.

    And he didn't have a bad game today, he was just a bit quiet. But when a team hasso many gifted crative midfield players not all of them can have amazing games :p

    Also last season he was virtually our only creative outlet for most of the season but now he has to share that role so he has to adapt to that. As you said its just poor form he's to class of a player not to rebound.

    I thought we gave a good account of ourselves today and the 3-0 scoreline didn't do us justice although we certainly didn't deserve to get anything from the game.

    Our midfield is soo hard to pick at the moment. Wilshere is reaching his best form again, Ramsey's on fire, both Arteta and Flamini are both playing fantastically.

    Carzorla and Ozil are still to find their best form and we are top of the league.

    Another great win at Cardiff lads, I think you'll walk the league this season, the confidence shown by the youngsters Wenger has brought through the ranks is proving him right about not buying for the sake of it.

    <ok>

    Great performance from Arsenal yesterday. Best we have seen at Cardiff so far. Lessons for us there showing how good football can be. <ok>

    As for Carzola, he didn't do much wrong, just was very quiet. But when you have Rambo, Ozil, Arteta and Wilshere pulling the strings, surely one of them can have a bit of a rest occasionally?
