    Brilliant finish from Ramsey. Really good result after a hard game where we weren't at our best against a well disciplined Olymipacos team.

    That will give the team a lot of confidence <ok>

    All three subs played well. Walcott,Giroud and Ramsey all contributed. Good changes.

    I like the look of Walcott on the right and Giroud in the middle.

    We might not be firing on all cylinders, but we have got some good options up front.

    Arteta doing his defensive midfield job on the edge of the opposition penalty area gets him the assist for Gervinho's well-taken goal.

    Good to see Pod on the scoresheet. He really thumps those shots in.

    Another classy assist from Giroud leads to Ramsey finishing like Messi.

    RIP Nelson Mandela.

    No argument here. The guy is quietly becoming top drawer.

    I think that cameo will give Giroud a lot of confidence. Probably the best he has played since coming to Arsenal. Need him for West Ham. They are a strong and powerful team and are managed by Fat Sam. Giroud for AOC is the one change I will make in attack for that game.

    Nah If Gerv is fit he starts. Although Walcott came on and did well. I want to see him given more chances

    I thought AOC was poor this game, although he made a couple of good through balls in the first half. Walcott deserves to start ahead of him.

    With those stats, you could argue he's possibly the best non Barca midfielder in the world <whistle>


    P.S. OK, so he's not that good, but he is possibly world class now.

    AOC has been poor this entire season so far. He deserves to be benched.
    Mertesacker needs to come back in place of Koscielny against West Ham if he is fit.
    On a side note, what is up with Man City lately?
