    I'm as fickle as the next football fan and I've said he has been bad recently but Bacary Sagna was a warrior today. Immense!

    Best defensive display of the season IMO. Up there with the City game. We really were on the back foot for long periods. We need to carry this forward now.

    Just about to watch the game on football first. Great result, though.

    I think Wenger wanted more energy and work rate in the midfield, so played Ramsey there and moved Santi out wide. It was working well until Jack went off and Jenkinson got himself sent off.

    Finished watching the game, and was very impressed with our performance until Jack went off. We were creating chances at will it seemed, and was I liking the link play between Ramsey,Wilshere and Cazorla. In the final part of the game, we showed another side to our to hold on for the three points. Massive three points again.

    How was our new left back? Not much being mentioned in this thread about him ... I presume that is good news?

    Solid on the whole. I think Monreal is that sort of player. Not many will notice him, but he just does his job and gives a 6 or 7 out of 10 performance week in week out.

    Interesting, at the start of the season we drew 0-0 with Stoke and Sunderland. Now we beat them both 1-0. A reason to be optimistic perhaps.

    Usual whinging Gooners. Do you take your cue from your manager or is it natural with you guys?

    Did Arsen see it when you got the 63rd (sixty third) red card under his management?
