My bad look like I got it wrong Sagna not starting, but at least he made the bench.

Haha well i still stand by my statement! Is the team out?

Edit: oh i see the team now

Good result today but kinda makes me even madder when I think about it. The 2nd half display shows what Arsenal can play like if they got their finger out and tried. Just dont see it very often.

Any way, as I said good result and will be playing the winner of Sunderland v Boro next round. With both Manchester teams out could be a trophy we could win!!

Home or away?

Quazzie · 29-01-2012 06:02PM

We're away in the next round.

Still Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs in it. Hopefully they either get knocked out in the next round, or draw each other there after. We could do with a handy-ish run for a change. If we avoid those three teams, we shouldnt have many problems (in theroy).

Frisbee · 29-01-2012 06:04PM

Hopefully Boro. The further we can keep our players from Lee Cattermole the better.

All teams I reckon we could take on our day. We could take City on our day too. UTD on the other hand are just a nightmare for Arsenal. I never feel confident against them.

Wengerust have said some harsh words at half time
And credit where credit is due Walcott was very good second half too

greendom · 29-01-2012 06:09PM

Big result after that awful 1st half. With the squad slowly getting back to full strength, let's hope we can really kick on from here.

yes, I wonder what the result would have been if we'd started with 10 men.;)

KeithAFC · 29-01-2012 06:18PM

Well done The Arsenal

gosplan · 29-01-2012 06:36PM

Who gives a crap about the fact that there were two penalties?

Personally, I'm surprised the officials gave us two correct spot kicks but it's about fcuking time they got it right for a change. :mad:

Dercola · 29-01-2012 07:01PM

Another rollercoaster game today. Ohh to be a gooner

Hopefully, this result will buy monsieur Wenger another few days grace on here :rolleyes: and keep the Wenger out brigade quiet till next week at least..

Great turnaround from the team today. Show's what they're capable of when they've got a rocket up the arse.. Thought Oxo wasn't as good as last weekend, but still 10 times more effective than Arshavin would have been. Says alot really.. Ramsey has had his critics in the last few weeks, but to be fair. I thought he bossed the midfield today. (second half anyway)
Still tho, regardles of how good we were second half, it took 2 RvP goals (spotters at that) and an extremely lucky goal from Walcott to get us the win. But with a couple of key players returning at the right time, this result might be the shot in the arm to get us climbing up the table again

TheSpecialOne · 29-01-2012 07:34PM

Good Fight in the second half but my god we need to cut out the inability to wake up until we go behind. This two weeks in a row we have played shocking in the first half and come out blazing in the second. Walcott did well in the second half even i as one of his critics would admit that...and also i hope we start to see lots more of Oxo, i love the way he runs at defenders and causes panic/create's chances. Onto Bolton we go come on Arsenal!

4--2 I reckon

By the way did you notice the way he celebrated after taking the wrong option and then had the ball bounce off him into the net /
We will take it though.

gosplan · 29-01-2012 07:45PM

Seemingly positive Wilshire update.

I spoke to Jack today. We have no real news yet. The first news we have had is better than expected. He is not in a boot, but I don't know more. His morale looks quite good and I hope it will only be a short setback.There will be more tests this week.

I noticed that too. Quite a celebration for a fluke goal! It'll be great if his goal celebrations are the only thing we critisize him for from here on.

Hazard confirms he is going to England in the summer, prob to Chelsea but we can
still hope

Yeh I'm going to live in hope that its Arsenal. I'm just picturing a front 3 of Hazard, ox and Van Persie with Wilshere in midfield for support that's an attacking force that would scare the be jasus out of most teams.

amiable · 29-01-2012 08:53PM

Does anyone think Arsenal will spend the fee and wages on Hazard?

I think he'll end up in Manchester or Madrid

More than likely not but it doesn't mean we can't dream or hope

Don't think it will be Madrid though he just done a interview were he confirmed hell be moving to Epl in the summer but wouldnt say which club.

So you think there's a chance arsenal will spend over 30 million on one player and over 120k per week in wages?

Maybe if there is a change at the top of the club but IMO the present structure I doubt it.

I saw the reports about that interview.

He gave another interview before where suggested he wanted to play in Spain so who knows.

Real usually get their man when they want him

He's certainly a dab hand at self-promotion

It would certainly take a change of heart by the board. He's the sort of player a team can be built around and if they realise this it could encourage them to break their usual parsimony.

KeithAFC · 29-01-2012 09:41PM

Arsenal need 2-3 real quality creative players in the squad.

Dercola · 29-01-2012 09:47PM

As pants ****tingly awesome as it would be if we signed Hazard. I could never see it happening. I can't see Wenger spending over 30 mill in total this summer. And thats in all area's that need strenght-ning. Plus Wenger likes the ego boost of buying an unknown, and turning them into world beaters :pac:

If Hazard is coming to the EPL in the summer, my money is on Chelsea. They are on a "spending big on youth buzz" at the moment, and would have no problem dropping that level of dosh..

I'd say that whatever Chelsea are willing to pay, City will pay more.

I think the penny's dropped with them that Nasri is only really good centrally so he's most effective in their squad as cover for Silva. The still need really creative wide players.

The thing is Hazard has said he wants to go somewhere he plays regularly.

I can see Man united coming in for him
