    Can't remember the last time I celebrated an Arsenal goal like that.

    Woke the baby up but I'll take the inevitable heat from that any day if we score more like that!

    I tore off the jersey I had on - a yellow card offence - lashed it across the room and hurt my throat screaming my ass off.

    It's on boyos.

    And dig this, we should have won by 4 or 5. We were great today, not perfect, but good enough to beat anyone in this league.

    Special word for Theo, what a time to arrest your slump in form. Brilliant.

    And Ozil, another assist, probably should have been several.

    There is nothing quite like football for filling you with joy one minute and tearing your heart to shreds the next.

    This makes the result all the sweeter. I'm just disappointed I won't get to see him tonight on MOTD

    Thought the Leicester fans in the stadium were very quiet for such an important game for them.

    Crowd could try give the team a lift.

    This is a huge match in the title race, very poor from the crowd.

    I agree that the crowd were very mute. There was nearly a better atmosphere in semple for a drab one sided league match last night.

    Like raise the ****in roof folks the lads need you as much as you need them! I really cannot get over the supporters today. Real fans are being priced out of it and in their place you have people who would make tennis fans look as wild as the ally pally darts crowd

    In fairness he's bang on. It's done that to me plenty of times. The opposite today though!

    Was watching a debate about it last week. There really needs to be a designated singing section to get everyone going.

    What a brilliant day. The bitter reaction from the fans of other clubs makes it all the sweeter.

    Now, all we have to go is go on and win the bloody thing.

    Or lower the ticket price and let the real fans back in who'll make some proper unforced noise.

    With the way society is today I'm not sure there is such thing though. Football was almost a cathedral one time for those to go and worship. Now its just another thing to do at the weekend

    It is a bit sad to see Remi Garde involved with that absolute disaster of a team that is Villa


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,242 ✭✭✭FixitFelix


    Just seen the goal, Vardy kicked Nacho for the peno shouldn't have been given, Great assist by Giroud, Leicesters marking was shocking for our winner but ill take it

    Great result


  • Moderators Posts: 8,900 ✭✭✭x PyRo


    Forget Welbz, this was by far the best moment of the match.

    The baby will be in your position years to come from now waking their own child.

    Feck it, the baby will have the rest of their life to sleep as much as possible.... Goals like this are once in the blue moon though :)

    He didn't go into it blind though.

    Out with missus and son for vday so was following on BBC text. Everyone jumped in the car when I screamed after seeing Danny scored!

    (The missus was driving BTW)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,343 ✭✭✭Bobby Baccala


    Suppose anything can happen in the league now. Time for Wenger and the team to grab this league by the scruff of the neck and fúcking win it. We've let too many opportunities slip over the years to let it happen again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 959 ✭✭✭MonsterCookie


    Kasper got MOTM from BBC which is fine, but I though Cech was superb in the first half...a few really good saves, and played well as a sweeper in second half!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    My heart.. I didn't even dare to celebrate, I was waiting on a flag or a late referee free given how this game was officiated.

    Great win, not so great performance but it's the result that matters. This puts us right back in, roll on Utd.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,129 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    Amazing, can't remember a last second like that, COYG

    Interesting stat:

    "Welbeck's goal was Arsenal's 100th goal scored in 90+ minutes of a Premier League game; more than any other side."

    We're not winning this.
    Best we can hope for is a last minute equaliser from someone.

    Ok.. I was like 50% right :pac:

    Can't bloody believe that! So happy it was Welbeck that scored.
    I had to leave the house and meet someone so i left in the 93rd minute assuming that'd be it.

    I creamed the roof off when i came back.

    Haha now thats passion!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,896 ✭✭✭emmetlego


    Wow. We deserved to win no doubt, but credit to Leicester! They blocked every shot and attempt we made with great ferocity! They are an incredibly well organised team and we showed great bottle in the end! Mesut's pass was just fantastic! I roared the house down when that went in... Now either a City win or a draw now for the perfect Sunday!
    YAHHHHOOOOOO!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,586 ✭✭✭Canadel


    Welbeck and Cech are the only premier league winners in the Arsenal squad. Welbeck has a winning mentality combined with a never say die attitude ingrained in him by Ferguson and the culture that existed at Utd back then. Looked confident today and I'm sure he'll have a lot more to contribute before the end of the season.

    Sanchez let his shooting boots at home today

    Still only coming back.

    Nothing to worry about.

    What a savage match. Great attacking football, some sublime defending on both sides an a pair of great keepers also.

    Thought we were really building momentum up to that penalty. We looked solid defensively with Coq back even though the ref was goin nuts with his pocketbook.

    I could see the red coming from how the game was going, just didn't know for which side! I think we nearly had a harder job breaking down their ten men as we were finding our stride with their attacking play but they shut up shop. Sanchez needs to come up with a few more tricks he was very readable today. Giroud fantastic, was all over the pitch and shows what he does bar the goals today. I was surprised Walcott an Welbeck got the nod ahead of Campbell, and even Ox in the first place, but it definitely paid off and bought all three were great today.

    Ramsey needs to sure up his passing. I'd like to see Elneny get a run out soon to show us whether he can take the role more comfortably than Ramsey does, but suing that I think he was better when Coq was still on.

    Just a great game of football definitely one of my favourite matches so far this season!
