    Let's talk Chambers?

    Played very well, was composed and always looked calm. His rabbit in the headlights days may be behind him.

    Interesting stat:

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

    It's interesting, but I don't feel that it tells the full story.

    I always think that Arsenal only get last minute goals when we're either losing by 2+ goals or winning by 1+ goals ourselves. Makes todays goal even more special from me.

    Purely anecdotal, and I've zero stats to back this up, but I'd say Man United have the most points won by last minute goals than any other team, way more than Arsenal. Funny that we get a Man United player and he starts getting last minute goals.

    Hopefully it's a sign that the players are all clued in, they have to know that this is their chance this season.

    Chambers had a few messi-esque runs too.

    I was shocked.

    That handball against Sterling shows how much of a lottery they are. Can't see how that is any worse than the Leicester incident.

    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.

    I'd say it's simpler tbh. Leicester were wrecked and Welbeck is an incredible athlete. Bring him in fresh and he'll out- jump anyone.

    We brought on two actual attacking substitutes today and they both scored.

    It's that simple.

    Looks like we will have to win the league to guarantee St. Totteringhams day this year!

    City's top 4 results this season are shocking.

    Spurs not going away.

    Just spotted their victory on my newsfeed and came here to post the same thing.

    It's all set up for some unbelievably big games over the coming months.

    Haven't beaten them in the last 3, not great reading. Jesus, we'll be playing them at 12.45 Saturday, after a Wednesday night match.

    Spurs or us for the title imo. Let's crush them in their own back yard.

    Spurs now I think go Thurs/Sun/Thurs/Sun/Wed/Sat(us)

    That's one extra game to us.

    With our remaining away fixtures, Spurs have to be the favourites?

    Just seen this on my facebook feed.

    "Today was the first time in 5 years that Arsenal won a Premier League game when in a losing position at half-time."

    That's a bizarre stat if true

    In some ways I fancy us more away, with Welbeck back and Ox and Walcott coming into some kind of form. We played great counter attacking football at the start of the season.

    When we are home with the bulk of possession, sometimes we look short of ideas.

    What a game for my first visit to the Emirates. Nearly lost my mind when Welbeck got the winner. I'll be hoarse fit the next few days.

    Giroud was fantastic today - his hold up play especially is so valuable to our attack. Man of the match for Arsenal for me.

    They have UEFA cup. Major pain in the ass for them.

    Next two weeks or so everyone plays 2/3 games

    Lecister play none

    That could be very telling

    Fiorentina could definitely toss them out of that.

    We have to start racking up decent scores against the lesser teams.

    Spurs have a very small squad, they'll struggle when the Europa League comes back around.
