Haha. Okay, the assist will not come from a cross, but just a simple pass along the ground.

Haha, I still think you may be asking too much.

TV5 is set to start against Chelsea tomorrow. That is huge. Hopefully this means Koscielny on the right.

Shouldn't be any surprises and should end up being SZCZ, Koscielny, TV5, BFG, Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Walcott, Gervinho, RVP.

While it'd be great to have Wilshere back in place of Ramsey, that is still a damn good squad for us.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Arshavin start. He played really well in midweek.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him come on for Theo in the 74th minute.

I highly doubt he'll start.

What phenomenal effort from Walcott on his goal. Hopefully, getting TV5 back will help solidify the defense and we can make a run. I'm really like our attacking form.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Is Ramsey our answer as the playmaking MF?

edit: What a crazy game! RVP puts the Gunners up after the gaffe by Terry.

Never question my instincts, because my instincts are ****ing honed.

Ramsey was amazing in that game.

Ramsey was amazing in that game.

The kid just needed a chance. I think it was easy for us to forget that he was out for a year. No training at all for almost a year. He's playing the best he ever has, though.

Also, Gervinho's defensive work rate is freaking fantastic.

Loved Theo today. What a GREAT and fun game to watch. WOW

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Our front three are really, really clicking.

In terms of the league, we now have West Brom, Norwich, Fulham, Wigan and Everton before a big test against Man City. We have a good chance of really getting momentum going.

We're still not going to win the league or the Champions League, but damnit we'll finish in the top four. Hell, maybe an FA or Carling Cup. I'll take either one.

[Perceptor]

What a freaking game!!! I was hoping for a draw, but we played to our strengths and exploited Chelsea's high line. RVP was amazing as usual, but Aaron Ramsey played his best game. I always had faith in the kid and I do believe he's going to be great. I'm proud of the team and we may not win much, but we will be a top 4 team so long as we continue to play a more direct style

It's nice to see Gervinho actually get back and play defense unlike Arshavin.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Our first shot at silverware just got a bit harder as we face City in hte next round of the Carling Cup. I have a feeling they'll rest more players than we will.

Absolutely ecstatic at our performance at the Bridge today. I though everyone played well outside of Mertesacker, who just looked awful. And the worst part about that is that he looked the worst when going up for a header which is his strength. Its not looking like he is cut out for the EPL. The good news is Koscielny had another strong game and will look that much better when he is partnered with Vermaelen.

Santos struggled early but I thought played outstanding in the second half both offensively and defensively. He made 4 or 5 beautiful tackles late in the game on Chelsea players in dangerous positions.

Its tough to pick a MOTM between Ramsey and Walcott. But I have to go with Theo. That might have been the best game he has ever played in an Arsenal shirt. Played two amazing balls in early that should have been put away, scored an amazing goal. And really didn't put a foot wrong. Its a shame he just can't be more consistent as the talent is clearly there.

Don't know what to say about Chelsea. AVB should be ashamed, no way a team with Ivanovic, Terry, and Cole should be carved up like that. He is going to be a short timer at Chelsea with a defense organization like that.
