Two goals for Flamini!

That's not a typo!

Love you, Mathieu.

Lol what a weird game.

Flaming on a hat trick. Didn't think I'd every type that one.

Aside from the win, I'm also tickled to see Kane's goalless run continue to start the season.

He scores when he wants, he scores when he waaaaannntttsss.... Mathieu Flamini, he scores when he wants!!!! Joint top scorer with Giroud this season

Couldn't believe and had to chuckle at Spurs who couldn't take advantage a slow as hell CM pairing who BOTH on yellows.

Poor Debuchy, no chance he'll take Bellerin's spot anytime soon. Glad to see Gibbs play well on the left.

Well, what this team needs is momentum and a morale boost. I know it was the COC, but hopefully beating LOLSPURS will provide a spark for the team.

Also, Flamini officially has more goals than Kane at White Hart Lane this season.

I can only imagine what the "Flamini to score twice" payout was

Ozil was the only one to put money on it. The bromance is strong.

Hands down the most entertaining and best played Arsenal game this season. And what makes me feel great is that Leicester kept coming at us and forced us to play and create.

Leicester just feed the beast of Alexis Sanchez, what a hat trick.

That Ozil ball on Alexis' 2nd goal was, in the words of Bret Bilema, orgasmic....

This game was classic Ozil. Bad touches and giveaways, but absolute world class passes to set up out first three goals. The genius pass to out of Leicester's box to start the break on Theo's goal, releasing Bellerin to flank for number 2, and the insane lob to Sanchez for number 3. I've learned to understand that he'll be patchy, but will just give that one ball that if we finish it, would change many other's perception of him and what he brings.

To me the only two people I thought had a mild performance was Mertesacker and especially Ramsey. Ramsey always looks to do more than that is needed and you can clearly see that he does not like playing on the wings, I am not sure we will ever see the Ramsey of two seasons ago but honestly we don't really need it. Ramsey just needs to stop always looking to score everytime he touches the ball in the final third, I honestly would prefer Oxlade to get the start there.

As for Mertesacker it seems like we always get caught on the counter so easily everytime he plays, obviously too slow to get back into position. He eventually settled into the match but the first 15 minutes he looked out of it. I am curious to see if Gabriel returns to the lineup as a starter next week.

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

I think Per just returned to training a week ago, and if Gabriel wasn't suspended he would've been in there, as Per hasn't had much time to get ready after several weeks out.

Not that he got faster or anything in his absence, but I'm sure part of his lack of readiness was due to not having a lot of time to get ready. And I'd rather have him in there now over Chambers, especially with how frantically Leciseter was attacking.

Which is actually why even at 1-0 I wasn't too worried, as it was clear they were always going to try and outscore instead of defend their lead, which seemed to be a rather stupid decision. Perhaps they'll have to switch it up as now they've seen they won't be able to come back into matches each week once they're facing stiffer competition.

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

Yeah, Per at times looked like he was in preseason form, but that is to be expected returning from injury.

My big hope from the match is that the floodgates open with Alexis scoring. He's had some fantastic opportunities in earlier matches that he's missed. And with the chances we have created this season, if we have someone who can get on the end of them consistently, then watch out.

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

So we now sit just 3 points back of the leaders Man Utd., and we play Man Utd. next.
