Wn required!

3-1 but we were never in doubt, just a touch sloppy. It wasn't our best eleven to start but more than good enough to win the game. Nice goals from Theo, Ozil & Rosicky - enough to get us into the draw for round 5 tomorrow!

Played golf today so missed the game. Sounds like a frantic last 15 minutes after they scored their second.
Did you leave early, jpr?

It's the old slippery-keys syndrome

My nephew (also a Gooner) who lives in Hove reckons it'll be a walkover but my memory is long enough to remember losing to the buggers in the cup (many years ago, I think it was Jim Furnell's last game in goal for The Arsenal) - still, yes, we should have enough to win. The return of Ozil and, perhaps Walcott plus some tweaking in defence (?), I dunno, but we've gotta do the job. Come on Arsenal!

Ooops! My mistake. Jim Furnell's exit was after a poor game against Birmingham in the cup. Sorry Tilts - Birmingham, Brighton - hey what's the difference (aside from a couple of hundred miles, an unpleasant accent and a certain level of homosexuality, eh)?

Still, Come On Arsenal!

Yes, we ended his career. Even in the olden days we were breaking Arsenal's hearts.

That Tilton sure knows his stuff. Now will you accept that what I've been telling you is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Self praise is no praise.

So now it's Aston Villa chez nous - now that's one we can win, even if the Villa will be looking to pose problems. Let's keep this ball rolling - come on Arsenal!

Up the Arse

A much-appreciated 5-0 against a poor Villa side - still, I've seen games where we should've scored five but only managed one, so we're going in the right direction (and we didn't have top-scorer Alexis in the team.....). Next game is against The Spuds. Now that would be a nice one to score five in!

Yes, a good performance against a Villa side intent on committing Hari Kari.
I was really impressed with Coquelin again and the young Spaniard Bellerin is making excellent progress, very quick, good in the tackle and able to whip in a great cross.
The game against the Spuds comes at a good time and will give us a marker as to how we stand as a team.
Both teams playing well, it should be highly competitive. Obviously I'm hoping we will prevail, we'll see.

I am surprised you gooners arent putting that win down to pure luck... Seems to me you were playing the Girl Guides

Nah, that's next week Frenchie, at your place

Its going to be a good game I think...

It certainly has the makings of a good match.......you've got Harry Kane, we've got Alexis Sanchez, you've got Eriksson, we've got Ozil - nah, I fink we'll win!

and you keep on thinking that

Or I can think Santi Cazorla, or Theo, or Giroud....the thinking goes on.

I certainly appreciated it

Shame - Alexis is not ready for the Sunday game - OK Tottingham, that's as much luck as you're gonna get in this one!

Well done Tottingham, I suppose. We didn't play well - sat way too deep from early in the first half without breaking - but I never thought we'd lose. I wasn't happy when it was 1-1 - a draw being not good enough, then up pops HurriKane with a very good header to seal the win for Tottingham. How did that happen?!
I've been receiving e-mails of condolence this morning from right, left & centre. Still, all short-term innit? We've got a game on Tuesday which we will win so we'll be back. Come on Arsenal!

Pffft... I think you played just like normal... YOu were just out played. Good luck on Tuesday

I am, of course, gutted.
I am, of course, pleased to allow Frenchie a moment of ecstasy.
Even if it is through gritted teeth.
