absolutely CL qualifying. because more than anything, we need some roster overhauling. if we don't make the CL, that's a shite ton of income that has dried up.

We need to spend very big this summer. The big players want to play on the biggest stage. UCL qualification is paramount to Arsenal having the best possible transer window.

GUNNERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should be drinking right now..

Chelsea is hot on his tail and it looks like Inter is after Torres. Both Chelsea and Arsenal need a top striker.

Yes, I know. Yáll need to get Costa. While I´ll admit, Costa and Maureen together would be high entertainment, I still don´t want to see it.

Great fight! Beautiful second half football.

Mesut available on Sunday versus Hull and Diaby returns to training on Thursday. Great time to get some players returning.

Podolski can finish. He puts it in the back of the net. All other attributes aside (poor movement, lack of defensive effort), I think he should start from here on out.

We needed this. West Ham and big Sam in particular give us trouble. Came out and showed our class. My boy's little chheky header for Poldi's second was just awesome.

Getting him and Aaron back is huge. Our experience at qualifying gives a big advantage as well as the schedule.

4th place

Would be a great season considering the injury issue.

Ramsey looked amazing out there. You could tell the game really opened up the second he came on.

Ramsey
Theo
Mesut

Their injuries doomed any shot at the title. Getting 2 of them back will get us 4th and a trophy.

Forget Walcott and ozil. Switch Ramsey's injury record this year with Suarez's lack of one and I assert liverpool and arsenal would be basically flip flopped in the table

Suarez is the best player in the EPL. Ramsey before his injury was in the top 5 and so was Ozil. Those are crippling injuries. Wenger will get us a trophy and top 4. Martinez is close, but he doesn't have the experience... yet.

It's been said several times that he's great as the third option on a team. It shows when he has big games for us.

So refreshing to see Ramsey. There aren't many players in the world who could do what he did on the third goal. His brain, energy, and skill are special.

I have to say, Vermaelen looks much better at LB than CB.

Props to Giroud for a big goal, which made up for two bad misses earlier. I think criticism of him is harsh, and I've had mine. What he does, he does well, though Id prefer him to be more ruthless in front of goal.

Same for Arteta. Both guys are limited but play to their strengths. I hope we upgrade both in the summer but also keep both, because they each have talents we need.

Absolute class act. Giroud's tribute to the 96.

Saw a tweet after the game (maybe from gunnerblog or arseblog?) that said Podolski's 10 goals he has scored this season have come in just over 1,100 minutes played on the season. If you just consider that 90 minutes is a full game, that's 10 goals in 13 games played! Grea return I would say.

Shows just how much he gets subbed off as I think he's made well over 20 appearances this season.
