Surprised that van Persie did it. Di Canio clearly doesn't give a frick.

Watched the game on last night before going out. Ramsey had a really excellent game. Worked between the lines really well.

Our defense is really poor in general, and Mertesacker needs some time to develop some muscle, as it seems like he doesn't have the strength to deal with this league quite yet. Koscielny had the same problem last year, and this year he looks excellent. Santos is a terrible LB, and looks more out of shape than Arshavin. He's good as an attacker though. Walcott had his best game as an Arsenal player I thought. The first sitter he set up for Gervinho was a sublime ball, and that ball he set up for Van Persie was uncanny. Song had a decent game, but I thought something interesting was Vermaelean's inclusion in the game. He played as a midfielder, and I think this might be something we might see more of. He certainly has the technique to play as a DM, and he could help us there on some occasions.

I thought our D played well in the second half, but awful in the first half. Djourou, Mertesacker, and Santos all looked horrific in the opening 45, but they played pretty well the 2nd 45. Santos will be fine I think. Considering he's only ever played in Brazil and Turkey some kinks are to be expected early on. Definitely more of a winger than a LB though.

Song was solid. His piece of skill to get past Ramires then pass to Santos for the goal was top class. I've mentioned before Vermaelen should get some PT at DM, but it's never really worked out with our CB situation. Considering Kos is on fire and Wenger will likely continue to stick with Mertesacker as he gets acclimated, it might be an option now.

Agreed that Theo had one of his best games. He needed that because he had been in pretty poor form this season.

Also, RvP sent out a 4 part tweet denying his 2nd goal celebration was anything but brushing his shoulder off and pointing to the traveling fans.

I avoided all sites and humans that might mention the score until I had a chance to watch the game this afternoon. I am so glad I did that and didn't peek. What a great game and big win for the Gunners.

Yeah he did play defensive mid for his country on a number of occasions.
