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.

Was concerned about them yesterday, but TV5 and poldi performed well. Poldi's all around game still pisses me off, but he can finish and we need that. By far tv5's best match at LB. maybe it was due to the competition (they generally attacked down their left through jarvis) but still good to see.

Källström was very solid. Impressive passing range. With that start and his PK, he's been worth it
