re: Arsenal 2013/2014 Season Long Thread

Some thoughts.

That game was incredible. I'm sure for the neutral it was probably a lot of fun. I was relieved it was over and that we could finally move on from this idiotic trophy drought. Also it made me happy that Wenger was happy. It's been a tough nine years but it seems a very good thing that the year we decide to spend money we win a cup. Hopefully that means more spending.

Thank you Santi Cazorla. You saved my life.

I swear Wynalda thought Sanogo was the second coming but Yaya proves the value of someone who can run beyond the CB's. His movement was very good. His touch in general wasn't, and he's a clumsy arse player. If he was a little crisper with his touches we might have scored earlier.In general I thought we didn't play all that well until Sanogo came on. Suddenly we had more space.

The beginning of this game reminded me of the 'Pool game, and I thought we were going to be fricked. The fact that Santi scored early helped us retain our shape which usually goes to shite when we are chasing a lead.

We had a good fight back though we were wasteful with our chances and I think it's a testament to our depth that Wilshere and Rosicky came on so late, and had an impact in quickening the game. Wilshere had the key pass in the Ramsey goal, with an entry ball to Sanogo that he sort of controlled, somehow getting it to Giroud who did a wonderful backheel to Ramsey whose finish was so precise it was almost unbelievable.

I swear to god I thought I was going to die when I saw Fabianski come out. Christ that nearly killed me.
