From what I saw that game, the problem is not at all buying new or better players. We have a strong team. On rare occassions we've seen them play to their potential. I assume that Wenger is a great tactician and motivator so I was puzzled as to why we've played these 4 games below par. I honestly cant remember the last time we played a full 90 minutes.

Not too sure about the great tactician part.
I'm aware that we came back against Villa the other day, but most of the time they just seem to play the same game the whole time now and don't adapt to who they're playing, and the way they [opposition] are playing. I can only assume that he must have had a tough word with the team last Sunday and they put more effort into the way they were playing. If that was the case, they just put more effort in and didn't necessarily change the way they were playing tactically.

Arsenal are on it today!!!

From what I see, whenever walcott is on his game, the whole team does well. He's my MOTM. followed closely by RVP, Ox, song, then Coq.
I would like to see RVP rested though. I felt he couldve come off after 65~


Btw, did they change the rules so now it is 10 yellows before a suspension?

[Nitey]

Not sure about the rule change. I agree RvP should have been subbed, probably when he scored his hat-trick which was around 61st minute

Without sounding like too much of a dick, I was glad Ramsey got dropped for Rozza. Ive been wanting Rosicky to start a game for a while (alongside Song and Arteta), he's much more dynamic than any other players we have in that position atm. He's actually looked quite good from his few appearences this season. Our attacks weren't criminally slowed down or straight up killed with Rozza orchestrating things in the middle, unlike how a lot of it goes with Ramsey. Okay I'm gonna stop now, I actually like Ramsey but I'm afraid I look like a hater right now xD

Everyone played well today, and Henry scoring in the league was just lovely

Feels good after recent results! Lovin' it

or maybe when everyone else is doing well, he doesn't suck

after the new year, 5 yellows becomes 10 yellows.

thanks shibby, i would rep you but it wont let me. Does the yellow card count extend only until the end of the season or until the end of the calendar year? and only EPL yellow cards count, right?

end of the season. start of each season you can get 5 yellows before you're suspended and it becomes 10 in the new year. and i think (but not entirely sure) that it's all domestic matches, so EPL, FA cup, and Carling cup.

omg what a game vs blackburn.... my first live experience of the arsenal.... what a treat! everything about it felt special from the first moment i saw the stadium, to the legends statues, the pictures of legends on comments on the walls of the stadiums, the benches, the team pictures of every arsenal team that played at the old highbury ground.... the whole experience was immense and to top it all i finally get to see a thierry henry goal!!! couldn't have been much better.

You were there? You lucky guy!

[dc89]

Apparently that's next seasons Arsenal home shirt.

[DINAMO788]

i saw that....ugggglyyyyyyy with the black sleeves and collar

[Molo316]

Surely that can't be right!

The black collar makes it look like Man Utd.

[yourmumsface17]

Yeah if you take the sleeves out it could easily be a United shirt.

[Molo316]

'ang about! After just looking over it again it clearly looks like a fake.
The sleeves are much too long, and if you take the white and the black trims away you get the exact sleeves of our shirt last season, and those sleeves were relatively short. And of course, the collar could have just been changed in Photoshop or something.

It looks to me that it's just last season's shirt... but screwed up.

[nickrobbins]

Apologies for not posting sooner (damn work commitments!!!) but yeah I was there was an absolute joy to be there in person, it's an experience everyone should get to do because the stadium is such a special place it's just a damn shame the team hasn't been up to scratch with the history of the club otherwise I can guarantee that place would be even more special then it already is..... I have pics if anyone wants them posting not too many while the game was played due to being to entertained by the game but warm ups and the stadium surroundings I have

[yourmumsface17]

Henry....

Is this his last game? What a player.

[fdny21]

Henry....

Is this his last game? What a player.

He has one more game with Arsenal but that was his last Premier League game.

[Nitey]

What a player! What a result! I'm so so happy with these points..We desperately needed 'em

/hail Arsene for the subs, they actually worked I'm so happy for Henry, it's like a fairytale. Yeah it's his last game in England, he'll travel out with the squad to Milan on Wednesday

What a way to go....I love you Thierry. Missed him like mad when he went last time. I'm gonna feel just as bad when he goes again

[DangerousMali]

Henry, what a player, that's why his got a statue outside folks

He just gives and gives for this club time and time again, wonderful end to his premier league career.

[jj03]

massive applause for henry...what a fantastic player and person. he IS arsenal through and through. i will miss him.

The dude abides....

[Nitey]

The Scum are already 4-0 up against Newcastle so that should ensure we remain 4th (just about!).

Things can change so dramitically in this league, it never fails to entertain. Liverpool, Chelsea and what looks like Newcastle all losing this weekend and Arsenal grabbing a late late winner via King Henry secures us 4th after we looked completely out of it couple weeks ago. Not good for the heart, mind you, but I love it

Not looking forward to next weekend's game against Sunderland again, they'll be after revenge and we'll be without the King AND coming off the back of what will probably be a real tough game against Milan. Out of two games against them though, winning today's one was much more vital than the FA Cup tie

[Nitey]

Thierry Henry, Arsenal's match-winner against Sunderland in what could be his farewell appearance for the Gunners:

"When you come on as sub you want to help your team and change the game. The guy who scores gets the credit but the cross from Andrey Arshavin was perfect. I know it was the last game in the Premier League and I wanted to say thanks. You can never say never (about whether it was his last game). I felt just like a kid who scores his first goal for the team he loves. If Arsenal need some help one day I will be around."
