make no mistake, wigan is dominating
non stop sending crosses into the box, now thats ing
possession 65-35
chelsea seems to have no answer atm.

fab not happy? hmm.

btw, RVP ok ke? heard he injured or wad.

True, but credit to Ian Holloway for sticking with his policy. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Unluckily for him it was the latter.

I think it's better to reserve those comments until those players have actually achieved what their predecessor accomplished.



Match highlights (Arsenal 6 Blackpool 0)

Like Kim Hoong said, I think we need to put this win into context. Good win with plenty of goals. Positives can be taken from all around; Walcott with his general play and incisiveness in front of goal, Rosicky linking up well in the middle of the park, Wilshere keeping things simple and Song for retaining the kind of consistent solidness from last season.

But let's not get carried away. This is only the 2nd game of the season and without being arrogant, it's only Blackpool. The team will not win by this margin week in week out and will most likely grind out results in future games. I just hope the team takes confidence from this game and push on.

That being said, it was a very good and satisfying win.

walcot need space to run to , against team that defends deep he may be gg , may he prove me wrong this season .

diaby + wilshere = not good enough in term of providing cover to the back 4. how many time opponents counterattack went straight to song while this two person high up n the midfield. lucky blackpool attaking not that skillful and fast.

go go go gunners !

No problem, it's my pleasure to get everyone together for the sake of the team we support

Yes indeed. A satisfying win but nothing more than confidence boost and 3-points in the bag. 2 matches = 4 points is nothing to shout of actually but as long as we can keep the momentum going, we can achieve something this season. Fingers crossed

True, all sprinters or pacey players need space to run into, which is why many teams defend very deep against us (aka bus-parking).

Hopefully with stronger players like Bendtner and Chamakh, we can attack through another dimensions.

I would not put too much blame on Diaby and Wishere considering their natural positions involve little defending. Moreover, Wishere is still a very young player and there are a bunch of things for him to catch up. Diaby on the other hand, should have played more defensive since he is more experienced and physically stronger. But oh well, a natural DM like Song would be the best option, which we couldn't afford in the last match

You can see Chamakh really work hard to get his 1st Premiership goal. And van Persie almost got back to back injury. Fabregas look normal too me, i can't say he has no desire in this game because he has illness last week and not fully fit, furthermore he came as substituted player when Arsenal has slown down their tempo and play safe.

wow, how I'm glad I'm not a blackpool fan. 6-0 is a smack in the face for any team, considering they just scored 4-0 against another team last week. Well, its going to be a hard truth for them, but its a sweet deal for the Arsenal team. Hoorrahh!! So sad I couldn't watch the game in time. Watching the highlights now.

just watched the replay..walcott's goal are no fluke after all

always nice to see arsenal score big even though it's only blackpool.

For me the best goal of the day was not one of Walcott's but rather the one that Diaby scored. From Rosicky's precise pass outright to Sagna (which I though the Frenchman would not be able to reach) to Diaby to control volleyed it into the bottom corner. Neat. Tidy. Swift. Incisive. Precision. Deadly.


hahaha like Nike football advert only.... hahaha

i think i just jinx wigan
3-0 d

chelsea quality for the first 11 really far too good. Their sub can be quite sucky though but their players rarely get injury so no worries for them.

To beat Chelsea i really am pretty clueless but once the magic in the team work around we go through them hopefully

Nice interview with Walcott. You can also select Wenger's interview and Holloway's one if you hope to hear any epic comedy comments (I didn't bother).

Walcott's interview

When asked about the signings on the ball, he replied "there's probably some rude comments there"

the passes , chances is superb tonight .

Woooot! wooot!! wore my jersey tonite and damn lucky... 6 goals! ahahaha

quick review...

Theo - beginning to show his potential and blistering pace.... and now excellent finishing. keep it up. MOTM

Chamakh - hardworking! never gives up... link up well with others.

ROSICKY!!! IS BACK!!

SONG! monster.. monster! very close to be MOTM had he scored near the end. hehehe...
