What they’ve said
Arsene Wenger
"If you ask me will we sell Theo in January? No," he said emphatically.
His expression was undeniably hacked off. His irritation on the subject was obvious. "I am frustrated, honestly," he went on. "I have always been hopeful he will sign.
"Between the player and me it is all clear, he knows what he wants and he has to make up his mind. The negotiations have been going on a long, long time." With six months left to go before Walcott will be a free agent, and the player holding out for a wage beyond the club's valuation, the situation remains sticky.

WBA looked average, I think they will begin to drop down the table

I didn't watch the match. Was this win a fluke or we actually worked hard for it?
We dominated the game and should have scored more. Very deserved win Banega. We scored from a penalty. It was a dive from Santi. Second goal was a penalty too. Ox was fouled. Penalty justified.

no fluke at all, we worked hard, pass well with intent, fought, our finishing upfront was awful though but got help from two pens!

I think arteta said that they've had extra training sessions, looking at video analysis but Wenger tried to deny it!
