held onto the lead ! I must say it was a fantastic day today. I was very fortunate to get a great view in west stand lower right on the halfway line. It was my first derby and it delivered.
Some of the negativity on this board is somewhat surprising. I mean unless sky sports were showing a different game I thought we played amazing passing football in the first half.
Particular impressed with the hunger and desire to win the ball back. Ramires started the game with such pace , intercepting and distributing like pirlo
We were so dangerous on the right with hazard /azpi and mata interchanging and tormenting gibbs. The first goal was fantastic by mate and also Torres looked hungry and his movement to the right was just as good.
Oscar was also impressive in the first half more so , his skill and composure on the ball with the tenacity to take on sagna was great to watch.
Yes we slowed down second half and had to defend but il take it. The bridge was rocking today and we sang our hearts out. Enough of the whinging and torres this and that , lets back the team regardless of manager.
Comon you blues
p.s Ashley cole was also top draw, so many potential MOTM.
Brilliant first half performance and we

We were incredible in the first half and totally dominated their midfield. Wilshere spent the entire first half chasing the ball . They were better in the 2nd half but this is Arsenal you can't expect keeping them from creating chances.

Exactly. Carzola only got into the game in the last 20 mins and even then he wasnt allowed the time and space to work his magic.
Credit to ramires and his work rate , his interceptions were key.
Also we were making the right choices with our passing , paticulary from defence. Cahil on numerous occasions held onto the ball before playing the pass to azpi.
Basically cech - cahil - azpi and then to hazard. worked really well
