FT Stats Sunderland v Arsenal Shots 14-19 On target 5-8, Fouls 6-14 Duels Won 47%-53%, Pass Accuracy 77%-85%, Possession 38%-62%

just like to say get in the Posh, beating our local ribals leicester and messing up there promotion push as well as being a win that could help peterborough stay up.

This team now reminds of the 2002/3 teams. We used to get reduced to 10 so many times but always still won.

Vieira/Gilby/Romford Pele

Arteta was excellent in midfield as well.

Wasn't it sometimes down to 9 jenius?

Only bad thing Giroud did today was not passing it to Caz or Diaby other than that we worked his socks off for us and plays his heart out when he puts on the shirt.

When was the last time we bought someone who does that for us?

I can't think of anyone who had a bad performance. Even Jenks had a good game apart from those 2 tackles.

Diaby did well when he came on, Ramsey filled in well at RB and Theo was unlucky to hit the post.

The only negative I have is the shocking performance from the ref, he allowed far too many fouls to go unpunished - particularly when committed by a Sunderland player

Diaby did well when he came on, Ramsey filled in well at RB and Theo was unlucky to hit the post.

Diaby was awful coming on.

Hope Wilshere isn't injured to miss any games. We need him so badly it's unbelievable

Good defending and 1-0 to the Arsenal.

George Graham will be back next.

Aaron Ramsey made six tackles today, more than any other player on the pitch

Bacary Sagna with a game-high 14 defensive clearances.

the guys played their hearts out and didn't give up! If only we played like that for every game!

Can someone please say what happened with Jack? I missed it.

I saw him walk off, looked OK, kinda hobbling a little but I don't know what actually happened....

Diaby defended exceptionally well and for once he didn't dwell on the ball too longin midfield and give up possession

GT, did you see how many headers and blocks Diaby did in our box?! he was great in defence. stop your mindless hating of him

Yeah Pete but he could have kept the ball better in midfield to calm things down. He looks not fit to me.

Giroud had an off game - his decision making and positioning was terrible.

His inconsistency is one of the reasons Wenger was looking for a striker.

I still rate him, but we would be foolish to rely on him.

Verm they were kicking him into kingdom come,then he came off, but I don't think he's that injured!

What was you left side up to? Monreal poor, but who were the midfielder and CB supposed to be helping him?

Best defensive performance in a long long time.

People forget that's it's Giroud's first season!

I thought Diaby played very well personally.

As soon as Wilshere hit the floor he signalled to come off. He knew straight away so we will have to wait and see.

Stephane Sessegnon had a 100% pass completion - always seems to play well against us. Monreal best for Arsenal with 96%
