3 league games in a row that have been stressful. Liverpool one last week I was fuming with the late equaliser. But at least today and Boxing day been able to get the job done. I wish we could learn to put games to bed rather then make things very nervy and stressful.

we sealed the game by parking the bus

Only 12 points behind chelsea!! treble is on

well...shouldnt do that because is not healthy for most of the fans

For all those wondering about Tony Gale's superbly unbiased commentary, just remember he made 300 appearances for West Ham in the 80s

Are you for real? Often get criticised for not parking it, and now we do...great tactics from Wenger I must say

some people will find anything to complain about. moaning about defending against west ham. the same people moaning probably predicted a loss today

the top four all drew

Great win. The sooner we get Arteta, Ramsey and Wilshere back in midfield, the better. We can't control the midfield like we used to. Our average possession over the past month has seen a huge decline. Also many thanks to Giroud for robbing us of an important body upfront for 3 games.

ffs its only west ham, theyve only beaten people like Man City this season, why are we defending against them

We are the only team in the top 7 to pick up 3 points today, with 8th and 9th place not playing

Even with those in the team, Arsenal haven't really looked great at possession football. This new style is the way forward, suits everyone especially the forwards

Does anyone else think Walcott hasn't fully recovered and Wenger doesn't want to risk him in a tight match?

Everyone wants walcott back, doesn't mean he should just be brought in to play for the sake of it

Walcott would probably come on in a match that is secured ie a 3-0 lead. Too risky too put him in a high intensity match like today and QPR

No-one's saying he should be brought on for the sake of it; the argument is that he should be brought on to provide us with pace with which to counter-attack the opposition and/or pin them back, as well as the defensive tracking/pressing that he could provide with his pace and energy.

we needed to defend, long gone are the days of arsenal just outscoring everyone

And Walcott could have helped with that.

How is Walcott going to get back to fitness and become match sharp if he doesn't get any minutes?

instead he brought on deenders to help defending...what an idiot

Walcott will start against Hull, I doubt we ll see much of him before then
