@ Bill - don't start thinking Arteta is great just because he scored against west brom today. It's a sign that Arsenal are not the team they used to be that they only scored three against the shittest team in the league at the moment.

@ Marco - please swap Jol for Hodgson

Sad times for the baggies. they had nothing and never looked like they wanted to get anything. It's tough on a team playing with nothing up front, and you missed two top players, when you put a foot on the ball the passing and movement was nice, but you so clearly lacked any real clever movement up front and the final ball just went into space..

the big disappointment was the lack of fight, The Arsenal were given too much time. thats not good enough at this level really.

Arsenal only scored three but controlled the game, defended well in numbers and Super Tom/Lauren is by far away the best CB pairing. they are great. Jenkinson was great for us, can you believe he only played 16 professional games (these include playing for Welling City!) before he stepped out at Old Trafford. now look at him! What a great player, clever on the ball, good passer, good going forward.. love him

Arteta is alright, sits far deeper for us - between Song and Ramsey - than he did for Everton so taking time to adjust but he tidys up well. When Jack gets back i can't see him in the starting team, apart from when Ramsey needs a break or the lion that is Song gets suspended.. which is inevitable.

Liverpool... ha ha haha
