90 the amount of minutes we didn’t need rvp today.
no thumbs down since you are first but i gladly dish them out for any short form for non arsenal names like JT, steve g, wazza, RVP.
No point writing that cunt’s name in full though. He’s not worth the effort.
Infinity – the number of times rvp can fuck rite off. I really mean this.
69 the number of times I touched myself, watching as cazorla DICKtated the play.
Fuck rvp, I don’t want to hear another word about the cunt, especially when we get the 3 points.
I loved watching the gooners today, didn’t deserve to concede either. I think we should all make it a gooner public holiday the day the BFG scores his first goal. You could tell he was desperate to get on the score sheet for us tonight
1- No of cunts who disliked your post.
I notice this with RVP and Podolski.
RVP, when tackled or fouled, went on complaining to the referee, or sulked.
Podolski, when tackled or fouled went on playing and went to tackle back and just tried to get the ball back. What is more, I saw how happy he is playing for Arsenal. I did not see that kind of happiness in RVP’s face (and also in Cesc’s face) some months before he was actually transferred out.
Can we just admire at how amazing our defence is right now? Not a single mistake from anyone all game long. Mertesacker keeping Kos out of the team shows how much of a world class player he is. Jenkinson is efficient.
And Poldi is just lovable isn’t he? He was just unplayable in the first half. Absolute class.
It actually freaks me out a little when I see us give the ball to the opposition and then our entire defence holds it shape and we simply clear it when the opponent inevitably gets caught in possession, it just doesn’t seem right and If it wasn’t for the occasional lapse in concentration I’d be truly confused as to whether this was Arsenal or not.
Interesting to see Jenkinson’s stats, I guess it would be due to So’ton not putting as much pressure down their left but shows he’s improving every match and long may it continue.
Jenks had an almighty game today. Dealt with anything Southampton threw at him, was strong in the tackle and always looked to bomb forward.
I like him.
Yeah, I agree with the Swiveller. Jenks looked great today. He was solid in defense and at least moderately clever in attack. I felt very happy for him & for us Gooners during the game.
0-number of cazorla-like players in the league.
He’s right up there………..all alone.
Interesting how we are letting teams have much more possession now
I`m going to come out with it if no-one will say it.
Bould OUT NOW!
we had so many direct players. Wenger said before the match that Soton might park it , I think we should apply this tactic against ALL bus packers
That particular bus parking team will be filled with mighty cunts I tell ya. Chelsea.
Good thing we have le coq so he can squeeze through them
We need a strategy to deal with teams that park the bus since forever, so I was really excited to see quick first-touch passes with the likes of Podolski, Gibbs and Coq providing options down the sides, specially on the left. I think our directness was definitely responsible for the scoreline and for the lower possession!
On the BBC, they said we had 70% possession. Now I know they also had said Sahin was on his way, but it’s interesting to see such a large discrepancy. Unless it was a typo.
We only have two OGs
Szcz needs to be more careful, especially as there seems to be competition for his spot. Anyways, good game by the team – 3 points and 6 goals – a wonderful way to return from the interlull. Bring on Shitty!
Great numbers, as always. Love the Rooney references but bet the 2012/13 number does not stay the same, sadly.
I think Carzola and Podolski could be the combination signings of the season. They just seem on each others wavelength, and they both work so hard for the team.
Great players do not need to cost £30m!
Yeah we beat the worst team in the league 6-1, the same team that scored 2 goals against man U and would have beat them without rvp.
Some douche bags out there!.

BEST. STATS. EVER!
I mean EVER.STATS.BEST!
I would absolutely love this stat but he assisted two goals this evening.
Cazorla doesn’t need comparing to Cesc though. he, is not a new cesc or a better Cesc, He is just Santi and there is one of a kind.
So Cesc has two assists in six months. Wow! This is the kind of thinking that gives everyone the freedom to trash Chamakh for not scoring even though he is not playing. What I liked was that neither of Cesc’s assists were gimme Assists, which is what you get when you pass to Messi. That said, I bet Reading or Southhampton could rip Getafe a new one, so I’m not impressed. Point is: you have to play, and play in a side that suits you. It is not inconceivable that Cazorla is more direct and a better fit for Arsenal… Read more »
I think Wenger concluded that Arsenal could only be a success if we stopped using the sole focal point of attack approach — we now have a more varied attack. We have tended to be a team that develops a reliance on one player for some years now…. Henry, Rude Van Nistlepursey, even Fabregas to an extent. I imagine that we may be about to develop a reliance on Cazorla, but I think that it will not become restricting as our former one-man reliances did. Firstly, I think this is because Cazorla has a wider overall spread of skills than… Read more »
not to be a dick or anything, but today Cesc played one of his patented lofted balls over the top and Villa scored
When did Cesc sign for Villa?
Is Villa back from his leg break?
Cesc assisted Barclays first goal last night. H also assisted soldado goal fo Spain a week ago.
Have you ever thought about giving match ratings for our players Blogs?
Would love to read your in-depth comments about individual performances after a game.
ArseStat. Its fuckin’ accurate.
Go for it blogs.
Also make sure you split the stories for each player into little tabulations as we can`t get the big picture from your intricate prose. It is so so confusing 🙁
Please?
I write these. I will consider all requests
Well, it’s Tim who does these columns. We might consider them for match reports but they’re unlikely to be in-depth.
Pictured: Lukas Podolski riding an invisible bear.
Off topic… By any chance is there anyone in the detroit/ann arbor michigan area that watches matches? Having trouble finding a good bar that has any fans (that are not pool supporters… Which is getting sad to watch)
Seemed like every street sucked today, hopefully there will be a replay.
How bad was chezzer’s drop?
Nice to see $hitty and chavs drop points too
Yeah, same here. I just moved to Rochester, MI. Arsenal’s website has listed Hamlin Pub in Rochester Hills as a venue to watch arsenal matches but they open at around 11 am. So never been there but if there is a match after 11 am, I’m definitely planning to go and watch there.
where am from, it’s fun watching all matches with the pool fans these days
I watched a game last year in pub with a Liverpool fan and he had the nerve to tell me it was time for Wenger to go, since he hadn’t won anything in a long time…I am not sympathetic to their plight.
“…..a Liverpool fan and he had the nerve to tell me…..”
Well, either that or it was actually someone from Le Grove in disguise…..
The most eye-popping stat is that Gervinho is almost as efficient as Poldoski in front of the goal. I never could have imagined such a thing.
I too was surprised by his efficiency.
Arteta Rocks!
Carzola Rules!!
And podolski is king!!!
and Verminator kills!!!!!
5 – number of “oh fuck” moments schezzers gave me today.
2-number of CUNTS that did not get a handshake from A. Ferdinand at Loftus Road today.
Terry was like, Pleaseeeeeeeee shake my hand be my best friend…. 🙂
Football frieeeeeend?
Wow, quick after the game awaome stats, sad that I didnt get to watch the game today but absolutely happy at the result, bipolarism at its best
Let’s go for another invincibles then.
Just the 34 games to go.No problem
3 – number of times that CAZORLA was called carzola on here tonight,seriously,show some respect and spell it right…=)
Number of times I spelt Crazola right — 3
You see how if we get good results we dont really have to worry about the other shitty teams progress. Right now it’s all about the arses progress, I will not care how other teams do just concertrate with my arse. Last season we had to worry alot about “how did chelsea go, eh?, did totts draw? I bet united lost”
On to the next one.!
I miss Kos the Boss!
Me, too. Me, too! But on the other hand isn’t it utterly brilliant that our best defender can sit on the bench and we are still looking mighty great in defence?
I Am fucking Amazing
That is all
Arteta’s pass for the third was also beautiful!!
Spanish midfielders rule
I think they said that song is the only one who can chip.
And I asked song who?
You do realise how mighty great santi cazorla has been for us. Everything that comes out of my santi cazorla mouth seems to want to praise santi cazorla alil bit more. Santi cazorla is doing wonders guys, did I mention santi cazorla?…….well ofcourse I did it’s up there betwen all those other santi cazorlas
Santi cazorla?
It’s truly incredible. The blue mancs got Silva, the Chavs got Mata and we got Cazorla from the bargain bin and it turns out he’s the best of the lot! Oh Santi!
I think Silva is the best followed by Santi b4 the chav dude
1.Cazorla…….
…..there’s no 2 because he’s fucking santi cazorla!!!.
…..3. Silva
…….4. Mata
Then afer that really I dont give a shit.
Yeah and the best thing about him is that always wants arsenal to be with the possesion. You could see him running to the goalie and pressuring him to release the ball every time without fail, I especially admire this in him
And once he gets the ball on his feet just step away from that spanish fella, he’ll do you my friend, oh he’ll do you goooood.
Oh to have a santi in my team!.
1- number of ‘Cygan’s left foot’ not making any retarded comment today. Yay!
My foot’s in rehab, take it easy on me.
Two own goals for us today looks like we got own goal from Manu in the deal for rvp as well as 24m.
ya but they still have the penalty thing going for em… seems red nose is a running a diving institute.
I dont know who to talk about…
Cazorla?
Podolski?
Diaby?
Arteta?
Gervinho?
… Don’t u just love it!!!
How bout sczezny? He looked alumniaed in this game…just sayin..
I imagine Koscielny will play midweek giving Mertesacker a rest. They should be able to win in Montpellier even with some rotated players. Even rest this early in the season is vital!
6 the number of time we dont need rvp
1 the number who still make us best defence in the PL

Arteta – man of the match!
10th – Longest start to a Premier League season without conceding a goal
Who makes up the rest of the top 10?
Brilliant! The group of players we have now are so likable! They work so hard and that’s what any fan wants to see..they seem so much more of a tight knit group as well..genuinely like each other..oh how I love the arsenal!!!
And not ONE riduculous hair cut on display! Brilliant!!
I think Gervinho might have something to say about that… Jenko also had a bit of a lesbian trucker thing going on
yeah Jenks needs to take his hair to one side and have a quiet word with it. it’s becoming joey barton-esque
Lesbian trucker thing…now thats some funny shit..its true though…i’ve seen them at rest stops on the interstates…kicking a ball around, getting all worked up…then off to the rig…and they all look just like jenks…
Gervinho’s hair isnt ridiculous?
I’d say it’s the l a c k of hair on his forhead that needs looking to.
But who cares what haircut they have as long as we crush the opposition.
What I worried about is not Gervinho hair cut. But, have we tested with oposition score first and then we can finaly win the game?
Podolski rides his invisible horse to victory.
So the little boy inside you screamed ‘Manchester United?
FUCK OFF YOU BASTARD !
Arsenal FC, We score WHEN WE WANT
I just love the comments guys. COYG
Arsenal have the best GD in the league currently. That’s kinda delicious too.
I don’t like it here. This bench is hard, its freezing cold and my finger smells of fergies bum.
hahahaha
nice one mate
I was working yesterday so I’ve only just seen the game. It was fantastic watching us play like we used to and really demolish the opposition. For me, Gervinho was a revelation: I loved the confident way that he took his first goal – why can’t he be so clinical more often? And the Poldolski free-kick was pure class. I bet Giroud was really pissed off that he didn’t start – he could have bagged himself a hat-trick. Again, we defended really well – it’s becoming a bad habit! – except for that bad piece of goalkeeping that led to… Read more »

1- amazing goal by the king http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfDezLtZW80
Lukas Podolski’s pass completion rate hit a baffling 100% against Soton. He has put all of his 31 passes right during the 75 minutes he spent on the pitch as an AML. His passing precision is all the more impressive to me considering his position on the left flank of Arsenal’s attacking lineup. Off course credit must go to the teammates on the receiving end of his passes, mainly Santi, Gerv, Gibbs and the Coq for their good first touch, which allowed for this amazing stat. I wonder why Qq has not made a bigger fuss of it, especially when… Read more »
