Easy 3 points for the lads. Can’t get over with Ozil’s assist. #AFCvSCFC #COYG

Shud have buried the game 6-0 or 7-0. Countless chances. Need a lot more sharpness to be title contenders. #AFCvSCFC #COYG

Decent enough performance and a well deserved win. If only we could convert some more of our chances… #Arsenal #AFCvSCFC

Could have been 6, happy with 2. Any win against those Orcs is welcome. We were very good. They were awful. #afcvscfc

It was a great match. Solid performance, too many chances. Could’ve score 4 or more but clean sheet suits me well. #Arsenal #AFCvSCFC #bpl

Still have my doubts about Theo as CF. Would love to see Alexis given a go there #AFCvSCFC #COYG #GoonerFamily
