That was superb from Martinelli!

Clever from Tross too. 1-0 at last.

2 great finished. And Leo's goggle celebration's back. I'm so chuffed. He's had a pay-rise to be happy being an option from the bench, and he's always been the best at making an impact as a sub.

So he's now happy to have that squad role. Him and Gabby too. I think he knows we're more likely to win if we have a team good enough to have him coming off the bench. Now we've got 2 world class players for every position, he gets that we're not gonna have a fixed starting XI and everyone is playing for their place, not just him and Gabby.

Who was the clown on here saying Martinelli should play up front?

I received a reprimand in an Irish pub in tenerife for celebrating that goal

So clever from trossard

What? You're in an Irish boozer in Tenerife?

Gabby's goal was a great striker's goal. But for the second it was great wing play. Him and Leo would make a great, old skool front two.

What are you doing in Tenerife?

About 20 years ago, the glw's {now late} dad took us two, her two sisters, and their 4 kids to Mallorca in December for a cheap package holiday. One afternoon they were all going for kareoke which I hate but there was an Arsenal game on.

I found a bar and asked if I could watch us, he had a look and said "No Spanish teams playing at this time so fine, I'll put it on for you."

At HT, the glw comes and finds us to make sure I'm alright. I say I'm great, we're winning, have you got time for a drink? She says go on, then. Order the drinks and when he gives them to us, I ask how much. He says it's free.

I say thank you, but ask why? He says because in the 20-odd years I've had this bar, you're the first Brit who's spoken to me in Spanish.

Arsenal win, free drinks and avoided the kareoke. Touch.

Well, i got talked at by an Irish prison officer throughout the game telling me his ****ing life story and about how I should be banging the woman I was with.

Fat prick wouldn't shut up.

I think he was a bit lucky with the second touch which put him through, truth be told.

I thought he ****ed up the first touch slightly but the second was perfect

Oh it was good. What I'm trying to say is that it appeared to be more by luck than judgement.

Still in that sort of situation he's probably our player you want there the most.

If you want to be picky, it was actually a pretty **** finish.....

He would probably tell you that it's hardest if you put it close to the keeper. But yes - I agree.

[PSRB]

Disagree, hard and low, very close to the keeper, so impossible to get down to it. Also think the keeper is expecting him to bend it round him. Safe option, 36 seconds after coming on

It's not what Ian Wright would have done.

Surely we can all agree that is the bar we're aiming for.....
