Robin Van Persie to the bench on this rainy day at Old Trafford, Sir Alex explains the boy could've drowned.

 

[Bevab]

That was nice man.

Seems like Spurs are getting some comeback powers too. And Adebayor.

 

[Epic]

What a performance that! Best of the season I'd say, real team effort, everyone knew their role and worked at it well(even after we went down to 10 men, thanks to Nasri ).

Man of the Match: Yaya Toure.

 

[Haarithan]

No way, Aguero by a country mile imo

 

[Epic]

Really, idk, I thought he should've scored more for the chances created for him and by him, misses don't go too well with me.

 

[El Loco]

Villa = Relegation fodder God help us.

Well he consistently wreaked havoc on the Norwich backline, plus assisted and scored one as well. His best outing yet from what I've seen.

Eh, true, but Idk, I felt Toure controlled the midfield well(bit like last season).

What a performance from Arsenal and Walcott in particular, absolutely killed Newcastle, sign him up sing the Arsenal fans... All in Walcott's hands now.

Newcastle, sign him up sing the Arsenal fans... All in Walcott's hands now.

Ye he has looked very good in the games he has played as striker to date. Just needs to do it now when arsenal plays a real strong team & it will be great news for the gunners & england especially.

 

[Haarithan]

What a performance from Walcott! Anyway the talking point would be his 'Lap of Honour' following that win - was he doing that either a) for his performance on the night or b) bidding farewell to the Gooner faithful?

Personally feel it's the latter.

 

[Epic]

All these performances do nothing more than give more power to Walcott in this transfer/contract saga, he has the keys to the treasure now, certainly not a position Wenger wanted to be in for sure.

Then again, Wenger has no one to blame but himself, all this should've been sorted 2 years ago(summer of '11), but nope, it wasn't and now they're paying for it...

What a game at Carrow Road! It was such an entertaining game to watch - but that near post mistake by the Norwich keeper, that was terrible.

Still, we won as well, so it matters not - and what a goal by RvP.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

Sort of impressive win for chelsea there.

They didn't play well or deserve it, and we had something of a makeshift side out but it's a hard place to come and win and we played really well for parts of the game.

I think a draw was probably the fairest result of the three with us deserving a win more than than did, but at 1-0 we were the better side still and probably deserved to go 2-0 up more than chelsea deserved to equalise, but once they did they played well. Bit annoying that we had 2 good chances right before the 2nd but with the side we had out and the way chelsea had played over the last couple of games i feared the worst, pleasantly surprised at the level of performance. If only we could defend.

 

[Lee1981]

Good win today, never an easy place to go and get a result

And looks like we may be getting Ba, would be a great signing

If he leaves Gunners i'll be stunned really. At this stage listening to him & arsene at interviews it seems like something may be worked out.
