So I was watching today and couldnt help but think "why the eff cant we play like this against Chelsea and ManUre?". Our midfield was cold as ice tonight, I dont know if the inclusion of Cesc back into the team adds a spark to everyones game, but man they were lights out.

Nasri's touch on that second goal was stupid. So deft, so soft, and then a rocket. He is genius.

JDub got on the score sheet, that made my day and a hell of a one-two it was, he controlled it well and slotted ever so gently, beautiful.

Seeing Dudu back on the pitch was hard to take. Like Phelan said, he was well on his way to being one of the Arsenal greats. After that horrific injury, he just never seemed to have the pace that he once had and was afraid to go all out into challenges. I respect AW's decision but it was great to see him back on the scoresheet and to get the ovation he did.

Two things I took from today: Jacky is going to be one of the England greats. Hes a freakin kid and plays like a midfielder in the prime of their career, so entertaining to watch. And two, Cesc is a game changer, I dont care how you cut it, the mood of the team changes when he plays, they attack more, play more accurate balls, and above all else, score goals. Great game, i'm ready to have Theo back now.
