Am I the only one watching this game ? Good Arsenal performance so far, Giroud and Cazorla VERY impressive. Podolski just scored a penalty. 0-2.

Nah I'm watching it too HotHead - all our new signings have been impressive.
Cazorla has been at the heart of everything and is pulling all the strings. Looks a class above what we had last season.
Hopefully good signs.

Unlucky Giroud !!
Good save from the keeper, excellent understanding between Walcott and Chamberlain tho. We're playing some good footie here.

Cazorla looks frikkin great already. Giroud looks god too. Podolski has been relatively anonymous - I hope we playing further inside than as wide as we are playing him at the moment.

Don't even think about it City...

Podolski now playing in the middle and .. different player completely !!! Great goal too !
this is Wenger's problem - he plays players in positions where they become anonymous. We NEED a left winger on the left, playing forwards out there is pointless. Podolski needs to be involved in the play.

Podolski's been quiet, but has two goals. Excellent ball to Gibbs from Podolski and tidy finish from the German when the left back and striker switched play.
3-0 Arsenal !!

Something for RVP to think about. Even though it is a pre season game ... you have to be impressed with the performance thus far.

Add Sahin to this squad and we would have an amazing squad selection. But hopefully this wont be another false dawn.
I think we will do relatively well up until Christmas time - then when crunch time comes, it will be interesting to see if we're mentally strong enough.
After each game we have to wrap Cazorla up in cotton wool.

If Rvp doesn't want to play with cazorla then he must be mad. The guy is a class above anything else we have in midfield.

Got to say Mertesacker at the back really does add assurance and although he is slow .... he looks very good.

Interesting ... Song is on but van Persie is left on the bench.
Weird. SAF had went to Germany with Man United but didn't attend the match with Hannover because he had 'business to sort out'.
I am hoping it's just a coincidence and is not Arsenal related....

Excellent recovery tackle from Cologne defender to deny Pod his hat trick, brilliant speed and directness from Gervinho though.

4-0 get in Gervinho!
