Okay, so I called the end of our shutout streak, and I said it would be via a disappointing goal. Other than that - no.
Six goals in a free scoring performance? No.
Two for Gervinho? Definitely no.
Making the job incredibly easy for ourselves? No way.
I know we are only four games in, but this really does look like a team that has turned a corner, in every area of the field. All we need to do is buy Giroud a goal or two and we're laughing.
This last point is particularly important, as even Jos Hooiveld and Nathan Clyne have managed something Giroud hasn't - to score a goal for Arsenal. His confidence must be dwindling with each game. He just needs a gimme, and once he has it I'm sure he will be just fine.
Apart from that, what we've had so far has been refreshingly impressive, and long may it continue.
I didn't see it coming

I'm currently struggling to download highlights/match as I missed it....
So what happened to Szczesny? Was he as bad as everyone made out? Was he just rusty from his time out?
Is Mannone going to be challenging for the number 1 shirt?

I predicted a 7-1 win in the game on here
Also bet on 7-1 with Pods first goal at 375/1
Why didn't we get another goal

Apparently Szczesny came for a cross, didn't call for it, collided with Jenkinson and dropped it to Fox who scored. It's not the first time he's made this particular mistake.

Szczesny looked as if he was still bothered by the injury. Shouldn't have put him in if he wasn't 100%.

There was no collision, tbf. Szczesny held back a bit to avoid a collision, and was a bit tentative.

Giroud just needs some luck or help. If Vermealen had squared it instead of shooting for the 6th Giroud had an easy tap in. He was also unlucky that the goalies save didnt fall for him, he was in a great position.

this was on the cards, we always have it in us to hand out utter spankings.
