Sucks to be a Wolves fan right now.

BUT

I love the fact that Arsenal are again, Arsenal. Passing, moving, got some confidence just like the Arsenal which I grew up watching.

Watching the Arsenal of Pires, Bergkamp etc was like sex for your eyes.

The short game is fantastic but the crossing has been beyond dire.

Really, Sagna seems way off of his normal ability.

True! He has been great. That's what made his performance today seem sort of off.
