win against manu as all our rivals

in the end 3 pta came
home.Now about
match this game shows exactly the importance of having a player like giroud u just see the impact of giroud against bottom half teams so both giroud and wallcott are necessary depending on opponenets also ozil had a very good game glad that Rambo scores now come on u Bavarians just please
home supporters please make arsenal a fortress like Highbury rest our players will se interesting times ahead

home is just plain disgraceful and whatever happens next does not
in any way mitigate against that.....
