And with this scoreline the boss makes early subs and gives a bit of rest to Sanchez, Ramsey & Lacazette. I wonder if he'll tempt his fate and start the same XI on Saturday? Anyway, ironic that this day NBC decides to go all Gold on us. A bunch of American fans missed out on a good show. I was lucky to catch that amazing 5 minute stretch on my good Russian stream, which finally started working again. All we need now to complete a stellar evening is for Swans, Soton or Stoke to equalize. Come on you!
5-0!!!!! Giroud with a brace. After we just toyed with their defense. In one fell swoop we've brought our GD back in line with our close rivals.
A few lucky 7's... 7 shots-on (to their 2) 70% possession I think there's one more but it slips my mind. We hold onto 4th, and Spurs now show up in our rear view mirror. Onward!!!

Today was great. My take away is that our defense is actually pretty stellar currently. Yes, HT had a couple of breakaway chances but in the end we smothered them. A good (feel good) win. Was a bit surprised by the strength of the lineup we fielded (rotation and all). Saturday will be interesting. It's more than winnable. We have to show up...simple as that.
Just finished watching the match from a dodgy website that I found on Reddit. I was pleased to have Martin Tyler as the announcer. I'm glad I was patient with the poor video feed. That second half was excellent. Huddersfield seemed to drop their heads after the second goal. It was nice to see Arsenal pushing for more goals all the way to the end of the game. The only slight criticism was in the first half Arsenal played a lot of sloppy passes in their own half. I guess since it was only Huddersfield they weren't too concerned with conceding.
Arsenal were playing FIFA last night with those goals Although Giroud stole a GOTY contender from Kola with that late one.
I know that this comment is post-match, but before I became a Gooner, I was streaming VfL Wolfsburg matches in German for 3 straight seasons through Sky Deutschland on those sketchy streaming sites before picking up a virus on the opening weekend in 2013-14 away to Hannover That virus is not only the reason I don't go to such sites anymore, but also, lead me to seek refuge (for the sake of my footy fix) in the Premier League (and specifically) and to Arsenal. But, When they DO show Wolfsburg on either Big FOX, FS1 or FS2, we try to catch every match possible, thank goodness the Bundesliga is now on a network everybody can get (it was on GolTV for years and nobody carried it, especially since beIN Sports debuted here in the States a few years back).
