Theo Walcott to score his 67th and 68th goals of the season here.

Another step to the title completed here i reckon 3 - 1 with Theo bagging 2 more.

Easy home win. Just looked at Arsenal's games so far and I'm not surprised they're doing so well. The only two fixtures I would have expected them to struggle in was Liverpool and Chelsea, and they lost one of those. Fair play though, you can only beat the teams in front of you and they've played with confidence and scored a fair few goals. And with this and Sunderland next, I expect them to have a decent chance of being top going into the Spurs game. They still won't win the title for me though, we've seen runs of form like this from them before in the last decade.

3-1

someones jumping on the Johnnytodd bandwagon already, come on board Pagnell and enjoy the ride.

I'd like to see Lucas Perez get 20-30 minutes. He plays like a poor man's Alexis, and he's able to play CF or either wing. When the inevitable injuries occur, he'll get his chance to become an important player in Wenger's new, more fluid attack.

Middlesborough look a decent defensive side, but have struggled to create chances or generate sustained pressure in the final third. 3-0.

 

[Pagnell]

Arsenal lucky to go into the dressing room level. Good play by Cech to keep Middleborough off the score sheet.

 

[Pagnell]

Piss take by Mustafi, just dragged him down. Deserved yellow.

to be fair, we dont look very good without Cazorla in the middle.

I see Traore is beginning to show his potential at Boro, today he looked sensational. Always said under the right tutelage he could become world class and Karanka who knows his stuff may be the man to get it out of him.
