Wolves do not present the stiffest competition these days, but this was a most pleasing and reassuring victory. I like to see 5 points between Arsenal and the following pack, anything less makes my palms sweat
You have to feel bad for wolves. I was really disappointed to see that red card so early on, and new it was going to be a boring game and far from a test of character for the gunners. But getting those 3 points is what matters at the end of the day. See you in a few years, Wolverhampton
What has been up with refs lately? Penalty, yes but red card? Too harsh. Yellow would of been more suiting.
Szczesny has proved to be an essential asset between the stick. What a beautiful save.
The interplay between RVP and Walcott was magnificent, they are crystalizing into one of the most dangerous striking partnerships in Europe. Had Arsenal have this form through out the whole season they would of battled for the title. To sad that they had a rough start. This form needs to carry over towards the next season and hopefully end the Liga-like two horse race between the Manchester sides.
Yes but don't forget the referee has the discretion to determine if the rule will be applied in it entirety. A letter vs spirit of the law if you will. I've seen some referee's give yellows and award the penalty in the same situation, I'm sure you have too. All done with the clear intention as too not spoil the game to early
If Arsenal had this form at the beginning of the season by now they could be waiting for their first trophy. I wish they continue like that until the beginning of next season. It is also important that they do their transfers early enough to allow time for proper integration of new players. Otherwise adding one or two players will be appropriate because the team is already good
What a shame for Wolves to get a red within 10 mins of game, but I think the ref was too harsh, rather he just have gave a yellow cause its not like Arsenal needed to be a player up almost whole game. But took risk and confidence for Van Persie to do that chip penalty like you can do it fifa12, great goal and worked and was alittle funny being 4 games since he last scored and felt like that was too long but he is brilliant, as for the other Arsenal goals were good finishes, Walcott was good and good to see Chelsea loan Benayoun score a goal good finish. I feel bad for Wolves and O'connor I like him and it looks like Wolves going down and that's too bad, even that one save by Szczesny, it was great but would have being nice for Wolves to see a goal, but ya Arsenal looking great and Wolves not, but that red card shouldn't have happened it killed Wolves chances but it should have being just a yellow
It was soft, but 'it's not like Arsenal needed to be a player up' is hardly a reason. I mean, it'd be nice for neutrals if refs made calls solely on the basis of what would make a game exciting, but that's about it

Szczrsny, what a save And what a cheeky penalty by RvP
Wigan and Wolves been flirting with relegation these past 2 seasons. I think its time to see some new faces. I was sorry when Blackpool got relegated last season
