Well Cazorla looked solid, REAL solid, since his days with Villareal he has always been an impressive player :) And about the Giroud miss, it was his first game people! How many players arrive and make an immediate impact for their new team? Well, Cisse did for Newcastle, but he was a very unique case :) Giroud is a quality player anyway, hopefully that miss won't hurt his hunger for goals.

how is this in top 5 most exciting matches? and cazorla is like a faster version of fabregas, very impressed!

My opinion Alex song should be in Defensive midfield.He's very energetic

oh, some of the usual arsenal haters over here ;)
Arsenal wasn't effcient enough, i think it's quite thier big problem since many years. since thierry henry, they lacked a real goalscorer, even with RVP last season.
but looking at City, Utd and Liverpool shy performances, there's place for everybody for this premiership 2013 title

I really don't understand the recent decision making of Arsenal. RVP and Song = 2 best players on the squad and they're in their prime. Big clubs just don't sell players like this. I'm sure Cazorla will be great and Giroud/Podolski will contribute as well, but those were 2 huge players they just sold. Something needs to change for Arsenal, as it seems their big players don't want to stay for long. Was really looking forward to seeing if RVP could get the golden boot again for the Gunners.

Watched first half and fell asleep but really sucks for Arsenal with no Van Persie now. I think will be alittle more quiet at Emirates. Lost him and got some good players like Podolski and such but will take some time to get a bit more figured out and stuff but good draw Sunderland, 0-0 games always kinda sad but we will see what happens.

I thought Arsenal played well, Giroud should have scored that though. There are no excuses for messing things up like that.

lol at the media and retarded "football" fans saying arsenal are nothing without RVP. did people really think podolski, giroud and cazorla would score 5 goals in their first match together?

Is Jack Whilshire cleared yet?? I miss him so much!

great run by giroud lets not forget he is left footed. timing was there, lacked a bit of confidence for the finish but literally his first EPL game with two others also there first. gunners look much stronger then last season.

:)...i like these new team. 2 more signing to go, sahin....

I think podolski did really well. I am used to him just putting his head down and shooting rockets wildly, but he looked composed and passed really well.

Arsenal fans complaining alot it seems, new players have arrived and the more they play together the better they will be.

Arsenal looked brightly throughout the whole match I wouldn't be too worried with the result the team will gel match after match, Cazorla was a great signing for Arsenal, he's a beast.

arsenal looked pretty good to me, can't believe giroud missed that shot!
