Was quite busy today so didn't follow the match on the radio, only checked the score with 30mins to go it was 0-0 so thought here we ****ing go again, a win against the mancs and now this but glad the boys pulled through and won.
Good to hear Henry getting in the swing of things again and nice to see Gallas score as well. Even though some say he shouldn't wear the No.10 shirt he sure can finish like a No.10!
[edit]
Also Freddie needs a goal badly, though with him when he is playing poorly he will stay injury free but as soon as he hits some form he will break down :x

It was against Sp**s I think, he hit it in the top corner from outside the box. He has a good shot on him and gets goals so that is another plus for us. He gets into great positions into the box and that is something new for us.

About Henry's first half performance: watching the match, Martin Tyler repeatedly speculated that Henry had been instructed to remain in an advanced position from the start of play.
Don't know whether that's true, but there could be a few reasons - perhaps he's not fully match fit, so a "lazy" first half allows him to play out the match without exacerbating his injury or tiring. Perhaps Wenger thought we could benefit by getting the Sheff Utd defenders used to one style of play and then inflicting a deeper, wider Henry on them after half time. Or perhaps it was just a tactical mistake on Wenger's part that he fixed at the break.

It was a win and that was the main thing. Man U was a huge spring leap and now, including today's game, we have a bunch of very easy fixtures. We win them all and we put ourselves in a very good position indeed.
A loss or draw today would have been close to disastrous IMO. No point going to Man U and winning and then not picking up all 3 points to a team like Sheffield at home.

Hell yeah you bet we're back on the run! and this we got swapped with C***ley Cole. well guess what!? We don't need his stinking armpits boning up in the locker room now we have Gallas. anyway, i watched the Fulham match at the very last minute there, someone stepped on his leg, The Fulham, yeah the C*** went down screaming, but there was only foul given i think, no RED card to the guy who stepped on him. Funny, when Ballack did that, he got a red card! :shock:

Imo, we were poor and could've done better. I think we took it easy and didn't really push that hard. We got 3 goals from 3 good Henry plays (ps, Henry was awful today and if it wasn't for him being involved in all three goals, everyone would be *****ing about him for sure)
Djourou was great, Eboue's cross for the third goal was inch perfect and the rest of the team were average or above average at best.
Overall, we were efficient and i'm content with the 3 points we got today.

guys guys, djrourou dominates against sheffield utd and hes better than senderos already? i don't think so.
also, ljungberg is so bad its not funny. i feel sorry for sweden cause hes their captain and hard to get rid of him. we have a beckham situation here. only that beckhams final balls is 100 times better than ljungbergs

Don't know if this has been mentioned already but it seems like the team is now relying on crosses when teams pack the middle of the pitch. Maybe we are finally developing a plan B or not but the number of crosses must have at least quadrupled. I noticed about 4 or 5 crosses in succession just after Henry's header was saved by UTD's keeper in the first half. A first for Arsenal?

Just managed to watch the game.
Wasn't a particularly great performance but important, and relieving to get that 1st league win at the new home.
Great to see Gallas come up with a goal and good to see Henry back and involved in all 3 goals, setting up 2 and scoring 1. Fantastic cross from Eboue right onto Henry's head. Toure had an excellent game as usual and had a few good moments in the final 3rd, one excellent run in particular, crossing perfectly for Henry to force a good save from the keeper, and another chance he made for himself, firing into the side netting. Djourou again was impressive at times winning the ball back but he did seem to go forward and lose the ball, getting himself into trouble a few too many times.
All in all, good to get 3 points at home in what was a reasonably tough game until we scored. And good to see some players actually getting into the middle when we put in a cross.
