Match Reaction: Arsenal 4-1 West Ham

[Master Splinter]

Wenger .

Great subs.

Monreal .

Lacazette .

Ramsey .

Is Kane claiming the touch?

Welbz was very good again. Certain to start on Thursday.

Auba sped everything up when he came on. He's so much ahead of everyone else in movement and ideas. You can instantly tell when a player has that confidence, arrogance and class. 50 goals next season tbfh.


Moyes .

[Letters]

He leaves when he wants,
He leaves when he waaants,
Arsene Wenger,
He leaves when he wants.

Iwobi.

What was that?

Turning matches in to one half of football.

Our specialty.

Racking up the +1's against Moyes is always pleasing.

It all seems a bit surreal still. Will be more excited and engaged on Thursday when the match actually means something.

[Cripps]

James Benge: Wenger says to me that he doesn't want to have a say in his successor. "My job is to take care of the team... my job is not to select the next manager."

Wenger: Ferguson it was different. He's still at the club. He stayed at Manchester United... Honestly I cannot tell you much more, I don't want you to come back to me in six months and say 'you lied to us'. I know I did that a few times.

Great news!

His post match comments basically all but confirm that he was pushed out.

[fakeyank]

Good win. Enjoying the end of the Mugabe regime.

[Marc Overmars]

A bit of a slog but a nice win in the end.

Good booster ahead of the real stuff on Thursday.

Welbz is a horrific footballer but he does make enough of a nuisance of himself to be effective in his own way.

AW on why he's leaving now: "I made a statement, that is basically all you need. Overall, I think it's not the moment to come out on that ... I will speak about that a bit later in my life."

AW: "It was different with Ferguson. He's not at the club."

Arsene asked if he is relieved: "No, because I don't feel tired". He does not sound remotely like a man who wanted to go.

Wenger: I was not tired. I believe that this club is respected all over the world, much more than in England. Our fans didn't give the image of unity I want at the club. That was hurtful.
