This was the kind of of performance that we wanted to see from Arsenal. Fast flowing football and lots of goals.
Theo Walcott first goal was purse Arsenal. A 7 man move ripped Blackpool open and Walcott finished off the move with a first-time drive from the right of the box.
Arshavin made it two with a 32nd-minute penalty after Ian Evatt was sent-off off for bringing down Marouane Chamakh with a challenge from behind.
Walcott claimed his second six minutes from the break and then Abou Diaby made it 4-0 four minutes after the restart, Walcott claimed the match ball as the hour mark approached and Chamakh rounded things off with his first Arsenal goal, seven minutes from time.
Let’s be honest. We expected Arsenal to thrash Blackpool and they did. But it was nice to see the Gunners keep a clean sheet, and for Cesc Fabgreas and Rob van Persie both get 30 minutes.
And I loved the performance of Theo Walcott. Yes the three goals were great, but his overall performance was electric and I hope we see more of this type of performance by Theo as the season progresses.

I agree with you about Theo’s performance. It was fun to watch and I enjoyed seeing his killer instinct. Not only did he have his usual pace which is almost impossible to deal with, but he played so intelligently. His crosses were actually good this week. I hope that this isn’t a one off.
i am very excited by the performance of arsenal and i hope next time they playing like this with man utd and chelsi
Yes, It was a good day and nice to see those Crudpool jokers given a good tonking.The sooner they are relegated the better.
the performance is very good,truth teo is totally improve keep going guy.this season is our by grace of god.
the performance of arsenal is very good for this season but please arsenal need another midfielder because Abu diaby is not much good because he hold on to the ball too much likewise samrie nasrie both of them hold the ball too much.the other thing is, we need one flanker,good goalkeeper one striker more.thanks from John turay in sierra Leone west Africa.
