I'll admit to feeling wary ahead of Arsenal's trip to Brighton. I'm glad The Arsenal came through it with a 3-2 win because before the match all I could think was we're away from home, in the cup against what will probably be a very much up for it Brighton side this just has, as I told friends, "banana skin written all over it.". Arsenal weren't at their best but they also weren't quite as bad as Manchester United or Liverpool or Manchester City or Swansea or Southampton or Chelsea or Tottenham. It's now perfectly fine to laugh and take the right royal piss out of the appropriate fans. Work on Monday is always that little bit better when you can go in and laugh at people. 

Before Arsenal's game against Manchester City if you had asked the two types of player I'd have liked to see Arsenal sign in this January transfer window I'd have quite quickly replied "defensive midfielder and centre back." I'm sure a lot of Arsenal supporters would have said the same and most probably still would but when 6pm came on Sunday I had changed my mind. I think, for the rest of the season at least, we should rock out with our Coq out.
