Baddun wasnt it! Ive never felt that keen when SKD has gone up to take a penalty, hope thats the end of it for him now especially when Matt Taylor is on the pitch.

Great scenes after the winner, felt so good to finally get another game out of the way after Wembley too, I feel somehow refreshed and ready for the last few games whereas a week ago I really wanted the season to end immediately. Down one week, up the next, it's great being a Wanderer.

Expect, is something you want when we play League 2 opposition at home in the FA Cup.

"Hope" is something we can wish for against the bona fide top 4. To ever expect to beat a top 4 at home is piss on your shoes delusional

Davies gave the performance we were all looking for. Awesome.

Shout out to Muamba aswell, did anyone else notice they got more joy getting at our defence when he went off? Reall pity we're missing Holden, they make a good double act. Both do so much unnoticed work.

And Robbo. If you could mark the highest and lowest point of one man's season, it was this week. His and Davies' will to win today saw us through some tough moments and inspired the team.

The season is still on.

I gotta say, I called the miss, sadly. For some reason it just never felt right. Never get a good feeling watching the big man step up, and until today he's always banged em away. Good record though, better than Fat Frank

Should have Frannie Lee'd that one. At least a good chance and a possible rebound. Very casual attempt. Bit surprising, but, like Ginge, I didn't have that totally confident feeling.

I expected it and it happened.

I expected to lose to Stoke last week for some reason and it happened.

I'm sorry that every expectation doesn't tally up to some nice neat league table. It doesn't.

I expected a reaction today and as Arsenal are a bunch of fooking girls I didn't expect them to handle it. They didn't.

If that makes me delusional then fine. But then as it happened, I don't think delusion comes into it.

Five home wins on the bounce, isn't it? Apparently our best top-flight run in 13 years.

Fantastic result and performance.

Thought the fans were brilliant today - total support from the start. When we missed a pen and then gave up a goal 2 minutes later heads did not go down on or off the pitch.

Tremendous tantrum from Anorak Wenger.

Great day.

Three words sum it up for me:

Gotta love that for Cohen, that moment just edged when Wenger bounced the ball really high like a child because a throw in went the other way. He's a parody of himself sometimes.

Would say it was like the old days when we used to beat Arsenal at home but back then we did it by stopping Arsenal playing and imposing ourself on it, while today we surrendered midfield but they couldn't kill us off. We did make our own chances up the other end but scored from the resulting corners rather than the chances themselves!

Anyway just glad that I could be proud of the club again 'cos I've not felt proud this week.

That header was fast, reminded me of the Allardyce one v Sunderland, not as far out though, but the ball travelled fast.

Watching MOTD2 just then made me appreciate how good a header that was from Cohen, brilliant

Thought Davo gave a good performance, not the best on the pitch by far but tried hard. Don't think we can argue with his penalty record so far, but you gotta miss a few of them.

Did you see Robbo when Cohen scored the winner? I think that shows how much it meant to him today.

Made up for Cohen too. That goal meant so much to him, great header and great moment for him.

Great reaction from the whites.

Cohen and Sturridge. Daniel barely mentioned Chelsea! And Cohen barely speaks English!
