Posting this now as I need to dash just before full time to pick the kids up.

I may miss late substitutions but fingers crossed that won't matter too much.

I have no real complaints about everyone today. Midfield did its job, defense was excellent, Cech made a few brilliant saves

I'm gonna go with Malouda, but Drogba, Cech, Alex and JT all deserve honorable mentions

Petr Cech for me, without him we could have been severely embarrassed today - but all the players did well

Yep, got to go with the flow this time - Petr Cech far and away our best player on the day.

Big Pete wins it for me, fantastic performance throughout. Don't think he did a thing wrong!

Seems strange to go for a goalkeeper in a 4-1 win, but Cech for me too. He looked assured, held onto almost everything and made some good saves.

Pete the Fantastic (that won't pick up, will it ?).

Which would be surprising to anyone who hasn't watched the game, really. We were not as good as the result suggests and neither were Arsenal as poor .

Agree with sky and gone with Malouda, though a great game by Cech, Alex and JT also.

Super goal by Anelka too!

Malouda for me. Another excellent performance.

Went for Cech but a collective bottle of Champagne to the whole team

I WANNA VOTE FOR BALLACK D:

But yeah, it's probably Cech for me, although I thought Anelka and Mikel were pretty solid. Lamps also had his moments.

The defence was far too shaky for my liking.

Ashley Cole!! ;)

jt was near flawless, and alex solid.

will go for cech, while no one played badly, there weren't that many great performances. lampard was good, mikel and malouda were alright... strange game.

Malouda for me. He's becoming our most consistent player towards the business end of the season.

Cech. Malouda played pretty well, but there were definitely flashes of his former form, dribbling into the opposition, outrunning the ball, etc. I thought the JT and Alex partnership looked a little shaky at times when there were some holes exploited. But I might be being a bit too critical, 4-1!

I went for Cole. He really pushed Walcott back and gave us a lot of attacking threat in the second half.

I must have seen it different to many others because I felt Malouda was back to his former-self for most of the game. I guess the fact he manged to put in that riccochet off of the post accounted for some of his votes. He was terribly at fault for their goal. Watch it again, look at where he was and how little he did to either:

1) close the man down

2) stop the cross coming over.

He was just standing there watching Cashley.

I've gone for Malouda - purely because this is about the fourth game running that he has impressed me. And he needs the kudos of a vote from the Forum after being so piss-poor beforehand. If we could have a poll for Most Improved Player....

Really a very close run thing for me. I continue to be hugely impressd by Anelka, real brains, great finnesse. Cech has taken the criticsm and shoved it up the presses' collective ar**s, and Malouda was my pick today. If he had started the season the way he is finishing, he might have had a shout for our player of the season.

I went with, Anelka,holds the ball well ,silky smooth on the ball,rarely loses possession,and what a goal.cech was also superb today.

I went for Cole. He really pushed Walcott back and gave us a lot of attacking threat in the second half.

Agree 100% with this. Cole for me also, but Big Pete was fantastic too.

ash cole for me, he was superb

he silenced the boo boys, and that was enough for me

Ashley Cole for me, although I don't think anybody had a great game I think after the first twenty minutes he had sussed Walcott and his pleasure at our goals must have really given it to the Gooner fans...for that he must get the edge.

Two dissapointed teams both trying to put the events of the last week behind them, I'm sure we all feel better then the fans who left twenty minutes early.

Funny thing, I know a lot of Arsenal fans and mostly they are good mates but the loss to Barca pleased them so much that todays result actually felt like the team gave my answers for me.

And I know they still love Ashley really :D

Went for JT, got a couple of good blocks in and really didn't let anyone pass, a good defensive display to a team who would rather pass than shoot.

I thought the whole team played really well today. Cech made some brilliant saves, Ashely Cole played really well, as did Malouda and Anelka, but my vote is for Essien. He was awesome today, in defence and attack :D
