Arsenal 2 - 1 Bolton Wanderers: Park winner sees Arsenal through to last 8 for 9th consecutive time

Just watched Shava for a few mins, he's beasting it man

Ramsey/Arteta = Ramsey OR Arteta.

So Song, Wilshere and one of Ramsey or Arteta.

Enjoy watching Arsenal <3333

just got back from the game, great performance from the boys especially Park, Yannaris, Miquel

and once again my invincible run is in tact

Just watched the whole game on arsenal player. Decent game. Park + Vermaelen very impressive. Benayoun did well too. AOC + Coquelin quiet.

Ratings:

Fabianski 5.5 - Good save from Klasnic but that came after some bad errors. Firstly let a free-kick slide out of his hands before fumbling a long shot just over his bar - a goal that would have been comical.

Yennaris 6 - Decent game from debutant but Gardner broke down his side twice to set up promising situations, which was worrying. But worked very hard, was committed and loves to tackle.

Squillaci 7 - Am I allowed to say he had a good game? The usually error-prone centre-back was solid and won many headers. As 5th choice centre-back for the forseeable future he may just come in handy.

Vermaelen 7.5 A faultless return for the brilliant centre-back. Made one outstanding tackle on Klasnic and read the game superbly. Went close to scoring with a powerful free-kick too. His withdrawal due to a tight calf at the end was the only concern.

Miquel 6 Played out of position at left-back. Did an ok job defensively but lost the ball on several occassions and failed to get forward - understandable given he was playing in wrong position.

Coquelin 6 Nowhere near the performance he gave v Shrewsbury or Tottenham. Lost the ball for the Bolton goal in the middle of the pitch and was very quiet. Still made 1 or 2 nice long-range passes and was full of energy however.

Frimpong 6 Like Coquelin, not his best performance of the season but used his physical strength well in certain situations. Withdrawn with a knock.

Oxlade-Chamberlain 5.5 In fairness, the 18-year old was due a bad game after a series of fine displays. He wasn't awful but lost the ball on too many occasions and failed to get better of Gardner.

Benayoun 7 Fine game from the Israeli. Was full of energy, movement and made some incisive passes, including the assist for Arshavin's goal.

Arshavin 7 Surprise inclusion maybe, but he made all the difference in the end. Scored a fine goal which caught the Bolton defence and keeper out. Then, set up Park with a perfectly-timed pass. A busy game and always tried a special pass - sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.

Park 8 Stark contrast from his performance against Shrewsbury when he was very quiet. Tonight, the Arsenal fans saw the real striker. The South Korean's movement was exceptional. Scored with a wonderful finish and tested Bogdan on more than one occasion with good shots in the first half. A hard worker and likes to link up play too. Surely has jumped ahead of Chamakh after tonight.

Park,Arshivan and Vermaelen.

sweet pic

Vermaelen on twitter: "Btw, i had a small cramp at the end. Nothing serious. Just went out as a precaution."

@T_Vermaelen05

Look how sexy Sheva was down the middle. Needs to play there more often.

And damn I love how Park shoots! We need more of that in the team. Beauty of a goal, too.

congrats mate.. Please make it to the chelsea match next week...

couldnt watch the match.. But it seems Chamakhs time is up after that horror show last week..

just downloaded the first half, and from what i have seen, i really want to see Park play instead of Chamakh. his link up play is 30 times better for starters. quite dissapointed with FRIM-COQ THOUGH!!!

I watched the game he had a decent game, great vision.

sweet, he seems to have gone under the radar since oxo arrived,
i guess theres more hype around the media cause oxo is english ...
i havnt seen much of them , but from what i have seen i think i prefer ryo ( for now) , mainly based on his massive pace and fair... ive allways liked a played who can dribble

he did well for the time he was on the pitch, skinned one defender on one occasion and gave us an option to relieve the pressure a lil

made one hugely important interception in our box for a sure goal

he did well hopefully he can get more games
