Niall Quinn

I love the edge he has.

He has a great edge to his game.

His great ability as a player, his sense of balance and, you know, the low point of gravity, wait and twist, turn, move things around, sees things, sees a pass.

He has an all-round game that's quite superb.

And I just feel, you know, if Arsenal are to kick on over the next couple of years, regardless of whether Wenger or who's there,

You can't let him out the door.

It's absolutely essential that they finish off strong.

For his sake, I hope it's a Champions League finish for Arsenal.

I hope they have a great day out in a cup final for him and give him enough to say, yeah, this thing is going right and I'm going to stay here because he's absolutely top class.

Yeah, and if it works out that there's, you know, they get a point more in these next two games, then it could be quite critical, because it...

It looks like the game is coming to an end, and they could have just taken it easy, but they kept pressing, they understood the importance, Ramsey makes a great run from deep, and even then it looks as if there's a lot to do, he pulls it back, but well done Giroud to get on the end of it.

Real intent there on his mind to make sure that he got himself a second goal, and as you say, the importance may come to bear, we could be talking about it probably more so if there is a point dropped here or there by Liverpool, as I say, if there's one point more won by Arsenal.

That it is.

It's a big, big goal.

Well, there's energy drive, and he mentioned the word desire, and I think he's right to say that, because on today's evidence alone, just the way they approached the game, straight off, first 13, 15 minutes,

Looking at the game, Stoke weren't just at the races at all.

And we were all expecting Stoke to be the tough ones and that they would question Arsenal.

And it wasn't.

They totally dictated the pace of the game.

The application was fantastic.
