Got to love the Arsenal fans getting giddy over 9 straight wins. I just checked who they played:
West Ham (15th)
Cardiff (20th)
Newcastle (19th)
Vorskla Poltava
Everton (11th)
Brentford
Watford (9th)
FK Qarabag
Fulham (17th)
Wow. Impressive.
It helps them build momentum though. I watched that Fulham game and they played some excellent attacking football. We on the other hand scraped a victory against Fulham.
We didn’t. Once we had control of that game we could have got 5 or 6 we missed some big chances.
We are a better team than them, but we are tired and hungover from the World Cup and they enjoyed a rest, full pre-season, signings and the boost of a new manager. As a result I don’t think anyone can deny they are in form and from that point of view there are for more of a threat to us this year than they have been at any point in at least the past four seasons.I’m not convinced that’s the consensus, even though I agree we shouldn’t arrogantly dismiss them.
But whatever the consensus is, I do think we’re better than them, and also that we shouldn’t be thinking that 4th place is the best we can achieve.
I'm grateful for the 3 points - How many times have we sneaked a draw from a winning position ?
Wait till they play a tottenham,liverpool,man city or chelsea, then we'll see what Arsenal are about this year.
If they collapse like a pack of cards we know its same old Arsenal.
If not...well lets not think of crossing that bridge.
