The 4-0 drubbing of Wigan was a mixed signal, I think. We didn't play well and relied on our class, or rather the lack of class of our opponents. We will have to play hard to win all these games but it isn't daunting.
You're right. Fulham have been struggling. I can see West Ham being out toughest test in the coming month as Zola has created a great team. It will be exciting to see whether we take advantage of this nice schedule.
There is always some concern if you're backing a good team and they are playing a bad one. You don't want to play down to your opponents. ManUre has been doing this a lot this season. But it isn't a problem for Arsenal so far. Weak opponents seem to bring out the best in them. Another easy win for Arsenal today in a game that could easily have been 5-0. Arsenal now on a seven game winning streak in all forums and even better, no draws this year (excessive draws ate up our points last season). Andrei Arshavin with another cheeky goal! He is such a threat from the corner of the box it is ludicrous.
I feel completely ashamed today, speeds. I completely forgot that Arsenal were playing today. COMPLETELY! I guess I can blame it on working a 6-6 shift today, but that still isn't a good enough reason! Happy about the result, though.
Meh, the game was pretty uninteresting. BC didn't have much to offer. Arsenal dominated possession as usual.
I like how the Arsenal site now shows highlights of the game with Arsenal-biased commentary -- For free! It's in tiny resolution though.
Also, don't look now, but Arsenal has moved into fourth place with a game in hand, just four points out of first. They are also enjoying the best goal differential in the league.
