It shouldn't have stood given the fact that Van Persie was offside when he received the ball but I remember clearly a match at Highbury when I first witnessed Van Persie playing on the left, slotted in a perfectly fine goal against Chelsea

With the eyes of the world on Cesc Fabregas in his first outing as captain of the Club, many were also keenly following the fortunes of the man he replaced. William Gallas was in the thick of the action in the first period

I don’t remember Joe Hart having to make a single save in the first period. The closest we came was when a set-piece landed at the feet of Song, who couldn’t wrap his right peg around the ball and sent it wide

We need to readjust our expectations. Top spot is NOT a realistic objective anymore. Sure, the optimist can say that we have the quality to go on an unbeaten run

That is what is special about Wilshere. He is the most talented kid in the youth set up yet he has so much natural desire to win the ball

A fifteen-pass move ended with Fabregas finding Nasri in space on the edge of the box. Unlike his predecessor Alex Hleb, Super Sam had no qualms in hitting the ball first time as he arrowed an unstoppable shot into the top corner

Arsenal had a massive 87% possession of the ball after the first 5 minutes, quite amazing I thought to myself, I then started dreaming about keeping that up for 90 minutes, that would be fun

Delap's throw arrowed towards Toure with Fuller lurking behind him, Fuller and Toure had been tussling for the ball, Toure jumped to head the ball, he missed his header but Ricardo Fuller managed to get a touch on it

The gut-wrenching thing is that, apart from the goals, I felt the back-four looked solid for the most part, which may sound crazy having conceded four

Theo picked up the ball inside his own half and did his best Forrest Gump impersonation as he kept running and running and running. He got into the box and unleashed a rising drive that clipped the top of the crossbar
