To cap off a good day, Liverpool were held by Birmingham thereby allowing us to stretch our lead at the top. By all accounts it was the kind of frustrating home game we had to contend with last season. As I write this, the eagerly anticipated showdown between Man Utd and Chelsea

Top Gun? I can’t look past the maestro that is Cesc Fabregas. He orchestrated/conducted/pulled all the strings in this performance, and show no lack of bite in defence either. With his ever increasing ability to get goals and the improvement of his physical stature

Cesc flighted it in and Ade got in front of his marker and the keeper to nod home. Joy abound in the away end, and the ironic thing was we wouldn’t have scored had that twat ‘fan’ not tried to get onto the pitch. SO IF YOU’RE READING THIS YOU IDIOT, CHEERS FOR BEING SUCH A PRAT!

Arsenal moved to joint top of the league with Liverpool after a well-deserved win over Pompey. However it wasn’t as straightforward as the scoreline suggests, the Gooners being forced to play almost the entire second-half with 10-men

Having started very brightly – especially Theo who linked up well with Justin – we understandably took our foot of the accelerator. Sparta’s stifling 4-5-1 didn’t help the spectacle either

Then came another body blow to Arsenal’s defensive fortunes as Bac Sagna clashed with the Flamster. The new boy could not continue further, making way for Denilson as his injurer slotted into right-back.

With Eboue and Rosicky out injured and Eduardo and Denilson being available after knocks, Le Boss was faced with selection questions, both tactical and personnel-wise. Would he stick to the so-far successful 4-4-1-1?

This side will improve when Eduardo makes diagonal runs for Cesc, Rosicky and Hleb. Gilberto will protect an improving defensive unit. Robin Van Persie will also improve when he has more support, more options

The title of this article are the very words I texted to my Gooner pals after the last-gasp victory over Fulham. And the more I think about it, the more they ring true to me

Emmanuel Eboue is really starting to show what he can do in this right wing position. His style is similar to Aaron Lennon. Maybe not as talented but he plays in direct zig zags in the way that Lennon does
