WHU 2-5 ARS and SPO 1-5 ARS: Finally Looking Like Ourselves

 Injuries remain a worry, but the goals keep coming for the Gunners.

Highlights (re-enacted) of the West Ham game.

The Hammers were not ready for the onslaught and were overwhelmed in the first half, although they scored two fine goals to make things a bit more interesting.  They came out in a very physical mode in the second half, Arsenal sat back a little, and there was little of note in the second 45 minutes.  Liverpool demolished Man City to remain 9 points (!) up on us and Chelsea.  Everyone else has to hope they hit a bad patch or three; no top flight squad has been so far in front at this stage of the season and not gone on to win the league.

Our CL campaign continued successfully with a comprehensive win over Sporting in Lisbon, who had not lost at home for over a year, and not lost in any competition this season.  With the new format, the goal is to finish in the top eight in the 36 team "league" to avoid a home and home play-in to the quarterfinals.  We're well placed to do just that.
