Arsenal skipper Robin van Persie has claimed that his teammates outplayed Blackburn in
Saturday's 4-3 defeat and he is still shocked that Steve Kean's struggling outfit was able to score
four times.
Although the Dutchman acknowledged the need to stop conceding soft goals in order to rebound
quickly from a third defeat in only five Premier League matches, he reminded the Rovers that they
were fortunate to emerge as the winning side at Ewood Park.
Big responsibility on his shoulders
Time to wipe the slate clean. Not something which can be easily said, especially when the season
has already been under way for a couple of weeks. However, that is also precisely the reason why we
could regard this upcoming weekend's match as the start "of the star" of the season for Arsenal
Football Club.
The captain meeting his future team mate?
First Champions League match out of the way then. Draw was the final result and it was a fair
reflection on the game. Both sides went about with their usual tactics but the home side had the
upper hand of things in most parts. Like I said yesterday, I would take a draw if it was given to
me.
Last we saw of little Jack
As we wait for another round of international matches to be completed, we were treated to

again.

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has hailed holding midfielder Alex Song as the protector of
the Gunners' defense and insists that an end to the Cameroon international's suspension is poised
to help Arsene Wenger's side.
Despite signing a plethora of established players on the transfer deadline day, Wenger was left
to witness a far from convincing performance this past weekend as his men grinded out a 1-0 win at
home to newly promoted Swansea City.
Crane style Robin
This was our second win in 6 Premier League games. It pushes us up to 12th place in the league
standing with 32 more games to go. The win was made even sweeter by the fact that we managed to
claw back 2 points from leaders Manchester United, who drew away at Stoke yesterday.
One last time in the stands
Second match of the Champions League and its the first home game at the Grove in the competition
proper. Olympiakos are the visitors tonight and we are looking for our first win in the group stage
after the draw at Dortmund in the opening round of fixtures. They are the reigning champions of
Super League Greece.
Arsenal midfielder Alex Song was delighted after the Gunners battled their way past Olympiacos in
