There it is. The interlull curse strikes again. Did we really think we would come out of this break unscathed? Every thing was going too well. And now a player who is key to our entire club's fortunes looks set to be out for a while and will definitely miss our upcoming match against Chelsea, and for what?

The headline pretty much sums it up... as headlines are wont to do. Another 4 goals for the Arsenal, another late consolation goal for our poor victims. Wanderers came out into the amped up atmosphere of Molineux and really took it to us for the first 25 minutes. Until a Arsenal went ahead, completely against the run of play on a Zubar own-goal, that is.

It was just one of those nights. Kind of like the home wins over Sevilla or Slavia Prague match in 2007. Arsenal came off 3-nil win over Spurs at the weekend, in which they had never really hit 3rd gear, and rode that 3rd gear for much of the Champions League match with AZ Alkmaar on Wednesday evening.

Highlights and an interview with Arsene Wenger below.

I am still walking on air following our demolition of Spurs yesterday. With a glorious 3-nil victory at the Emirates we were able to put some breathing space between us and the four clubs trailing us at the moment.

Personal commitments have gotten to Arsenal Station this week but as a busy week grinds to a close, we look back at the week that was and ahead to the match we've all been waiting for.

In Arsene's 750th match in charge of the club, Arsenal advanced to the quarterfinals of the Carling Cup with another solid Carling Cup performance.

As always, highlights are below and are also archived on the right sidebar. Don't forget to click on "see all videos" at the bottom of the widget for the rest of the highlights from this season and preseason.

Last week, following our last-minute capitulation to AZ Alkmaar, I wrote a post entitled, "Déjà Vu," which talked about how the result was reminiscent of all those draws, many nil-nil, from last season.

See below for match highlights followed by Arsene Wenger's post-match interview.

Tuesday's match with AZ Alkmaar was full of deja vu on so many levels. Arsenal created a similar amount of chances to most of their other matches this season. Also, our inability to take our chances and kill the game off with the second goal was reminiscent of last season.

Another multi-goal margin of victory. Another "more than two goals" tally. Another soft goal conceded. Arsenal have seemingly picked up where they left off before the international break. Birmingham's visit to North London proved to be an entertaining match that is open to interpretation.

Because of the absolute boringness of this interlull in particular, Arsenal Station is treating our readers to a gaggle of videos today. Above is an old documentary about the closing of Highbury, The Highbury Years (not the official DVD), and below you will find Cesc and Senderos's international goals this week as well as the highlights from the Blackburn match's Fanzone.

Okay, it wasn't quite that many... but if the game had gone long enough we might have gotten there eventually. And if we had, Cesc would have probably assisted on 3,990 of them. I would be a vain writer indeed to think that I could come up with some kind of superlative or plaudit that I haven't already read in the hours since the match.

Does anyone really need any commentary on last night's 2-nil victory over Olympiakos? It was just pure, absolute domination for 90 minutes. Olympiakos registered only one true scoring opportunity but Mannone came up trumps when called upon not long after the restart.

As the match was getting into the later stages and it looked like it might be one of those nights when Arsenal just can't get the ball to actually cross the goalline, I was thinking to myself that, if this match finished scoreless, it would've been the most one-sided nil-nil draw I had ever seen.

I should start off by saying that, no matter the performance, this is a fixture we lost last season and that Fulham looked more like the team they were last season down the stretch than a team currently in and around the relegation zone. It wasn't pretty, but these are the matches we need to win.

Yesterday's game wasn't good. That's easy to point out. In case you really wanted to catch the game, here are some extended highlights.
