Fulham 0-1 Arsenal
One line from David Walsh's Times match report yesterday sums up Arsenal at the moment, in many
ways:
"..though they always impress you, they don't always convince you."
It was definitely thus yesterday; we came away with a hard-fought and hugely creditable 1-0 win,
but have a rookie 21-year-old Italian keeper largely to thank.
Arsenal 4 (Vermaelen 25, 49, Eduardo 59, Fabregas 90) Wigan 0
(Premiership)
Apologies for the absence over the past few days, a lack of time has left me unable to do
justice to the midweek win over Liege, and the Adebayor furore. So before I get on to yesterday's
game, I just want to make a few points.
Hurrah! It's Friday tomorrow, a mere day before Saturday, which is the very day of my first home
league game of the season.
Weird that we'll have had just one home league game more than a month into the season, but
that's how it's panned out. We've played seven, won five, lost two. Is it a disastrous start to the
season?
Morning, it's Wigan on the menu today and a home game which seems like a bit of a novelty this
season so far.
Only Robin van Persie is back from injury. Andrei Arshavin hasn't made it, neither has Almunia,
Theo Walcott has had a setback apparently, and the others we know about already. The importance of
this game should be in no doubt.
