Another game, another easy win at the Emirates. It was at times a pleasure to watch, and at other times, agonizing (ok, to an extent) to see the opportunities missed. The final score should have been 6-0. At least. Undue pessimism aside, it was a very good result for Wenger's kids. Important to note that it was Cesc's 200th Arsenal appearance - rather amazing for a 21 year old.

Before the 2007/08 season, many critics/pundits were forecasting what would be a negative season for the Gunners.
