Arsenal 2

  West Ham 0

  Top of the League 

The mark of a great team is their ability to bounce back from defeat when everyone around them tells them they are falling apart.Only a week ago the pundits had manchester United running away with the league once Arsenal were toppled off of top spot, the young Gunners were 'apparently' too young and too inexperienced to be able to keep first place from the approaching more expensive pack. 

Today, Arsene Wengers talented youngsters once again showed the whole Premiership why they are true contenders for this seasons title with a masterful display of grit, determination and pure class against a very resolute West Ham. There were so many good performances by the whole Arsenal squad that it was difficult to select a Man of the Match, such was the brilliance shown by Adebayor, Clichy, Fabregas, Flamini, Rosicky, Eduardo...in fact all of the team, maybe the award should really go to Arsene Wenger and Pat Rice jointly, for having the vision and the faith to put together such an outstanding squad of players.

We the Supporters are witnessing a true transformation in the way that football is evolving at Arsenal, not since the Chapman era has there been so much beauty in the game that they players play, they are swift, sure footed, confident and entertaining, Arsenal play football the way it is meant to be played...and occasionally they take the game to a different level that even a worlds best eleven would not be able to cope with.

It's always good to be a Gooner, in 2008 it will be great.
