I am reading a lot right now about Arsenal’s unconvincing wins.

The last 3 Premier League games have been won by a single goal. But the key is 9 points from 9 games. We are now also 5 wins in 5 in all competitions.

Last season we drew 14 games in the Premier League. We dropped 21 points after leading games. 8 of which were dropped at home. Being unable to hold onto a lead was the reason we did not win the league.

I look at games such as against Everton, Brighton and Wolves and think “last year we would have draw or lost those games”. This year we are winning. And that is shown in the fact that we are 10 points better off this season than last in the “corresponding games”.

Liverpool last seas  won 9 out of 38 games by a single goal. Their ability to come behind to take the lead and hold on to win was why they won the league.

I have never known a fan base to be so negative after 5 wins in a row. It used to be said that a sign of champions was winning whilst not being out of 2nd gear. 

Yet for Arsenal we are being criticised for winning whilst not getting out of 2nd gear, and being top of the league despite the injury issues we have had in his season.

I am just glad that most of the negative nancies gave up their season tickets, and now just sit online or phoning up TalkSport to share their special brand.

Today we face Aston Villa who, after a very slo start, are the form team in Europe.

Smaller clubs with players with no egos certainly suits Unai Emery. Whilst some will say “Arsenal made a mistake getting rid”, he has shown throughout his career that he doesn’t not have the mental aptitude to handle the pressure at a top club, or deal with top players. The likes of Aston Villa suits him and good luck to him. I always liked him (he was my favourite to replace Arsene Wenger even before he went to PSG)
