Blades Put To The Sword

 Denilson celebrates scoring Arsenal's third

League Cup 4th Round, Bramall Road. Arsenal cut through Sheffield United at will last night as the young Gunners yest again proved their class. Eduardo answered his [few?] critics with a brace of well taken goals, and generally looked sharp throughout. Denilson followed up his cracker against Newcastle with another long range belter. Any worries about Gilberto’s loyalty were also waylaid as he put in a strong performance at the back, although with admittedly little to deal with. I also think he was dealt a little slap on the wrists when Fabianski was named captain in his stead, so there could still be rumblings of discontent…

Fabregas celebrates scoring the equaliser for Arsenal

So that’s 23 games unbeaten stretching back into last season with Fabregas shovelling in ten goals so far this season. I think that although a draw was a fair result, it is also true that only one team ever looked like winning the game and that was Arsenal.

Onto Sheffield United in the League Cup midweek, and I expect an even younger side to face the Blades than faced Newcastle in the third round. Still a team of say, Fabianski, Hoyte, Nordtveit, Song, Traore, Merida, Denilson, Diarra, Bendtner, Lansbury should be enough to see off a struggling United side.

Then, the big one. Arsenal vs the Shit. Ooooh.

The Magnificent Seven

Theo Walcott rounds the keeper before scoring Arsenal's third

Last night at the Emirates was surely one of the greatest performances the European Cup (or Champions League) has ever seen. The Young Gunners popped in seven goals, but it so easily could have been more. Coincidentally, the first Arsenal game I ever saw on TV was Arsenal vs FK Austria Memphis, a game that also had 7 goals, a 6-1 demolition in the 1991-2 European Cup. How strange. Anyway, I attribute this season’s success to two players in particular, Alex Hleb and Cesc Fabregas. The communication and vision between them is excellent and both have added significantly to the goals tally. If we can keep both of them fit Arsenal are in with a chance of silverware this year.
