Another very decent week has come to a close for the Arsenal. A comfortable, controlled win over Dortmund in mid-week secured safe passage to the second round of the Champions League — in top spot to boot! — and a determined fight-back against Fulham saw us grab a draw in the Premier League.

I know Robin van Persie scored his 456th goal in 432 games and it’s easy to label us a one-man team, particularly in an attacking sense, but Saturday’s come-from-behind victory showed once again that this clearly isn’t the case.

We are starting to gel. After overcoming the doom and gloom of a terrible start to the season we’ve produced three good results in a row — starting with the thrilling 5-3 victory over Chelsea that ranks up there as one of the most entertaining games of Arsene Wenger’s fifteen years in charge.

It begs the question: is there a better player in the Premier League at the [...]
