Welcome to the Gunners’ town

So, another three points in the bag and a top four is looking like it may happen.

The start to Arsenal’s current season has been well documented throughout the media. Defeats to Liverpool, Blackburn, Tottenham and Manchester United left fans staring into the the abyss that was left at the Emirates by the departures of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas.

When Arsenal travel to the DW Stadium for Saturday’s afternoon kick-off, many will be banking on an away win.

It is my personal opinion that a woman is continuously under pressure to be perfect.  This “perfection” can manifest itself in a variety of forms, and is entirely individual and subjective. It’s a highly competitive world out there, and over the last few weeks I’ve discovered that I most definitely fall into the category of  ‘perfectionist’, more specifically in the ‘success’ area, combined with ‘looking good’.

With the entirety of last summer frantically spent on the impending transfers and replacements of crucial midfield duo Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas; many fans and pundits alike failed to note the prominent rise of youngsters Ryo Miyaichi and Benik Afobe during pre-season.

Nicklas Bendtner made his seventh appearance for Sunderland in Saturday’s dour 0-0 draw against fellow Premier League strugglers Fulham.

Was he simply one of those people in life we come to appreciate more once they have gone? No this isn’t a tragic love story, this is former Gunner Mathieu Flamini. Having spent all of for years in North London the Frenchman will undoubtedly divide opinions amongst Gooners, but did he depart just a little too early?

As the end of the international break looms, Arsenal fans all over the world simply can’t wait to see the Gunners back in action.
