Interesting that we're actually reasonably consistent. Only 5 points off where we were last year. Only 2007/8 is significantly different.

I will put up the complete figures early next week but I have say that today's result means that Arsenal have the same number of points as last season and behind only 2 seasons in the previous 8 seasons.

It has been quite a run to get us here. Overall the performances could have been better, but today, it looks like things were really gelling.

It's games like this and Utd away which make me think the 'maybe next year' thing. And yes, I know we've been here a million times before but this is the first time for ages I've felt we've got a squad that can genuinely challenge. And these are the sort of games which we 'always' lose, this year we're not losing them. There are a few signs that things might just be different this time. The only question that remains is can we sustain this sort of form for a whole season.

Nope, just a calendar year.

In the first Wenger referendum thread you defined the sort of games we 'always' lose,
Today and Utd away fall under that definition.
Does that not show anything?

It was a joke.

But as you bring it up, this run is coming despite Wenger. His subs today (other than the one forced on him) were shocking.

Wenger tried his very best to fuck today up. The players kept their discipline and won despite him. That's what today tells us.
