From 8-2 to 5-3!!!!!!!!

From Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas leaving the club to a humiliating 8-2 loss against Man United to the owner Stan appreciaitng the Glazers Arsenal F.C has become a "controversy kid". People had lost faith and all hopes of this club even close to breaking into the top 4 had been lost. They disapproved of the policies of the manager. With the headlines as

"The continuing inability of Arsène Wenger's side to turn possession into goals against Udinese underlines the shallowness of their resources" - The Guardian


"Arsenal's dramatic decline"- The Sun






            all hopes were certainly lost and rightly so. But who would have thought that come October this declining club would start their ascent to the top??!!!!
             With Man City having such a solid team, the ambitions of AFC would be to come into the top 4 and that truly has been agreed by the Arsenal Manager


"We are not aiming for the title"- Arsene Wenger.






              But by splashing the cash on the transfer deadline day Arsene has bought in experience and quality, thus, adding solidarity to the defence as well as the midfield. With likes of Arteta, Per,Santos ,Gervinho and Benayoun Arsenal look altogether a different side.


               9 wins out of the last 11 and remaining unbeaten Arsenal have surely turned a corner. Their talismatic captain Robin "Vantstic" has propelled Arsenal to the 7th spot from a dismal relegation place. Their passing exhibition in the last game against West Brom has got even Van Der Vaat quoting that if Arsenal continue their present form Tottenham's  dreams of breaking into the top 4 will be shattered.


          With Man United feeling the pinch after losing 6-1 to their rivals, Chelsea losing back to back derbies and Liverpool in declining form, now is the perfect time for Arsene to start his ascent.


            But we really need to wait till December end before making any judgements. Surprise package Newcastle have joined at the top. They surely are looking to ruin everyones day. But surely that wont continue for long. City will have a dip in form and string together some poor run of games and the top 7 games will decide who will emerge victorious. But one thing for sure from the 8-2 mauling at Old Trafford to a 5-3 carnage at Stamford Arsenal have surely resurrected their season.

The table at the end of May 2012 as i see it


1. United
2. City/Arsenal
3.Arsenal/City
4.Chelsea 
5.Liverpool
6.Tottenham
7. Newcastle
