An early goal from Edu was cancelled out by a first-half Crespo strike. Arsenal grab all three points when Henry bangs home the winner in the 75th thanks to a rare gaffe from Cudicini.
Arsenal beat Newcastle, Liverpool and Chelsea and draw, at Old Trafford, with Man United. Excellent.
I was very critical of the Arsenal about a month ago and figured we would get six, rather than 10 out of 12 points. Could on ya’ Gunners.

Oh yee of little faith Rick. You should know by now that Arsenal are at their most dangerous when people write them off. It was about a month ago after those two disasters against Portsmouth and Inter where everybody was questioning whether we had the desire to compete at the highest level. Sure enough against the manure we answered those critics by putting what I consider our best performance so far this season, although the gloss was taken off it with all the shenanigans that happened at the end of that game. Once again, everybody was dragging Arsenal’s good name through the mud. Everyone was saying that our Premiership title chances would blow up in our faces, because the FA would throw the book at us with suspensions and fines as well as coping with upcoming games against Newcastle, Liverpool and Chelsea. Well one month on, look what’s happened…..WE’RE STILL TOP OF THE LEAGUE UNBEATEN! WE BEAT NEWCASTLE, LIVERPOOL AND CHELSEA! AND IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE FINES AND SUSPENSIONS WON’T BE AS SEVERE AS SOME PEOPLE HAD PREDICTED AS ARSENAL HAVE ADMITTED THEIR GUILT IN WHAT HAPPENED AT OT LAST MONTH! What made my day today was sitting next to this Chelsea fan whose well known out here for his radio show whose been giving me grief about what’s been happening to his beloved team and how the FA should literally throw Arsenal out of the league for what happened in Manchester…..to see the look on his boat race (face) at the final whistle was a sight to behold:)Happy days indeed at THOF and for all Gooners worldwide:)

STRONGLY AGREE with Galaxy’s commentary… as it was HERE on Arsenal America that many people were talking up the demise of Arsenal as we know it…. that we were DONE! that truly is a JOKE…
We have had an excellent run of matches… stand top of the table, undefeated in League action…
and if we can WIN our next CL match, then we will be looking really good.
Good defensive game… Lehman looked good, and Kolo looks fan-freaking-tastic at the back… Sol was very solid as usual…
Pires played an excellent match… he tracked back quite often to help the defenders… outstanding…
and KANU made a rare appearance and I think the way he played merits more playing time… he put a terrific ball thru for Henry… headed a corner off the crossbar… and was very sharp…
GREAT JOB TODAY GUNNERS!!!!!!!!!

Proud to be a Gunner today and everyday.

The Chelsea fans in the block next to us waved wads of cash at us and sang “shall we buy a team for you” well by the end of the game we were singing, to the tune of the “She’ll be coming round the mountain”….
“You can stick your fcuking money up your arse” followed by “You should’ve bought a keeper”
Happy days indeed
“You’ll never beat The Arsenal. You’ll never beat The Arsenal”
