It was a comfortable victory last night. Arsenal are now looking like they are near to firing on all cylinders both offensively and defensively, which they haven't been for most of the season. All we need now is for Vermaelen to come back and for some of the players who aren't currently first choice such as Arshavin, Rosicky and Chamakh to start picking up a bit of form. Bendtner began to show a bit of form in the second half last night and his goal was a cracker.
The only downside was that Sagna went off in the first half with concussion, but he should be out for no more than two weeks at most. Eboue should fill in no problem in the meantime - that's the advantage of having a good squad.
In previous seasons I haven't been too bothered about the League Cup, but now I think that it could be a stepping stone to better things. Arsenal, ManUre and Chelsea have all won the League Cup in the past before going on to win more prestigious trophies and I don't think that's a coincidence.
It's a good time to be an Arsenal fan at the moment and I'm really looking forward to each successive match as it comes along. It's a pity Blackpool couldn't at least hold on to get a draw against Blackpool, but you can't have everything. Luckily, ManUre still have some hard matches, including playing Chelsea twice, so they have plenty of opportunities to drop points. Arsenal just have to do their bit.
Next up are Huddersfield in the FA Cup and I'm expecting nothing less than an impressive victory.
Oh yeah, one final thing - we're going to Wem-ber-ley!
Come on Arsenal!
