Arsenal 3-Hull City 1

An exciting game yesterday even if we made it harder than it should have been, or clichy did at least. That was his poorest game i can remember but to be fair Mendy was a handful and nasri didnt help him defensively.

A lovely goal from nasri though and van persie is definitely our key player now since fabregas' injury he has been our creative force and has been scoring as well. Keep it up Robin.

Before kick off i was so disappointed that man u, chelski and villa all scraped wins when it looked liked they would drop points it would have been a great moral boost to have clawed back points on them. Anyway we won and will have to keep this run going for pretty much the rest of the season if we are to be champions. There is no margin for error at all.

Manucho looked good for hull and god knows how he ended up with a black eye from djourou and no penalty :). Oh well he's a Utd player and therefore deserves no sympathy.

Bendtner is at the moment much more effective as a sub. He came on full of running and energy and could have had a brace in 15 minutes which says a lot about his impact. Why is he so good on the wing compared to Eboue ? Maybe Eboue is just so bad that anyone looks great there ?

FA cup next week which i have a great feeling about this year. We have to beat cardiff and play our strongest line up to keep the consistency up. Maybe Arshavin will get a debut ? Hopefully Ramsey will get a game as well, it will be a great moment for him to go back to his home club and play well. I'm sure he'll get a good reception.

Till next time
