What a week for Arsenal football club. And boy did they need it after morale demolishing defeats at AC Milan and Sunderland within the space of four days.
Last Sunday’s incredible win over their great rivals was arguably the best Arsene Wenger’s men have played all season long and they followed it up with another resilient display today a week later. It put the Gunners firmly in control of fourth spot ahead of Chelsea, Newcastle and Liverpool whilst their confidence will be boosted ahead of their Champions League date with AC Milan at the Emirates Stadium. They face a monumental task of clawing back a four goal deficit but with Robin Van Persie firing on all cylinders anything is possible.
This week on FFC discussions have centred around whether the club should do all they can to tie down RVP, are some players not pulling their weight and could Lukas Podolski be the first name through the Emirates revolving door in the summer?

“People will see now that Arsenal are alive more than anyone thought before the game. The performance today showed spirit. From the technical side, and with the drive of the whole team and style that we want to play, everything was perfect despite a very bad start. Spurs started well in the first five minutes, but it was all us for the next 85 minutes. We were 2-0 down but refused to lose the game and kept going.” Arsene Wenger reflecting on Arsenal’s 5-2 win over North London rivals Tottenham (The Guardian).
