9 in a row

The Gunners took a step closer towards qualification to the knockout stage in the Champions League with a Robin van Persie strike in the 76th minute.

At the final whistle, Arsenal became the first English side to beat Steaua Bucharest. Only saw the goal highlights…Van Persie did lashed out a good strike. Fab4 had an incredible miss from close range early in the match.

It was great to see Hleb up and running after that injury he got from the West Ham match. I guess it might not be a vintage Arsenal performance. I rather called it controlled with a few scares.

It is now a superb run of nine consecutive victories for Arsenal in all competitions. There is already talks of going unbeaten and emulating the form and consistency back in 2003-04. It is early days….for me, just enjoy the moment. Tops in the Premiership and group H in the Champions League. So, there might not be a need for a new Thierry Henry to emerge in the Arsenal ranks after all. Just keep winning.

My wishlist….also that our local cable operator could at least try showing the Slavia Prague match in three weeks’ time. Is that too much to ask?
