1) Half Vidic, Half Keown

Ver-ma-what? Twenty three years old? 5'11" ? All questions of the past, as the Belgian has taken to the Premier League like that old duck took to water. Not only has he formed an impressive partnership with a rejuvenated William Gallas, but is also topping the Arsenal goalscoring charts. Many have likened the "Verminator" to Manchester United center half Nemanja Vidic, more for his appearance, or even his "stare", but overall, the lad's more like a modern, Belgian Martin Keown. Not the best defender technically, but like Keown, more than makes up for it with a lot of heart and "bottle", as the English call it.

4) Ro-sick-y Steps Out Of The Treatment Room

It must have been like one of those scenes where a convict sees daylight after 15 years in prison, when Tomas Rosicky finally got off the treatment table, and made it to the ground. Rosicky is a class act in midfield, and his quality and experience is what Arsenal have missed immensely over the last year and a half. One of the "old" players at Arsenal at 29, his experience will come in handy this season for the Gunners.

7) Cesc Is All Smiles

Fabregas looked a shadow of himself last season. He hardly shaved throughout the campaign, and looked morose most of the times. Not surprising, if most of your best friends leave the club after a season in which you almost won the league title. Moreover, he seemed slightly burdened with captaincy, and looked a little lonely. Although the stubble's still there, the Spaniard looks a lot happier with his role in midfield this time around, and with players like Arshavin, Rosicky, and Vermaelen playing regularly, he looks happy and is back to his best, notching up a staggering four assists in a single game against Blackburn. And yes, he scored in that game too.

Life is good at the moment, boys!

That's an impressive collection of boogers on Rosicky's shirt.

11. FabregasTED doesn't dread waking up at 7:30am on a saturday to watch us struggle to break down Stoke or Hull and get punched in the face on the counter, only to gasp for a late goal and not get it, leaving him to be pissed off the rest of the weekend and possibly end his relationship with his girlfriend because she can't take the aggravated mood swings over a "silly game"

Life is actually more than good at the moment. We're gonna get something this season.

I think that's like vaporub or something. Most of the players come out with aa giant gob of goop on their jerseys during really cold games.

12. The void left by Martin Doust has been filled by a sense of pride and joy for the Arsenal board's achievements and future stability for the club to grow further than ever imagined. Martin was last seen leaving last season's AGM with his head down after Arsene assaulted his view of the club and questioned his allegiance.

I don't agree with the writer's statemate about Vermaelen's technique. I think he has tremdous technique and skill for a centerback. His touch seems to be very good and his passing has been excellent.
