Arsenal 1 - 1 Tottenham (Yes I Know Its Late (The Thing About Arsenal's Young Guns)).

Is that every time I watch them play, dazzled by their skill and determination, I can't help but remember that some of these guys are at least a year younger than me. I love them to death, I really do, but the fact that these teenagers (probably still going through puberty) are wearing an Arsenal jersey and playing for the team that I have loved for over a decade just get me all jealous. Hell, if I ever met any of them in real life, I would probably compliment (read: drool all over) them while I hold down their wind pipe as they slowly choke.

Lucky bastards.

Burnley 0 - 2 Arsenal

To be honest, the match didn't surprise me. Burnley put up a hell of a fight and were playing better during large patches of the game. The red card seemed harsh, but I'm not going to turn down such an advantage. The two goals showed the ability of one Eduardo and the potential of young Bendtner. Time to get ready for the derby on Thursday.

You can tell I'm half asleep while writing this, can't you?

Arsenal 2 - 0 West Ham

To be quite honest, the second half was a bit of a snooze. The first was entertaining, especially with a goal being netted before I even had enough time to get my ass comfy on the couch. But one thing that that I realize about the current generation of players is that they are more than capable to score goals from long balls and not just intricate passing (which has been overused in recent history).

I need to sleep now.

Everton 1 - 4 Arsenal

That score does not in anyway reflect the sort of game played. It was scruffy, physical, and lots of starts and stops accompanying the many cards handed out. Bendtner's sending off shows that careless tackles (e.g. the one that landed his first yellow), really do bite you in the arse. It's such a shame, especially after the Dane's winning goal against Spurs last week showed everyone his potential. Give him time, and the kid (he's a year younger than me so I have the right to call him "kid") will surely kick ass.

But having said that, IT SURE DOES FEEL FUCKING GOOD TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE AGAIN.

(PS: Thank you West Ham for beating M.U.)
