Seven from nine a satisfying return

A SEVEN-POINT return from games at home to Chelsea and on the road at Wigan and Birmingham is not to be sneezed at.

Nine would’ve been a blinder and Arsene received bundles of stick (from me included) for rotating his team for our trip to the northwest lastWednesday night.

But perhaps Wenger was vindicated by the emphatic way in which wevanquished a more obdurate opponent in the midlands on Saturday.
