Van Persie: Gunners can be unstoppable

ROBIN VAN PERSIE always had a feeling Arsenal would come good this season and reckons Arsene Wenger’s young Gunners can develop into the unstoppable force of English football once again.

The Dutch man was on target against Steaua Bucharest to ensure a ninth straight win for the Premier League leaders, who maintained their perfect start in Europe to put themselves in the driving seat to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages.

It has certainly been an impressive opening two months of the new campaign by a squad which was supposed to struggle without the services of talisman Thierry Henry, who left for Barcelona during the summer.
