Default Arsenal are still top of the league after 7 games!

What's going on? Even Wilshere's scored now! It's odd, as he hardly ever scores. Also, I don't think he has many assists, not that I remember seeing anyway. It's unusual for an attacking player. But he always drops too deep, imho. He does plenty of forward runs and always passes forwards (i.e the opposite of Gareth Barry), but when you watch him, it's usually in his own half, which is a bit odd. You'd think he'd watch Ozil and Ramsey this season and think 'hang on, that's not what I'm doing...' Maybe he's too busy smoking?!

I hope Wenger invests further in January. I'd like another striker and a centre back. Wenger's refusal to buy another centre back is baffling. Do you remember when Arshavin signed? We weren't doing that well and everyone seemed to think we needed a centre back. Wenger bought Arshavin and it worked. A centre back would probably have worked too, but he refused to do this. I'm not complaining about the attacking football, obviously, but if he'd signed a centre back then, it could've made all the difference in the next few seasons. Arshavin only really made a difference that season, before all his confidence somehow evaporated.
