After 13 matchdays, Arsenal has 26 points, 8 wins, 2 draws, 3 defeats. That's one point more than last season after 13 games. Arsenal are second, 2 points behind leader Chelsea (28 points) and one point in front of ManU. Despite the pre-season expectations, rising stars City and Spurs have disappointed so far. City is still fourth (22 points) and Spurs seventh with 19 points. Arsenal and Chelsea both lost three games. Arsenal lost to West Brom and Newcastle home but snatched good away wins at Everton, City and Blackburn. Yet again, an unimpressive ManU with Rooney injured in half the games, manages to remain fully in the race thanks to their resilience, having come from being several times. The only undefeated team also had seven draws.
I have been twice at the Emirates stadium so far this season: the West Ham game (1-0) and the Braga game in Champion's League (6-0). 26 points in 13 games is a good performance considering difficult fixtures (Chelsea, City, Liverpool and Everton away) and the many injuries: Van Persie and Bendtner missed almost all of it, Vermaelen too, Walcott half of it. When we played Chelsea, Fabregas, Van Persie, Bendtner, Walcott were all missing. Drogba on the other side, was there, and scored, as usual. Thank god Chamakh and Wilshere have been fantastic.
