Arsenal are on the up!

Five wins in a row in the Premier League; it didn’t appear that such a run of form was possible after the disastrous start to the season, just three months ago.
However Wenger and the new captain Robin van Persie, turned things around. And boy do I feel like an ass for doubting Wenger’s ability to lead Arsenal into the future, with the departures of Fabregas and Nasri.
Fabregas in particular was thought to be Arsenal’s most valuable player. But with his mind set on a move to Barcelona, he had become a liability to the team, and was in fact a negative influence which probably contributed to some of the embarrassing losses they suffered.
Perhaps van Persie’s true talent was never really appreciated while Fabregas was around, but his true value has finally come to the fore. Not only is he scoring freely [currently the Premiership’s leading scorer], he has probably been instrumental in inspiring Arsenal’s turnaround.
But will he renew his contract and elect to stay at Arsenal? If anybody can convince him to stay, it has to be Wenger…

A worthy post. Probably the best player in the league right now and simply outstanding time and again for Arsenal. A pleasure to watch.
Thanks kickingsport, I’m hoping he breaks a few records this season.
