Arsenal fans have officially stopped mourning their mediocre start to the season to concentrate on more pressing matters (such as pointing out that Spurs have had an even worse start to the 2006/07 campaign).
A 3-0 home win against Sheffield United with their north London rivals losing by the same margin at Liverpool has worked wonders for morale around the apparently no longer cursed Emirates Stadium.
This cheeky ‘Mind the Gap’ league table serves only to highlight Spurs’ woeful start – fourth from botton with just four points from six games. Meanwhile, the Gunners can now sleep easy knowing that if they win their game in hand they will soon be mixing it with the likes of Reading and Aston Villa. [Via Gunnerblog]
