up 3-0 right now in the 2nd half over Blackburn. this will be 43 straight undefeated matches to break Nottingham Forest's record of 42 straight games 25 years ago.

GO GUNNERS!

Blech! Arse are, unfortunately, still the team to beat in the EPL.

I got a chance to watch a replay of the Middlesborough match...wow!. They owned them like I have never seen anyone own a team. 80% (!) of possesion in the first half.

yeah i watched a little bit of that replay as well. i just wanted to watch the first 25 minutes of the 2nd half to see Arsenal go from tied 1-1 to down 3-1 to up 4-3. didn't watch the whole thing to see it 5-3. great game!

Keep in mind it's Boro. They're owned by everyone.

No doubt Boro isn't a top team but they're not at the bottom either. If memory serves me correctly they were middle of the table last year and the one thing they could do was prevent goals. 80% possession in a half is awesome no matter who you play.

In all honesty, Boro were lucky to score 3 as 2 where a result of defensive errors.

Boro is a step better this season now that they have Hasselbaink up front.

Arsenal is so damn great...how the heck the other team gonna stop them ?

I wish JFH had stayed with Chelsea. He can be a clutch performer.

Arsenal has proven that they are a first-rate club in England...but they really need to do well in the Champions League this year. that'll be the real test. they haven't been too impressive in Europe the past couple years.
