It feels good to be top of the league. Now that Arsenal is top of the English premier League Table, we look back at 5 things learnt from the win.

Going ballistic : this is how it feels to be top of the Premier League |
1. Ozil is a lazy magician
Ozil is a lazy magician in the sense that he's not the best player when you rate him Stamina-wise.... But Yet, he does Orchestrate something special out of a football match.
He is always the engineer in the team, engineering delicate moves that often win matches...

The assist manager : he drives the ball straight into the net beating a helpless Boruc |
He's been doing so in so many matches so far this season and today's outstanding performance wasn't any difference....
He'll pick the ball, curl it with pinpoint precision Into the head or feet of is teammates and alas! It's a goal!....
For me I believe he's lazy, I know you may not agree, but it's my opinion, I may be wrong.
I think so because he is nowhere near the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey and Danny welbeck when you talk of Stamina..... But the surprise is in spite of the Stamina deficiency, he's excel extraordinarily.
Why? I don't know. But I think, the precision of his passes... His record of assist and even goals makes the argument about his Stamina irrelevant and unnecessary.
He is the king of assist with a couple of goals too. So far this season he's scored 3 Goals and assisted 16 .. And from that I'm officially proclaiming him as being at Lionel Messi's level... If you like, say what you want, it won't change my resolve though.
2. Arsenal now have the required squad depth.
Arsenal has always been getting close to winning the league in some recent years,
But the issue has always been that at crucial times like today when we're expected to capitalize on our rivals slip up we've always fail to do so .
This has send a wrong message out about our title credentials.... But with this latest win there is a room and need for optimism.
The win against Bournemouth further confirms that we the gunners are more than capable to win the league. I'm sure other teams' fan will think otherwise. But we know our strength. We can do it.
3. Arsenal is missing the Coq but we are coping
The loss against the Saints surely further highlighted how much our Midfield powerhouse Coquelin has been missed...
The 'pit ball' like he's being called by his teammates has been undeniably missed in the team for his passion, interception, winning of aerial duels, last-ditch blockages...

Do you personally miss the passionate pitball? |
You can name whatever more you missed about him, for me I think the list of what the French man brings to the team goes on and on like I listed above..
Well missed! Yeah! That's the truth, but have we been coping? I'll say yes! we have, but not effectively.... But, see... Let's be frank here, we don't expect things to be the same when injury ravages a team like ours...
So I'll regard our level of coping without some of our notable star players as been acceptable and not perfect. So it's safe to say that Arsenal is coping without their star players.
4. Fans should stop nagging and give the manager the full support he and the team deserves
After the debacle at Saint Mary, the melt down on Twitter and every social media though well anticipated was overly blown out of proportion by some Arsenal faithful.
Truly a win against the Saints would have gotten us to the top of the table and today's win would have given us an additional advantage like leading with some reasonable gap.
However, with how true the above statement may sound... Becoming petulant as a response to the inability to achieve it is an overreaction. Wenger deserves more respect and such respect should be accorded to him.
I once told a friend of mine who's also a gunner that if you give Arsene say a three-year with no key player sold or leaving, he'll win you the league.
But he never agree with me. Well, that's how confident I am in him. I believe he's still got his mojo. And I plead with every fan to be as optimistic as I am and stop being gullible by calling for Wenger's head.
Remember man United and Chelsea and the dilemma they're both facing now. So watch what you wish for yourself and Arsenal.
5. Cech Is a saviour
Jesus presented himself as a ransom sacrifice to his Father Jehovah God as an atonement for the sin of every mankind says the Bible.

The record breaker : 170 clean sheets |
In like manner, Petr Cech in Arsenal squad this season has proved to be more of a saviour who saves Arsenal points than just a keeper who saves balls. And these points could prove to be the deciding factor come the end of the season.
Now he has a record of 170 Clean sheets in the Premier League one more than the previous record holder David James .... That's a milestone isn't? That's what a world class goalkeeper brings to a team.
He's arguably proved to be so much important to our team that dropping him anytime now will be suicidal. I'm sure even Wenger won't dare to do that. Let's just hope and pray he continues in such form.
Conclusion
We've won today and we're f***ing top of the damn League..it's a dream come true. Let's hope it lasts till the end of the season and be crowned the Champions of England. Well, most importantly, let's pray we win our next match. Until then. Bye gooners. Leave your comments.
