Why do some people not think Arsenal deserve the position we're in in the league? Sure we've had easy games, but you can only beat what's in front of you. We've played welll in every game this season so far. In fact the game against Dortmund was one of our worst performances this season and it still wasn't terrible. With a bit more luck, we might have one (Rosicky's shot, Carzola's bar hit). Like seriously what will take for some people top see us as genuine contenders, beating Chelsea, City, Liverpool and United? OK then, I'm looking forward to those games.
Arsenal deserve to be top of the league because they've dealt with what's been in front of them, but being league favourites is different from being top after 8 games. Arsenal are contenders at the moment along with the rest of the top 5, but the next couple of months will see the squad of every team tested. Arsenal need to win a couple of those big games and they need to start resting players, otherwise they will burn out. Ozil already looks totally knackered.
