never shouldve doubted..

some arsenal fan i am huh?? thinking villa could take 3 while fabregas, in 28 minutes, won the game on his own..

came onto the pitch as a substitute in the 56th minute..and right away he established himself as the star with a 40meter free kick that just missed over the top...after that it was vintage gunners..play looked smoother to what was already an entertaining 3 and 4 match-up..latter stages of the game was when arsenal proves their seriousness in competing for the league crown..traore delivers a beautiful cross to sub theo walcott, and setup fabregas with a nice pass where fabby shot in stride to double their lead...good yes?? no..during celebration, you could easily see the hamstring injury affecting him as he was seen limping..concerns filled the faces of fans and coaches as the captain's extraordinary performance came to an unfortunate end with aaron ramsey coming on for him in the 84th..game was basically over but abou diaby made it 2 in 2 weeks with his stoppage time goal to seal it..

kudos to villa though..played well i thought until fabregas came on..played and looked like top 4 material..
final result: 3-0
sorry, this game was too tempting to not watch

with chelsea's recent performance spiking terribly..arsenal seems to have finally found their form again after it was thought to be lost after international break earlier in the season. getting 13 of possible 15 in the last 5 matches..gunners go from champion wanna-be a month ago to true contenders...AND with a vital game in hand(btw when do we make that up?) its a possible 1 point margin from paradise..north london has to be ecstatic..and for good reason.. ^_^
