Oh glorious football, you're back again. How I've missed you and all the joy you give me. I know, sometimes you cause me pain and I wish you never existed, but that's just me being human. What a treat you served up for us today; we put Fulham to the sword in a composed performance that mirrors the stuff of champions. Is it too soon to say we're contenders?

So that's 1 down and 37 more to go in this special season of football, it's up to us to build on this positive start as we face West Ham next week in yet another London Derby. Until we meet again, up the Arsenal
