Eight ball in the hole
As Mexxx stated in early December and Zen Guru Wenger said today..
It was a succinct appraisal. This was not Arsenal at full throttle and Arsène Wenger, the manager, admitted as much. “We controlled the game in the first half,” he said, “and then in the second we controlled it without pushing ourselves. West Ham did not come out to challenge us and our defence was happy to keep a clean sheet, so we did not take too many chances. We have had a very successful Christmas. We had five difficult games [Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur at home, Portsmouth and Everton away, plus this one] and came out with four wins and a draw [against Portsmouth]. We went into it top of the league and we have come out the same way.
