Three goals, a clean sheet, an opponent thoroughly dominated: what more could any of us asked for? Of course, three points is the only real target from any league game but consistency, stability, vivacity - these are all bonuses that point towards a team in form and in control. There's a lot more ground to … Continue reading Arsenal 3 Nottingham Forest 0: I can’t argue with that…
