I have a feeling that some media pundits will be deprived of their favourite subject with this immense Arsenal win.
Beating the Champions so convincingly will instill a new belief in this team : they can beat the big guns and they can win the league.
Wind-up merchants love to remind us of our poor record against Chelsea or Man U. But if there are only two big games in the Premier League, are they saying that the rest of the Premier League is rubbish?
And do not forget that the fact that Man U has not beaten Chelsea for EIGHT years at Stamford Bridge barely gets a mention.
Every season, Match of the Day or Sky Sports will tell you before or after every Arsenal win that this team cannot win the league because they do not beat the big boys.
Well now that we have beaten Chelsea so convincingly, I am looking forward to some of these media pundits eating humble pie.
I have said many times that I thought that we actually played well in our defeats against Chelsea and Man U recently but that things have not gone our way at crucial stages. The defeat at Chelsea this season was extremely unfortunate if you ask me.
Today, we played the same way we have played at Stamford Bridge. But instead of conceding on the stroke of half time - we scored just before and just after half-time.
A crucial difference led to an emphatic win.
A huge psychological barrier has been broken and remember that we played all the big sides away this season. This team has the quality and a result like this will give us the confidence needed to mount a very real title challenge this season.
