Hardly a surprise then that Arsenal did not win this afternoon against a mediocre Sunderland side.
The question before the game was how would Arsenal cope without Robin van Persie and the truth is not very well.
Podolski did not look the German superstar he is in his own country, Giroud came on late, missed a sitter and I swear you could see the letters on the back of his shirt change to Bendtner.
The Gunners never played bad, but it was not awe inspiring and one can only hope that it is a case of first day blues, it is a newish team after all and they will need time to gel.
That said, the fans can be forgiven for feeling a little bit frustrated at the result today, it is hard to really look forward with too much anticipation if we cannot beat Sunderland at home.
Overall, disappointed, slightly pissed off but remaining hopeful

we missed very decent chances. overall we played well, and I can see Steve Bould’s influence on our back-line..they hardly ruffled us, well organized and disciplined. Am I the only one who thinks that Mertersacker should be a regular at the heart of our defense…? He could play a whole game without putting one foot wrong..
No confidence.Bad decision to sell RVP.The fans are frustrated while the board is enjoying the proceeds of the RVP sale.I have no more interest in Arsenal F.C.
And the AKBs will still keep the ‘In Arsene We Trust’ banner, no matter what.
@ Mario, so you would have preferred an unhappy Van Persie in a half-hearted display in an Arsenal shirt, right? Some of you are unbelievable! Because we didn’t score a goal against Sunderland now some ass holes think it would all have been different with Van Persie around?
Is RVP better than Podolski, Carzola and Giroud put together? How better were our performances against minnows last season with RVP around. Some of you gunner are pathetic and can be really annoying!
