| Jack Wilshere in action against Southampton |
I know I haven't posted in awhile...and that extends longer than the last international break. I apologise for that, I let university and work take over my life. But I want to get back into blogging to improve my writing skills and football knowledge. If I don't post again after the next game, hold me accountable on Twitter (@KiwiGoonerGirl) and force me to post something. Even if it's a selfie in my Arsenal jersey. I can do that.
Anyway, enough with the apologies. On to the game. Arsenal have been having a fantastic season so far. I think there is more to it than the signing of Mesut Özil, although he has added consistency and firepower to the midfield. The team just have a lot of confidence at the moment and are playing really great football, which is fantastic to see.
Arsenal played better than a goalkeeper blunder and penalty show for it. 2-0 is a score that does not really reflect the game. Some fantastic chances in the first half, notably Jack Wilshere's "saved-by-the-post" attempt and Aaron Ramsey's attempted back heel were really great to see. Only a player with a lot of confidence would try and put that into the back of the net, and Ramsey is having a great season.
Wojciech Szczesny had another great game, keeping a clean sheet and making some good saves. Congratulations on signing a new contract. He is a passionate gunner and a great asset to the team.
It was also good to see Theo Walcott finally back from injury. He didn't make much of an impact in the second half but his pace was, as always, important and it is good for him to ease back into the squad. I am personally happy to see him back!
Overall, Arsenal had a commanding performance and really played like title contenders. Southampton have been having a great season too, which cannot be ignored. They have some quality players and did challenge Arsenal at times, but were no match for the on-form Gunners.
Keep being awesome.

Sidenote: Should I start a video blog? Would anyone listen to my ramblings about Arsenal? It's not all fangirlling, I swear.
