Gunn-believable!

Kammy hails Arsenal's heroics as he picks out the best of another wonderful weekend in the Premier League.

Kammy's picks of the Premier League weekend

What a great game! Just wonderful! Arsenal against Manchester United was fantasy football of the highest order and I loved every minute of it. The standard of that game at The Emirates was so high that you just wouldn't find it anywhere else in world football. You could sell that anywhere and no-one, not the Spanish, not the Italians, could come up with anything to match it. To see two top teams really going for it, for the whole game, was a sight to behold and just what the Premier League is about. I do think a lot more teams are going for it now in terms of attack and it's great to watch. Stoke try to attack teams when they can, West Brom do and we all know that Phil Brown and Hull go for it all the time. It is so refreshing to see fantasy football being played, especially when the start of the season was more like Footballers' Wives or Dream Team, because there was so much stuff going on off the field. On it though, you couldn't find fault with anything we saw at The Emirates. That second goal from Arsenal just about summed it up and capped what could me a massive win for Arsenal. I did think that they were playing United at the worst possible time as well. They destroyed Celtic in the Champions League, even if they didn't win, so were coming into this game on a high and were looking pretty invincible. Arsenal, in contrast, had a week to forget. I do think Arsene Wenger shouldn't have come out and said what he did about Stoke, certainly 48 hours after saying Tony Pulis' men were worthy winners.

Pressure

The fact that he is not a good loser is actually one of his strengths in many ways, but he was wrong to try and single out certain challenges, especially when Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin van Persie were guilty of pretty bad ones themselves. Wenger's remarks led to the media outcry and put all the pressure on his shoulders going into Saturday's game, but Arsenal got their goals at the right time, United missed their chances and that proved the difference. Arsenal are the best footballing team I have seen in the Premier League since it started and nothing will make me change my mind on that. Samir Nasri's second goal was a masterclass in how top-class players operate, how they work the ball and find space for themselves. It just goes to show that things can change so quickly in football and right now Arsene Wenger is being feted again. And he deserves to be.

Kammy's picks of the weekend...

GAME - Arsenal 2-1 Manchester United
It can only be one. It was just a fantastic game and wonderful advert for the Premier League. You could sell that game to anyone in the world as the best football around and no-one could argue with it. It was great to see two, top, top sides going for it, right to the last. Arsenal still keep trying to shoot and go for goal at the end instead of eating up time and I have to admit, when six minutes went up on the fourth official's board, I thought we were into 'Fergie time'. But Arsenal kept going for it and got what they deserved this time. GOAL - Samir Nasri's second
Just a wonderful, wonderful goal, the epitome of what Arsenal are all about. On Goals on Sunday we highlighted a similar one against Blackburn earlier in the season, but this was even better. A full minute on the ball and 15 passes, when they went down the right, down the left, looked to the middle, turned back and then went through the middle again before picking Nasri out. He is clearly another fantastic pick from Wenger and he just knows where to place himself - as we saw with his first - and well, we all know he can finish now, too! SAVE - Jussi Jaaskelainen v King & Geovanni
Jussi Jaaskelainen made four big, big saves in that game; two were world-class, the other two were just brilliant! The double save to deny Marlon King and then Geovanni was just unbelievable. To stop the first one when it was almost behind him was one thing, but to then get up and flick the ball away was something else. Jussi just had one of those days where everything went for him and it wouldn't have mattered what Hull City threw at him, he'd have kept it out. Matty Taylor might have got the Bolton goal, but Jaaskelainen won them the game. PLAYER - Robbie Keane
It has been a while coming, but it was nice to see Robbie Keane get his first Premier League goals for Liverpool. And both of them were typical Keane goals, just like he used to score when he was playing for Spurs. Both were top-class finishes from a top-class player and you would expect him now to go on a decent run and get more goals. It was always going to take time for his new team-mates to know where he is and how he plays, but because he is not a foreign player coming into the Premier League people were on his back straight away. Now he has got that goals, people will forget the huge price tag that was weighing him down GAFFER - Arsene Wenger
There were great wins for Roy Hodgson and Gary Megson, but it has to be Arsene Wenger after the week he's been through. In hindsight, when he looks back, he might think he shouldn't have said what he said about Stoke City, because it was disrespectful. But, it showed he is only human and it also showed the pressure he was under - for the first time ever it was from his own supporters as well. People have said Wenger needs to change his philosophy, but he won the league playing the beautiful game and he went a whole season playing the beautiful game, so why should he? All he might have to do is pick certain players for certain games he knows won't be nicey-nicey, but the win over Manchester United was a triumph for him as well as his players. TEAM - Arsenal
A brilliant performance. The game against Spurs recently had everything in terms of excitement and quality, but Arsenal took it up a notch here. We are talking about control, dribbling, tackling, scoring goals, everything here and Arsenal were on their game in every department. A tremendous team display from a terrific side. GRIPE - Unlucky 13 for Purse
I was at Loftus Road for Soccer Saturday to see Darren Purse get the 13th red card of his career. There can't be many players who have had as many red cards as big Darren but I've got to say there is no way he should've been sent off. Yes, his foot was high but, so was Lee Cook's. I spoke to Lee and he said it wasn't a red card; David Jones was absolutely livid and of course Darren didn't think it was a red card either. And neither did I. In fact the only person who seemed to think it was was the referee, Lee Probert. Yet I watched Manchester City-Spurs the next day and Gelson Fernandes goes over the top in exactly the same manner but gets a yellow. Cardiff meanwhile, end up playing 70 minutes with 10 men and losing. It's still that question of interpretation. I am not sure that video technology will help either, because the fourth official is going to see it and come up with the same opinion as the ref, because these are not football people. We need a panel of ex-footballers to make decisions on incidents like these, people that know the game and people that have played the game.

Kammy - if you were Sir Alex Ferguson what would you do with Rooney, Berbatov, Tevez and Ronaldo? I am worried that Tevez will have to leave just because he is not getting enough game time? Personally, as good as he is, I am starting to wonder whether United actually needed Dimi at all! How can Fergie keep them all happy - and keep us winning big games? Jez Peters
KAMMY SAYS: It's hard to question a legend like Sir Alex Ferguson as to what he needs in his side but in my opinion, the one thing that United have is too many players who play outside the box. They just don't have that goal-poacher who stays in the box to get on the end of all those chances they create. Carlos Tevez has never been one to play right up the top, Dimitar Berbatov is never going to be a penalty-box player and in fact the only who could do it, is possibly Wayne Rooney. That might come later in his career though, because Wayne is still very young and whether he wants to be doing that now, I'm not sure. I am not in anyway shape or form questioning Sir Alex, but when I look at it, the lack of a Ruud van Nistelrooy or an Andy Cole might be the only thing that could prevent them from winning a major trophy. As for the Tevez situation, you would have to say that right now, it looks as if he will have to leave because he is not going to want to be a bit-part player. He is only on loan as well and there is talk of a £30million price tag, which in the current climate, is pretty high I suppose. Only time will tell on that one and we'll have to wait and see what happens in January. ZOLA POWER
Hi Chris - love the column, love Goals on Sunday. Seeing as you had Curbs on yesterday's show, I wanted to ask you what you think about Gianfranco Zola. Yes, he is one of football's nice guys and clearly a lovely lad but I am starting to get a little worried. What with the money apparently drying up and the Hammers on a run of just two wins in nine under Zola, things are not looking good. I admit that he is going to need time to stamp his mark on the side and Mark Noble recently said it would take two years to do just that, but if this goes on, we will end up being relegated this year! Having seen his teams and tactics for a while now, what have you made of him so far? Anthony Smith
KAMMY SAYS: Well for 80 minutes they were head and shoulders above Everton, Anthony, it was just that last 10 minutes that lost them the game. It suggests that there isn't that much wrong with Zola's West Ham. I did make the point on Goals on Sunday though, that they looked a little tired and just got sloppy at the back, allowing Everton too much space. It was then that their strength and stamina came into play. West Ham are a little up and down under Zola, but he is learning about the management game, learning about himself every day, and he must have aged 20 years in 10 minutes on Saturday! He was on the point of going into that dressing room and telling his side how well they'd played but had to go in there and try and wrok out how they lost it. That is bound to affect his demeanour and the only way you can learn to cope with these situations as a manager is through experience. But you still have to give Zola more time. West Ham still have terrible injuries which should win him some time with the fans and another big plus in that respect is that he is also blooding younsgers like James Collison. Other than than that, it is still really Curbs' team, so we can't really judge Zola just yet.
