Yes, those of you who put your trust in Wenger might “8-2” be a Gooner at this moment of time but the home game against Swansea should be nothing short of a cakewalk for the much maligned Arsene Wenger.

The team, the manager, and the management have all been berated in the press after that fateful night at the 'Theatre of Dreams' but surely improvement is just round the corner as the injury cloud clears up at the Emirates. The Gunners hit rock bottom and the manager finally loosened his purse strings on deadline day. Mikel Arteta, Peter Mertesacker, Andre Santos and Park Chu Young were added to the squad in a bid to stop the rot. Yoss Benayoun also became a Gunner and the Arsenal medical department will surely be kept busy and not just tending to the likes of Van Persie and Rosicky.

Arteta in an Arsenal shirt is an interesting proposition and after years of outstanding service for the blue half of Merseyside it will certainly feel a bit odd seeing the Spaniard in the red and white of the North London giants. Arsenal, one of the biggest clubs in England and one intending to stay that way, needed this new lease of life. Hopefully the new acquisitions will usher in a new dawn at Arsenal, bring back the fight and more importantly some pride.

A little fact for Arsenal fans to be optimistic about: During Arsene Wenger's reign, Arsenal has averaged more points per game (2.10) than any other Premier League team in the month of September.

Will Arteta be Arsenal's saviour?
