Wednesday night's win at Wolves leaves this Gooner is a strange predicament. How well is our season actually going? The win in the Black Country certainly helped ease the mood after the trudging performance against Newcastle on Sunday. Make no mistake, Wolves are very strong at home; giving a good account of themselves against Chelsea and away at Manchester United. But are we Gooners becoming too pessimistic? A case of glass half empty or half full? There are two sides to every story after all…

Half Full - Fabianski was outstanding at Wolves, and made up for costing us the game on Sunday by winning it for us on Wednesday, as he did against Man City and West Ham. His point blank save in the dying minutes and his quick distribution lead to Chamakh's last minute goal to settle the game.

Half Empty - Fabianski suffers from inconsistency and in many ways is the embodiment of Arsenal at the moment. Superb one game, yet prone to basic errors in the next. Until there is a general level of consistency over 20 games, this Arsenal side will never challenge for the title and Fabianski will never be a top keeper.

Half Full - In the last 4 league games, Arsenal have only conceded one goal. Considering we arguably have a dodgy keeper and our key first choice defender missing (along with rather a unintelligent full back - Clichy I am pointing at you) this is very encouraging. In fact only Man City (and their numerous defensive midfielders) and Chelsea have conceded less. Djourou was once again superb at Molineux and with Koscielny suspended he may have a fight to regain his first team place.

Half Empty - We rode our luck on Wednesday and against the top teams we will give away plenty of chances. How many last ditch tackles and goal line clearances can we really get away with? Of the 11 goals conceded, nearly half came in 2 games - 2 conceded away at Chelsea, 3 conceded at home against WBA. Wenger claimed that the most you can concede is 28 goals, at this rate we are conceding a goal a game - do the maths. Also for the next 2 games we only have 2 recognised central defenders; if one or both were to pick up injuries (which in our case is more than likely considering one of them is called Djourou) we could face another defensive crisis.

Half Full - Our away form is encouraging, we have only lost at fortress Stamford Bridge, defeated Man City who are very strong at home, along with Blackburn, whilst the point at Anfield suddenly looks a bonus considering the Scousers are gaining momentum and beat Chelski on Sunday. A point at Sunderland may also be handy in May.

Half Empty - We are dropping an alarming number of points at home. We have lost to 2 newly promoted sides and such teams are happy to sit back, soak up the pressure and wait for Arsenal to make a simple mistake. Both losses were completely due to goalkeeping errors, and if Wenger had bought a top class keeper in the summer, we may have been 1 point clear of Chelski at this stage.

Half Full - Chamakh has been a revelation this season, in the usual absence of RVP and the Dane who wears pink boots, he has been a shining star. The Moroccan gives us an extra dimension due to his aerial threat, and influences the game by winning penalties and forcing the opposition to make errors. With 9 goals in all competitions already, 25 for the season is not impossible. If not the player of the season so far, surely the bargain of the season, considering he was a free transfer?

Half Empty - Is he living on borrowed time? On Sunday I was quite surprised that Wenger brought him off for RVP. It seems as just like in the Koscielny vs. Djourou debate, Wenger will always favour the permanently crocked Dutchman against any of his other strikers. Our formation also doesn't allow for 2 central strikers while RVP cannot play wide without stepping on the toes of Rosicky, Arshavin, Walcott and Nasri. Wenger hinted at a possible change in formation at home, so could this result in a reversion to 4-4-2 to allow RVP and Chamakh to be partnered up front? Other than this somebody will spend a considerable amount of time warming the bench in the next few months.

Half Full - Andre Arshavin is our potential ace in the pack, able to produce that moment of magic that can turn tight games into 3 points. Against Wolves he was a splinter of wood away from killing the game off with a fine individual effort. In the next few months his influence on where we end up in the league will be key, along with his very good link up play with RVP. He is a key member of the team with assists and goals in a season where he has yet to hit top form, which when he eventually does, will have the critics eating their words.

Half Empty - An unneeded luxury and the manager's greatest indulgence. He can look sloppy and lethargic, part of the reason why Clichy looks so bad is due to the lack of support from Arshavin. He has been anonymous in the big games so far this season, and his statistics do not tell the full story, often he influences games when they are already won. Also is he truly happy in North London?

Half Full - Alex Song is slowly turning into a revelation this season. Last season's most improved player has developed his game even further. His assist at Wolves caps a fine purple patch with goals v West Ham, Man City and in the Champions League. These have been match changing goals, and one can argue that if it was an Essien or Scholes doing something similar, fans and critics alike would be purring over their performances. Put simply he is turning into a complete midfielder, as long as he continues to do this, his forays up the pitch are fully justified. He is what we wanted Diaby to be.

Half Empty - Song's main strength is in protecting the back 4, a job he should stick to. His range of passing and attacking prowess is less than that of let’s say a Wilshere, which means more able players are left holding in deep positions while Song ventures forward. His current run, judging on his previous games at the club is the exception rather than the norm. Soon teams will wise up to his threat and prepare accordingly. The new Vieira? Not just yet.

Half Full - The next match is a handy away game at Everton, who have been unconvincing at home so far. Our recent record at Goodison is quite healthy with a 6-1 win last season springing to mind. With our sound away record so far this season and players gradually returning from injury and coming to form, a comfortable win is expected against a side struggling to get out of first gear.

Half Empty - This is just the type of game Arsenal lose these days. Everton always raise their game for the "Top Four", and have the balance of physical style, set piece ability and aerial threat to trouble Arsenal. This may well be one of the toughest games of the season.

Half Full - Audley Harrison is an Arsenal Fan. The next heavyweight champion of the world is a Gooner, when he knocks out that loudmouth David Haye on Saturday he will bring his heavyweight title to the E******s before the Spurs match.

Half Empty - Like Arsenal, Audley had potential at a young age, along with a sound technical pedigree. Like Arsenal, Audley has promised to deliver for years but has continually failed to land a meaningful title. Like Arsenal when he turns up on the big stage he may freeze and lack the killer instinct to win. Judging by the boos on Sunday when he made an appearance, Gooners would rather not be associated with him. BTW this Gooner predicts a Harrison win, Haye doesn't have the best of chins...
