Thousands of people will have been looking at the Arsenal goalless draw this weekend and scoff two points.  But for me it showed they’re a lot tougher than some make them out to be – a goal down against a Fulham side that had a lot to prove and in truly terrible English conditions around this time of year.  They played and honestly ought to have been able to win.
