If a journey of a thousand miles can begin with a single step then 9 games is a pretty good bit covered in a journey of 49 games. Arsenal chalked up their 9th victory in a row by beating Steaua Bucharest by a solitary second half Van Persie goal.Another 40 wins in a row required to equal the record of the “Invincibles” of 2003 – 04.The comparision may be premature but they seem to be headed in the right direction.
