Dutch forward believes his side can win every game

Riding high on the back of three convincing league wins, and trying his best to avoid thinking about the four goalless draws that preceded those wins, Robin van Persie has claimed his Arsenal side will take three points from each of their remaining eight games:

“I feel we are unbeatable. I go out there thinking we can win every game.

“Even when Newcastle drew level on Saturday, I never thought, ‘Oh no, we are not going to win’.

The Gunners are more likely to secure Champions League football than they were a few weeks ago, but The Spoiler can’t help but think RVP is living in cloud cuckoo land if he thinks they won’t drop any more points. With a run-in that includes visits to Anfield and Old Trafford, and home games with Chelsea and arch nemeses Stoke (on the last day of the season when they may be fighting for survival), it’s probably more likely that Nicklas Bendtner puts all his remaining shots on target.
