Forget the drama for a moment, forget the utterly beautiful chaos of
this game. The salient point is that already, after just one game,
Arsenal are behind. They are behind Manchester City and behind
Manchester United, too. By 10pm tomorrow, they may be behind Chelsea, as
well. As such, it is the same as it ever was for Arsene Wenger and his
team. Three times out of the last four Premier League seasons, Arsenal
have begun their programme with defeat here. Already, they are in the
slipstream of their rivals. This defeat was different in its make-up. A
crazy, helter skelter kind of game, it was utterly beguiling.
