How long will they ignore Arsenal?

The international break is really the party pooper uncle we all have in our family. And again as always it has taken the fun out of the staggering Barclays PremierLeague season start.

Three games into a season is too little for conclusions to be drawn. But as far as media, fans and bookmakers are concerned, trends, possibilities and winners are being chosen all over.

For Arsenal it is three solid games without conceding and with most probably the future best player of the league in Cazorla.

For the rest of the world it's like the fat chick of the block who suddenly after some intense regime is turning out to be the sexiest girl around and everyone's scared to make the first move towards her as we have all mistreated her or said some hurtful things to her in the past. In the media, it certainly seems so.

They all see the lovely traits and charmful walking and stuff but they are refraining themselves as much as possible from pouring in compliments and in debt analysis. Instead they are still on a certain Dutchman and they are failing to indicate how much a not so settled defensively  team he has joined or how much his new team's midfield is no match of Arsenal's. Chelsea and Manchester City are not showing any more solid defensive displays either.

And the quality on display from Arsenal especially in their last game against Liverpool has set the bar as far as the new season is concerned.

And the individual displays of Arteta, Cazorla and lately Diaby are on par with the best we have seen in the premierleague.

And as if none the above is relevant we have entered the season without 60% of the first choice defensive players as Schzesny, Koscielny and Sagna are for different reason in and/or out. You add to that the fact we are on our way to welcome back Jack Wilshere whose display blew away the Barcelona's midfield, the best midfield in the modern game and the rejuvenated Rosicky.

As things stand they are lurking around the new look sexy ex-fat girl but how long can the football world ignore the quality and seriousness of this new Arsenal team!
