Van Persie feels invincible again
Table of Contents
Robin van Persie believes his Arsenal side have rediscovered their aura of invincibility after going 16 Premier League games without defeat.
The Gunners struggled for form at the half-way stage of the season but have begun to peak at just the right time, with Saturday's 3-1 win over Newcastle taking Arsène Wenger's men above Aston Villa into fourth spot.
And after looking to have got their league season back on track, the Londoners can now look forward to the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea and a quarter-final Champions League showdown with Villarreal.
"I feel we are unbeatable. I go out there thinking we can win every game," said van Persie.
"Even when Newcastle drew level on Saturday, I never thought 'Oh no we are not going to win'. I looked at the time and saw we had 30 minutes left and I was convinced we would win.
He added: "I still look back at the dropped points from earlier in the season and it hurts. We are 10 points behind Manchester United and six behind Chelsea because we lost some silly points against teams we should have beaten.
"We are not doing those silly things any more. We are coming into great form at the right time and who knows what will happen in the FA Cup and Champions League?"
