Better now

So many people myself included really expected more from Arsenal very poor today especially up front

It is the first game so nothing to read into. Rather than the poor performance from Arsenal you could look at west ham and see that they are a team that will cause all the big teams problems. Signing Payet was an absolute coo!

Unbeaten the rest of the calendar year? I'll believe it when I see it mate. We couldn't even do it for 90 minutes against Russell 'most annoying man on the planet' Brand's most beloved east end part timers.

Coup*

Your unbeaten run usually only lasts long enough for you to get into the top 4, so now complaints here

*no

Everyone says 'same old Arsenal' but it was unexpected in one of the most experienced player let us down by freak accidents..I m sure he is going to take it on the chin and come back, thats how became who he is.

Beside 2 mistakes West Ham didn't have much..its early days..I m sure Arsenal will come back better from this.

Also, lots of food for thoughts to Wenger and players who thought they had won the tittle..its won on the pitch, a good reminder early on..like OP says. Better now then mighty collapse.
