Quite good at being the 12th man for Arsenal. Not averse to dark arts, small plates, pale fire and Ben White doing Ben White things (in no particular order).
Walked past the Emirates this morning and I was thinking “…but can we do it on a wet, cold and windy Saturday afternoon in North London” 😜

Encouraging development. 😊

Will we be celebrating Christmas within 5 points reach of Liverpool? (It’s a yes from me). #arsecastextra

Will we be within 5 points of Liverpool by Christmas? (Spoiler: It’s a yes from me😊)

Excellent breakdown.

Couldn’t agree more.

Based on the impressive turnaround, would it not make a great deal of sense to give Renee at least to the end of the season?

Totally. Overall we have coped quite well given the circumstances IMO.

With all this chaos, being just 4 points behind last season’s pace in these fixtures really isn’t bad at all IMO. Arsenal may not be flying, but given the injuries and context, we’re far from crumbling. What do you think - glass half full or half empty? ⚪🔴 #COYG

• The magic triangle of Ødegaard, Saka, and White - key to our creativity last season - has started just 4 of 11 games this season.
• And let’s not forget the absurd red cards 🟥 🟥 🟥 Arsenal have received - decisions you’d struggle to find replicated anywhere in world football before or after.

• Calafiori 🇮🇹 - our other marquee signing for the left side, has missed 5 of 11 games through injury.
• Injuries to Timber, White, Tomiyasu, and Zinchenko have left us unstable on both flanks. We’ve had 5 different back-four combinations in just 11 games. 🤯

• Ødegaard 🇳🇴 - our captain and heartbeat, has missed 6 games due to injury.
• Saka 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 - our starboy, missed 2 games, including a 2-0 loss at Bournemouth—our worst performance of the season.
• Merino 🇪🇸 - our midfield upgrade, missed the first 2 months after a freak training injury.

We took 23 points from these fixtures last season (*assuming the same results vs. the promoted teams). This season, we’re 4 points short of that. Not ideal, but let’s consider what’s been happening on and off the pitch:

The fixture list this season has been brutal. So instead of comparing to the first 11 games last year, let’s compare to the same fixtures from last season. Is there a better way to spend an Interlull Sunday morning than creating a table? ✅

After 11 games last season, we were flying—top of the league with 27 points. Now, we trail leaders Liverpool by 9 points and are 8 points behind our pace from 2023/24. The narrative is that we’re in decline. But how relevant is this comparison, given the context of this season? 🤔
