  • 11:30pm kickoff for me. Decided not to stay up late which was a wise decision. Although, I probably would have snoozed off well before the end of the match.

    My aspiration that we would hang in there at least until the next international break doesn’t look good but we can still have a turnaround before Christmas and thereafter, especially getting Ødegaard back soon. 🤞

    I’m trying to exist inside a healthy space between these two Alexander Pope quotations:

    Hope springs eternal in the human breast/the hearts of Arsenal supporters

    Blessed is the man/Arsenal supporter who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed










  • Yes. The other thing I picked up this week was that Arteta never once used injuries as a pre-emptive excuse. e.g in the pre-match presser:

    on if he feels hard done by to have so many injuries:

    This is the game, you know, obviously, we didn’t want to be in that situation, but we are really lucky as well to have the squad that we have, to have the players that we have, to have the attitude that we have. When it comes down to reacting against a difficult situation and don’t feel sorry for ourselves, face it. We are a team that we know how good we are as well and how difficult we can be for the opponent. And having that ruthless mentality in the team is something that I love.

    Yet am I sure I noticed the usual idiots telling us off for complaining about injuries. That’s why I don’t give 2 tugs what non-Arsenal journos or pundits say. They relentlessly pursue a pre-determined agenda, no matter what.
