Jetzt geht’s um die Wurst translates to Now it goes around the sausage, a German expression which has come to mean there are higher stakes now, or all or nothing. All or Nothing is coincidentally, the name of the Arsenal TV series on Prime.
Sunday’s match against Villa was to put it mildly, a debacle. The Gunners squandered a gilt-edge chance to retain the top spot, following an earlier Liverpool defeat. The Premiership is not completely out of reach, but there are definitely higher stakes now in our Champions League journey.
Arsenal head to Munich for the quarter-final second leg, hoping to do the business after a first leg draw at the Emirates. Thankfully the away goals rule no longer exists. If the teams are level at the end, we’ll see extra time and penalties (if necessary).
Here’s hoping the lads rebound from Sunday’s stumble and fall. See you all at the pub!
Best,
