Perfect way to spend a weekday, watching Arsenal batter a hapless Chelsea.
But we must abbreviate our celebration as the North London Derby looms large on Sunday. The Gunners take a short trip across town to face a well-rested Tottenham side. The Spuds could play spoiler in the title race, as they face all 3 sides at the top end of the table, in the coming weeks.
We all know what’s at stake. City walloped Brighton Thursday and Arsenal must triumph again to keep title hopes alive. With a win, we could be celebrating St. Totteringham’s Day, where Arsenal have sufficient points to mathematically finish ahead of the Tiny Totts in the table.
A 6am kickoff may elicit groans from some, but it wasn’t that long ago, we had a 4:30am NLD and still pulled in 100+ true Gooners. And if you happen to know someone who supports Spuds, don’t bring them.
I’ll be bringing donuts and if you’ve been to an early morning match, you’ve likely had Bob’s Donuts. Jesus Zamudio, a member of Bob’s staff is in critical condition following a hit and run, and funds are being raised for him here.
See you Sunday at the pub!
