There’s a lot of talk right now of titles, trophies, and how this must be Arsenal’s year, coming from the fans and media alike. And while it’s a great time to be a Gooner, some restraint is needed.
Enthusiastic optimism is understandable, especially after a mid-week League Cup victory over Brighton, that featured 4 teenagers. Andre Harriman-Annouss (17), Miles Lewis-Skelly (19), Ethan Nwaneri (18), and wunderkind, Max Dowman (15), all worked tirelessly with Dowman’s dribbling, passing, and runs down the right wing, proving he more than deserved a place in the side.
But it’s a long season and so much football to be played against seriously formidable opposition in both domestic and European competitions. Let’s take it one match at a time. Starting with a trip to Turf Moor to face Burnley on Saturday.
I will miss Saturday’s match, but Katie DeSchutter will ensure the banner is hung, donuts are provided, and take a few pictures in my absence.
COYG!
Best, Mark
