One match at a time
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.

Come on you Gunners!
League Cup tomorrow!
The fourth round of the League Cup AKA the Carabao Cup sees Arsenal against Brighton tomorrow. Kick off is 12:45 PM and Maggie’s will have the match on!
The first of two matches this week. Expect Arteta to rest Saliba, Rice, Martinelli and Califiori, all of whom picked up knocks last weekend. We will likely see Merino, Mosquera, Nwaneri, and Nørgaard inserted into the mix.
Going to miss the next 3 matches at Maggie’s but will be back at the pub for Sunderland on 11/8.

To the Viktor…
Fresh off a resounding Champions League victory, the Gunners now face a formidable Crystal Palace side at home. Hopefully trouncing Atlético Madrid, 4-0 will provide a bit of momentum. Viktor Gyökeres nabbing two of the goals Wednesday night certainly gives hope that he’s finding his feet. He’s been working his ass off, so it’s nice to see it pay off.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!

Back to business
When we last left our intrepid Gunners, they’d beaten West Ham 2-0, before the international break. After 7 matches, Arsenal sit top of the table. Sadly, Martin Ødegaard went off with a knee injury that looks to keep him out until late November. Arsenal are hopeful he’ll return in time for the North London Derby.
No time to dwell on this blow to our midfield as Arsenal are back in action this week. Saturday against Fulham, and Atlético Madrid on Tuesday in the Champions League. We’ll just have to trust in our newfound depth of Eze, Nwaneri and Merino.
Excited to be back at the pub Saturday and see all your bright and shiny faces!
