Arsenal 1-0 Hull: The hero we deserve
Another 1-0, another three points. Ødegaard plays the hero, Noni gets his moment, and VAR gives me a headache. Plus, a little Liverpool schadenfreude.

Fourteen years. FOURTEEN YEARS. We've finally won a league game at Anfield. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't comfortable. But who cares? Three points and top of the table.

Arsenal’s set pieces are back, and Nicolas Jover clearly isn’t afraid to go the extra mile to get things moving again.

A little lucky, but three points are three points.

Arsenal win, City cruise, and the Premier League leaves me feeling more than a little disillusioned.

This interlull has gone on long enough. I’m ready for real football to return – and there’s plenty to look forward to, from Gyökeres getting his Arsenal season properly started to Liverpool welcoming Manchester City to Anfield.

It’s a great day, it’s a great day, it’s a great day.

Well. This is a test of my commitment to the blog.

Arsenal are top of the league. Raya saved a penalty. Bruno scored his first Arsenal goal. The referees appear to have forgotten how to referee. And City have somehow emerged as our old new foe.
