Nottingham Forest 0-1 Arsenal: Boringly Lucky
A little lucky, but three points are three points.

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.

A few beers, a couple of whiskies and a 2–1 Arsenal win over Chelsea.

As a Brummie Arsenal fan, this fixture is one that is close to my heart.

Arsenal start their title defence in style, but what really stood out from the opening weekend? Five thoughts, one big concern — and a very fitting Song at the Whistle.
