Since the start of last season there have been 37 matches played at the Emirates Stadium.

In the 21 games I did not attend we have won 20 and lost none - the one draw was v Liverpool.

In the 16 games I have been to, we have won eight, drawn five and lost three.

I'm going to have to stop going.

Bukayo Saka is the first player in Europe's top five leagues to provide 10 league assists this season.

Let’s be honest, aside from the AWB goal we were absolutely incredible. The Emerson goal is 1 in 100 and it was never a foul either.

What a difference a couple of games makes. Eight goals in the past couple of matches, confidence flowing, Odegaard conjuring, Saka dominating, loads of people scoring. Interesting times.

Big Gabs at the back. Alongside Odegaard as our best signing, value for money wise, in Arteta’s tenure.

3-3 - Feyenoord are the first side to ever avoid defeat in the Champions League after still trailing 0-3 in the 70th minute of play. Remontada.

With Ethan Nwaneri, there’s a feeling of inevitability everytime he receives the ball. Inevitability in the sense of something positive/progressive will occur. Β£100 million talent. You don’t need to see a catalogue of games to come to a conclusion like this. Talent stands out.

Odegaard to Arsenal in terms of flow is what Rodri is for Citeh, what Kross was for Madrid, etc.

These the guys where if they have 80+ touches per game, they’ll dictate the flow of the game. Orchestrators.

Arsenal have only won 1 of their 11 away matches against Portuguese sides in major European competition.

This came at Sporting in October 2018 when Arsenal won 1-0 with a goal scored by Danny Welbeck.

We’ve had domestic football back for one weekend and seen:

Spurs going to City and putting four past them

Roy Keane offering an Ipswich fan a scrap in the car park

Ed Sheeran interrupting Amorim’s first post-match interview and getting rinsed on here.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Nice for Sterling to get an assist, do think we’ve underused him so far and would happily see him come on more often when Saka or Martinelli need a rest.

Good half. Unlucky not to be further ahead. Odegaard and Saka are sensational. The three yellows are nonsense

I thought Merino and Jesus were both really good today.

Ethan Nwaneri has scored the first of hopefully his many Premier League goals for Arsenal.

🚨 Wout Weghorst blames Erik Ten Hag for his disappointing stint at Manchester United.

He feels he didn't score many goals because the system used under Ten Hag was aimed at getting the best of others.
