If Arsenal continue on the current trajectory, a 90-point plus season shouldn’t be far off. Arsenal have only attained a 90-point season once since the Premier League commenced in 1992/93 and since the 38-game cycle began.
We don’t need glossy wins. We need wins. I’ll liken it to Man Utd of some years ago.
Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United scored 68 goals in 2008/09 and had 90 points. That’s less than two goals per game. That point tally was the highest they had in that dominant era between 2007 and 2009. And their highest points return led to their lowest goals tally.
They recorded 10 1-0 wins that season and didn’t score more than two goals in 30 of their 38 league games. Their top scorer was Cristiano Ronaldo and he had 18 league goals.
For comparison, Man United scored 18 goals and conceded 5 in their opening 10 games that season. They kept 6 clean sheets.
Arsenal have scored 15 goals now in 10 games, and have conceded 5. We've kept seven clean sheets.
That was a Manchester United that had Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez in attack.
They were also losing finalists in the UCL that season. They were not just the best team in the Prem, they were one of the best two in Europe.
Whatever you see now has happened before.
Back your team.

The really funny thing about City fans dressing as bananas in a weird show of defiance about their club being found guilty of the biggest cheating scandal English football has seen, is when they lose they are filmed standing there looking really angry while dressed as bananas.

I thought they had misapplied the law when I saw them deny the penalty for offside.
Sadly, it’s not a surprise that they don’t know the laws given the incredibly poor calibre of @prorefofficial

JAY-Z BREAKS DOWN WHAT MADE BIGGIE A GREAT WRITER AND THE CHALLENGE OF WRITING FOR DR. DRE
JAY-Z: “Biggie was one of those ones who didn't run from controversy, whether it made him look bad or not. Most people's egos wouldn't allow them to say that.”
“He had such an endearing quality as a writer. ‘Black and ugly as ever’ — that one word was so powerful. Anything he said after that was going to be amazing.”
JAY-Z also explained his approach to writing for Dr. Dre after he left Death Row:
“I had to get into his psyche. What would he be thinking right there? I would be thinking, I have to remind people that I'm Dr. Dre.”
“It's like a cooking show. These are the ingredients I have to work with, and I'm going to make them make sense. And it can't be corny.”

Some interesting Kai Havertz numbers I ran this morning, in wake of the contract talk:
— All time Arsenal G+A per 90 (+5000 mins) Kai Havertz is now up to 13th, above every eligible member of the current squad.
— End of 23/24, had 1.2 G/A per 90 for a 16 game PL sample. That's above Henry's all time G/A record.
— Winter 24/25 before the injury, 1.03 G/A per 90 for a 14 game PL and UCL sample.
— January 2026 to the Chelsea game at home recently it was 0.97 G/A per 90 for club and country.
— All-time leading German goalscorer in the Premier League with 46 goals, overtaking Ilkay Gündogan.
— By September 2026, Arsenal’s Premier League win rate with Havertz was 72.7% while without him was 52.4%.
— Kai Havertz had scored or assisted in 48% of his Premier League starts for Arsenal (29/61), the highest percentage of any player under Mikel Arteta. [@OptaJoe, September 2026]

Liverpool have committed more fouls this season than any other team in the Premier League. Arsenal are joint 17th.
Liverpool rank joint fourth in the league for yellow cards. Arsenal are joint 17th and Liverpool have one red card to Arsenal's none.
Arsenal's highest entry in the most fouls committed by a player in the league is Myles Lewis Skelly at 34th, joint with Szoboszlai. There are four Liverpool players who have committed more than MLS.
This is fan fic nonsense.
Sunday merely served to reinforce the belief that Liverpool as a team are far too nice.
There’s a difference between being streetwise and cheating. It wasn’t pretty, but Arsenal produced a masterclass in the former in the second half on Sunday.
Andoni Iraola was clear post-match that there will be a change of approach. He will tell his players to start going to ground when they are impeded in the box.
It’s a sad state of affairs, but needs must.
