The ordinary era: identity under threat. This season has been different to others. Normally we start brightly, collapse mid-winter before recovering enough for a top 4 battle and FA cup grab at the end. While I love the FA cup and I’m thankful for being able to see my team regularly lift it […]

Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea – Super Jack fires Gunners to heroic but disappointing draw
Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea Emirates Stadium, London January 4th, 2018 The good Arsenal turned up today, and not the bad one that showed up at West Ham, Southampton, or West Brom.
