What We Must Do To Beat Chelsea A 1-apiece draw in the North London derby was a tad underwhelming on Saturday it must be said.

In-between games against Manchester City in the Community Shield and Premier League, Arsenal have begun the season in a somewhat unfamiliar fashion, often struggling to impress fans and observers alike. You could call it a false start, but the Gunners aren’t going to be disqualified from any competition anytime soon. Instead, this period has been […]
