Possibly one of my favourite pieces from Arsenal Wonderland since I came along for the journey, Jonathan. We're on the same page about it all, and you've given the topic the beautiful writing it deserves.
Thanks Anu! It's so hard to predict which articles will land nicely and which won't. I'm so glad you enjoyed this one. I'm thinking of trying a kind of match report for the next one, which is super risky because, as you know, those kind of articles are very result dependent. Fingers crossed against Newcastle.
This reminds me of a video I saw just before the Arsenal-Hull City cup final. It covered the nine years since we’d last won a trophy, and included cup finals, the CL final, consecutive 5-2 wins over Spurs, games against Barca (including THAT one) and other great highlights. I didn’t see any failure in that, just a shedload of enjoyment and great memories. Here’s to many more!
Great comment and I completely agree Nick (although I was watching THAT game against Barca in Sweden so when Henrik Larsson single-handedly dismantled us in the ast 15 minutes it was an especially agonising experience 😂). But yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about, hitching your wagon to the experience rather than the outcome is the only way to go!
I guess this season will be on quite a few of those highlight reels in the future. Here’s to many more! Thanks so much for commenting :)

A breath of fresh air in a world of diminishing nuance!
Thank you dude. Let's hope this breath of fresh air gets us through the increasing headwind of "diminishing nuance" as you so eloquently put it 😂
