Caught In Two Minds

The day has come that Arsenal is no longer undefeated. They are still on top of the table. There were some tactical questions today, and the team got caught on the counter. These were some problems that they faced, but the refs were absolutely trash. Fouls called and not called played into the storyline. We talk Sambi and Ode today. What did you think about Viera? Everyone, keep your heads held high and moving on.

Team spirit, intensity, and class were all on display as the Gunners win their 5th match in a row 2-1 against Aston Villa. Are we nervous about the midfield injuries? Do we trust Lokonga? How bad have some of these referee decisions been so far this season? We discuss this and more on episode #158. 

What an exciting time at The Emirates! The crowd was so loud, and the team responded. Fulham was outmatched but held strong. Until the late winner from Gabriel. We agreed on MOM this week. We chime in on Saka and Odegaard. We also address some Twitter rumbles in a new segment. The Arsenal are 4-0 and top of the League. How can an Arsenal fan not be loud and celebrate???

The day has come that Arsenal is now the sole owners of 1st place in the Premier League. There’s a man named Jesus that is setting a tone from the front. His countryman is leading that charge as well. Ode was fabulous with 2. And a wonder kid with a wonder goal. Saliba had his name chanted so often that when he responded……silence is what you heard. More praise to spread around and the last question has a new tone. Can Arsenal finish….. Thanks for listening. Please share and follow. We welcome comments and banter as well. #onelove #COYG #arsenalfc #premierleague

This feeling has to continue for us Arsenal fans! The team is closing down on defense. They are mounting attacks that are resulting in goals. Jesus has answered our calls for a striker that delivers. A couple of critiques on some players on this episode, but it comes from the heart. The team looks organized and full of energy. Great start to the season! #COYG Thank you for supporting us.

After a great break, The Arsenal got back to action on Friday. So here we are, back to action as well. This game was the opening game of the Premier League, and millions would watch the only pitch with action. The Gunners delivered a hard fought win at Crystal Palace, including a clean sheet. Our MOM were both defensive selections, and that’s a positive thing. Goals from Martinelli and Saka (called an own goal) were the goals for the 2-0 win. The team was crisp, closing down the ball, and the back line was stout. Top of table is a great start to the season! Thanks for the support and leave a comment on whether you agree. Happy to engage and you can watch this podcast on YouTube. COYG

That’s it folks! It was a roller coaster ride of a season, but what a finish! A 5-1 stomping to a recently safe Everton team. We mostly reflect on the season and give some praise where we felt worthy. Then we have some wishes going forward. Answering the question; Are you proud of this season? It’s been interesting and fun. I think the documentary on this season will be a great watch. Cheers to all the supporters! Maybe a random podcast during the summer, but these 2 grateful guys are ready for a break.

This is not ending the way we all hoped. The team is tired and thin. Losing today at Newcastle was a hard watch. They completely bulldozed The Arsenal. The back line was not fit. There was no answer by Arteta’s side. What else We can say? So we are joking and singing our way through this episode. Just trying to keep it together. One game to go and a miracle needs to happen for the top 4 now. Do you believe in miracles?

The NLD did not go to plan for The Arsenal. High energy wasn’t the problem. Is there such a thing as too high of energy? Was this the right attitude against a good counter-attacking team? The overriding theme is that the Ref absolutely trashed this London Classic. Playing aggressive to calling the ticky-tack (by Derby standards) was how injected himself into this match. Shame on The Prem and double shame on the Refs. Even though today was disappointing, Arsenal is still 1 point ahead of Tottenham with 2 to play. Finish the job, boys! #COYG

My fellow Arsenal fans, the stars, seem to align. Another hard fought victory against Leeds Utd. 2-1 was the score line but Leeds didn’t even take a shot on goal for 65 minutes. What looked comfortable with Leeds down to 10 men turned into a minor threat towards the end. There was a ton of praise for the team's ability to keep closing out these tight results. Nketiah has hit his best run as a Gunner. Odegaard was masterful and Martinelli delivered a beautiful assist. One big lineup shift and it seemed to work for both fullbacks. The North London derby on Thursday can be a clinching game for Arsenal ending its six-year absence in Champions League play. #COYG
