25 goals in 19 games.  Scoring nearly a goal and a half per game.  10 goals clear of second.  And, meanwhile, Arsenal's top scorer - Martin Ødegaard - has 8.  ::D

 

To quote Ødegaard himself: "We don't care about City"

 

It will be a great loss if Norway fail to qualify for Euros.  Him and Haaland should be amazing.  Does the national team as a whole just suck?

Team results >>>> individual records.

 

I do love that Haaland is dominating and making every "analyst" look foolish because they didn't think his game could translate to the "big, bad, elite" premier league.

So much for the FA Cup.

 

I thought it was kind of a 'meh' game to watch.

 

Anyways, on to win the Premier League title and Europa!

I think with the fixture congestion, being out of the domestic cup comps might be a blessing in disguise.  Especially considering they have 2 league matches against City to come.  First one on the 15th.

And in other Arsenal news:

 

"Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has penned a new long-term four-and-a-half year deal with the Gunners to extend his stay at the Emirates until the summer of 2027."

The 2023 Club World Cup game between the Seattle Sounders and Al Ahly of Egypt is on Saturday at 9am.

 

Apparently the game will be televised through something called FIFA+, a free streaming service.  A link can be found here:

Should Seattle win, they would then go on to face Real Madrid, no less!

I have mixed feelings about all of this.  As a Whitecap fan, it's hard to see Seattle have so much success.  But it would be cool to see an MLS team do well in this competition.

Just noticed that Arsenal is playing Everton on Saturday at 4:15am.

 

The game was originally scheduled back in September but was postponed.

I have trap game vibes from this one.  Played anytime prior to Frank the Tank's sacking, and I see a Gunners win.  Now, I see this as a match that Everton can use to turn their season around and escape yet again from relegation.  

 

I'm hoping its not.
