Arsenal have had quite a remarkable 2024.
The Premier league has taken a pause with the introduction of the first international break of the season, with the chance for a lot of clubs to do a mini reflection on the start they’ve had to the season so far.
Looking further back into the year we’ve had in the Premier league I cannot help but mesmerize at how we didn’t manage to bring the title home last season, I mean the draw against Brighton at the weekend marked only the third time we’ve dropped points in the entirety of the calendar year so far, having played 21 games in the league, we’ve won 18, drawn 2 and lost only 1, yes one !
Our only loss in that period unfortunately cost us the title, with few of us able to forget that villa game at home last season. The thing that kick-started this run of form was funnily enough a warm weather trip to Dubai for team bonding and recharging our batteries, this was very much needed at the time, given that we had just suffered back to back losses to West Ham and Fulham respectively. After that trip our next game was a 5-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace at home and given the run we went on to have it was known that the trip to Dubai would prove the catalyst to our title charge last season. Unfortunately the only loss in that run at home to villa meant that we lost the title to a relentless Man city.
Nevertheless we cannot deny what an amazing run the club has been on in the PL this year and we would be hoping that it carries on unto our next couple of games after the international break, so that we can build a solid platform to mount another title push this year.
What do you think has been our best PL performance this year gooners ?

We would’ve likely won against Brighton if Rice was more careful, but the game showed that Arteta’s system is still not on a par with Guardiola’s
I still believe we’ll win EPL or UCL next year though, because Arteta has got all his players bar a better false-nine
Nice
Winning 18 out of 21 is the key stat. Beware the dreaded “unbeaten run” which makes people focus on not losing. That in turn leads to having not so many points on the board.
Looked at another way, a side that goes unbeaten for 38 games could end up with 38 points… and get relegated. 🤣
We won’t go unbeaten
Nothing to suggest we can do that
Nothing suggest that we can’t.
Bet you 100 pounds we don’t ?
