Caught Sleeping at Sunderland
The final hurrah before the last international break of the year. Our lead at the top of the table was beginning to look quite comfortable, despite a Manchester City resurgence. Arsenal needed to capitalise on the fact that City were up against Liverpool this weekend and that meant, at the minimum, one of these sides were dropping points. If Arsenal secured a win over Sunderland then it would open up a huge gap on one of these teams. However, the fixture at the Stadium of Light meant that Arsenal faced three away games in the space of a week. With an obliterated attack, energy was running low and fatigue will have started to set in.

Tottenham and Manchester United Share the Spoils in a 2–2 Thriller. AI-Generated.
1. First Half: United Take Control The clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United began with an air of intensity and mutual respect.

Their midfield pressed higher, forcing Tottenham’s back line into rushed clearances and sideways passes.

My Reflections on Marshawn Kneeland: A Talent Gone Too Soon
When I first heard about Marshawn Kneeland, I was drawn to his story—not just because he was an NFL player, but because his journey represented something deeper. He wasn’t born into fame or privilege. He worked his way up from a small Michigan town, relying on grit, faith, and determination. His path from a quiet high school athlete to an NFL player for the Dallas Cowboys felt like one of those rare stories that prove how far discipline and belief in yourself can take you.

Magic Man Merino in Prague
Arsenal have currently had no problem in the Champions League. It's three wins from three without a goal conceded, leaving us in the top four heading into this tie. Slavia Prague presented an interesting challenge, but one which Mikel Arteta would've felt comfortable overcoming. The Czechoslovakian side are a formidable opponent within the comfort of their domestic league surroundings, but the Champions League has been underwhelming so far. Two draws and a loss have left them scrambling around the bottom end of the table. But, the atmosphere that these European sides can create is very intimidating to those that can crumble under pressure.

Two's Enough at Turf Moor
Arsenal well and truly hold the fate of the Premier League in their hands. Every game will feel like a final of some sort, but the emotions can't run that high all the time. After opening up some space on the main rivals, Liverpool and Manchester City, it was all about sustaining that space and keeping the momentum going. Burnley away presented an awkward fixture, the newly promoted side have seen an uptick in form having won their last two games. But, coming up against a side that won every single game in October, without even conceding a goal, was always going to be a daunting prospect. Arsenal needed to avoid complacency, Burnley needed bravery.
