Everything you need to know about the English professional league; who's on top, who's been traded, and what teams are dropping the ball.

Frank-ly, It Was All to Eze
It felt like we had to wait a lifetime to see our club back in action again. After an agonising away fixture to Sunderland, we had Tottenham Hotspur stood in our way on our path to redemption. Prior to the international break beginning, we were told that all members of our injury brigade would be back. However, Gabriel managed to sustain an injury and we got vague updates on any personnel back for the Spurs match. At one point it seemed like none were coming back, but thankfully we saw Noni Madueke back in the squad, alongside Gabriel Martinelli. That little boost was welcome, but the team that started the match was the same as what we saw against Sunderland, minus our best defender this season. The North London derby, what did Arsenal have in store for us?

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.

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.

The Washington Commanders – A Team on the Rise**
The Washington Commanders are one of the most talked-about teams in the NFL today, and for good reason. In my opinion, they represent a story of change, growth, and determination. The team, based in the Washington, D.C. area, has gone through major transitions in recent years—new management, new players, and even a new identity. For a long time, the franchise struggled to find its rhythm, but recently, it feels like things are finally moving in the right direction.

No Dow-ubt About it Against Brighton
Cup competitions are a hard one to navigate for Arsenal. They haven't won enough trophies over the years to not take every single one seriously and the EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) is no different in my eyes. The smallest of the four accolades, but a trophy in every sense of the word. It's also the first one you can win and getting that winning feeling in March could do wonders for the latter stages of our campaign. The lack of trophies is the blotch on Arteta's resume that he'd really like to start removing and that can start with the EFL Cup.

Blue Jays Strike Back: Toronto Evens the World Series After Game 4 Win Over the Dodgers. AI-Generated.
Toronto roared back into the 2025 World Series with a 6–2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4, leveling the series at two games apiece. After a grueling 18-inning battle in Game 3, fatigue was clearly a factor for Los Angeles, while the Blue Jays capitalized on home-field energy and sharper execution at the plate.

Conservative Against Crystal Palace
Arsenal had the opportunity to extend their lead over Liverpool to seven points due to the Merseyside club losing to Brentford on Saturday night. The Gunners, in the past, struggle to capitalise on the downfall of their rivals. However, it's a different Arsenal side this season and a side that are seemingly hell bent on restoring glory to an old giant of the game. Crystal Palace stood in their way and that's a scary sight these days. In recent times the south London side have got the better of us on more than one occasion, in fact only last season we settled for a 2-2 draw at the Emirates. Oliver Glasner has taken them from strength to strength even since that result in April. They've picked up an FA Cup and Community Shield and embarked on a 17 game unbeaten run that only ended a couple of weeks ago. Mikel Arteta has his work cut out and this wasn't helped by concerns amongst the squad that Gabriel and Bukayo Saka might not make the game. Thankfully they did and Arteta could use the strongest starting XI at his disposal.
