Arsenal put up an amazing display of resilience and never-say-die when they overcame two early goals from Hull City conceded in the first nine minutes of the FA Cup Final.

The Gunners have now equalled Manchester United's eleven FA Cup titles. Well done Arsenal FC and congratulations to Gooners around the world.

October 20, 2022: Rearranged Europa League fixture turned out to be a tough nut. Good news is that Xhaka as a faux No. 9 can find the back of the net. Eighth win on the roll. Keep it up Gunners !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

October 23, 2022: Two precious points dropped after an early Xhaka strike. Still top of the league though.

October 27, 2022: Bad night in Europe. There was no spark in the team. Still top of the group but we need to beat FC Zurich in the first week of November to qualify as group leaders.

October 30, 2022: Brilliant display by the midfield. Jesus was a dynamo and can be excused for not finding the net. Big win, plus a clean sheet over Forest. Must win European game on Thursday and then the big test at Chelsea.
