Apologies for how long this blog has taken. It’s taken me a while to get my thoughts together on the issues our latest defeat has prevented. A big moment in Arsenal’s history is approaching. The humiliation we endured at Goodison Park felt like a turning point. Our performances over the last month or so have been nothing short of calamitous and our humbling by Everton is the latest in a series of humbling games for the club. We shouldn’t be losing to Everton at all, let alone like we did on Sunday. The manner of this defeat seems to have brought about the most serious questioning of our manager so far. Is it time for Arsene Wenger to go?

After two very damaging results in the last week, the visit of Man City to the Emirates was not one many were keen on. Given our performance in the ‘big’ games this season, you could forgive most fans for being more than a little pessimistic about our prospects of getting a result. However, the team dug in and produced a much improved performance. I’d have bitten your arm off for a point at the start of the game, so all in all I’m pretty happy with what the team achieved.
