I’m sitting right behind the Sky TV camera man. He’s fun to watch, trying to follow the ball and swinging left to right like the rear gunner of the Millennium Falcon. #london #arsenal… https://t.co/jcxj04Qp92
— NelsonsNose (@NelsonsNose) September 29, 2018
- 7 progressive wins is a useful acheivement, however Emery was as inspired to perceive how Arsenal aced their most troublesome test since the principal seven day stretch of the season when they lost to both Manchester City and Chelsea.

5 straight wins for @Arsenal ???? #LoveIt pic.twitter.com/6ePdj1w1GA

- Despite the fact, that they were on a triumphant streak, the inclination endured that their assaulting groove still required some cleaning, with the greater part of their ongoing outcomes subject to flashes of forward play as opposed to an obviously characterized system.

Unfortunately Man U seems to be in complete chaos and also unfortunately it seems my happiness for Arsenal’s 7 wins in a row feels a bit hollow considering they haven’t actually played any really good teams within those 7 games…
— … (@Toonisama) September 29, 2018

I think the top five will be the top five at the end of today. Arsenal 5th and if @hazardeden10 continues to play like he is, they could win it with no champions League to worry about again.
— Martin Whitman (@MartinWhitman1) September 29, 2018

Some Arsenal fans care that Özil hasn’t been getting assists. Yes, assists feel better than goals when it comes to Özil, but if he’s helping the team win, why’re you crying?
— Zü (@zuhayrafc) September 29, 2018
