Go on, let Arsenal fans enjoy it, and maybe Man City aren’t so invincible after all – The Warm-Up

MONDAY’S BIG STORIES Man City ain’t invincible, but Arsenal… Ad And so that was the third Premier League weekend that was (with the exception of a humdinger tonight that we’ll get to), and it’s safe to say that the Arsenal fan in your office has a wider smirk than most this morning, and will be chatting more than AJ throughout the day. Premier LeagueArsenal put on show against Bournemouth to maintain perfect startYESTERDAY AT 15:31 But you know what? Let them.

By all means zone out, stick the headphones in or ignore the messages on the team chat, but football is about enjoying the fleeting highs when they come around, and Arsenal fans have every reason to be cheerful after maintaining their perfect start to the season on Saturday. The wheels could of course fall off, Arsenal will be all too aware of that after last season’s late capitulation, but in the pursuit of Champions League football (and maaaybe more) there can be no better start than three wins from three, with a hard-fought win over Crystal Palace being followed by mightily impressive victories against Leicester and Bournemouth.

“Just wait until they face another Big Six side.” Well yes, there’s that – and it’ll come by the boatload soon when facing Manchester United in September, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City in October, then Chelsea in early November – but it’s plain to see this Arsenal squad is an upgrade on the one that finished fifth three months ago. Whether that is enough for the top four come next May remains to be seen, but that’s exactly why you should cut the Arsenal fan some slack on Slack (or Teams or Zoom) when they have a little brag today.
