Gunners’ Gap Grumble and Cup Cupcakes…
While Liverpool juggles teacups at the Carabao, Arsenal looks to chip away at the whopping 12-point gap atop the Premier League. Our favorite French defender, William Saliba, admits it’s more of a canyon than a gap while readying for the Chelsea clash at Emirates. With a romantic flair, he mused, “They did what we didn’t!” Gasp! Still, he and the eternally optimistic Mikel Arteta insist this isn’t the time to toss in the towel – with nine games to go, anything can happen!
The Gunners might not have snagged a win in a month, but Saliba declares, “We will push” – just not too hard, or they’ll need a chiropractor. They did find a victory toasting Dutch cheese, beating PSV to sneak into the Champions League quarter-finals. Arteta’s interview antics, involving dramatic storm-outs, and Roy Keane’s chirpy critiques add some spicy drama to the mix.
If Arsenal’s journey was a sitcom, it’d be called “Mind the Gap.” Last week’s get-together with Manchester United was a drizzly Brit rom-com, with a side of Keane’s cheeky banter. Arsenal entered the season with eyes wide open, imagining decorative trophies. Alas, it seems, as Liverpool lifts the coveted cup, Arsenal needs an extra shopping cart for those hopes!
