Timber’s Confident Title Aim and Fearless Opener…
Arsenal’s own superhero, Jurrien Timber, believes his team is ready to swipe the Premier League title, and why not? The Gunners have gone shopping like someone on a quest that’s only rivaled by a squirrel preparing for winter. Bringing in six new signings has the team buzzing like bees at a flower festival. Ahead of their big opening match against Manchester United at Old Trafford, Timber had some comically earnest words. With the determination of a gold miner in a field of chocolate coins, he said, “We’re almost there, it’s just that last bit!” He’s sure they have the right manager, team, and excitement to go all out this season.
Timber brushed off any talk of unlucky breaks impacting Arsenal’s previous season, saying, “We weren’t good enough and Liverpool was a bit better,” as if admitting that yesterday’s soup was just slightly warmer than today’s tea. Facing a powerhouse start with heavy hitters like Manchester United, Leeds, and Liverpool in the lineup, he’s unfazed. According to Timber, their start is less like walking into battle and more like stepping onto a bouncy castle filled with nothing but rival teams. Timber recently had ankle surgery to “remove something that was bothering me,” joking that if only title hangovers could be removed as easily! But he firmly believes Arsenal’s aim remains championship-driven, just like every intense game, and they’re determined to shine through this season’s challenges.
