Reason for Arsenal fans to be buzzing again

5 preseason wins including a 4-0 over Chelsea and 6-0 over Sevilla, some notable additions to the team (G. Jesus, Fabio Viera, Zinchenko, and star defender W. Saliba rejoining after 2.5 years on loan) and a strong finish last season, Arsenal fans have finally a legitimate grounds to have belief and feel confident in the team!

Me included.

Passed by a bet shop on Friday and placed bets on:

- Arsenal win (1: 1.70) @ $30 
- Arsenal -1.5 (1: 2.60) @ $20


It was against Crystal Palace away and in the end the result went in Arsenal's way. I won $53 overall, hurray!

Money aside, was more pleased of the way the game was won- solid team play, reliable and strong at the back, dangerous movement of the front four, a clean sheet including 2 game defining saves by Ramsdale; and mind you CP was a physical team and we lost 2-0 to them just a few months ago; there is real belief and structure in the team right now. Only 1 game down, 37 to go. The season is a marathon, but the preparatory work and the first game have got gooners all buzzing.

COYG!
