Good old Arsenal, we're proud to say that name. While we sing this song, we'll win the game, and in doing so we’ll banish all negative memories of ‘them’ against us. We’ll sleep soundly and peacefully. We’ll walk tall. We won’t have to grin and bear it, we’ll just grin, randomly and often, knowing that – for now at least – all is well and good in the north London footballing landscape. Because it is. Have a great week.
