Terrace Talk: Arsenal - A ‘special’ arrival ensures further turbulence in N5

The journey over to the Emirates on Saturday was a suitable metaphor for what Arsenal have become over the past decade. The flight was delayed and the as the plane was about to land, it had to take off again due to the strong winds around Heathrow.

As the plane climbed urgently again, there was a five-minute silence from the cockpit that had everybody staring blankly at nothing in particular in front of them, before we were informed of what had happened and that another attempt was forthcoming.
