S7M3: Please check around you for your nearest exit

The problem* with drugs, kids, is the comedown.

The build up is great, excitement, anticipation. The high is well...a high. But then it all comes crashing down around you. These are of course abstract musings, and have nothing whatsoever to do with the natural trajectory of being an Arsenal fan.

No Siree...

So what happened this week?

Well Jose's 2nd season thing is going well. If he keeps this up, without Joseploding, then they will win the league with 114 points and 152 goals scored, against 0 goals conceded. That would be very impressive. For anyone who's interested, I'll offer very good odds against that so form an orderly queue...

Bournemouth are having a tough 2nd season. The backline is porous, the offence misfiring. It doesn't equate to a happy ending, so Howe needs to find some solutions before the pressure starts building. Tony Pulis maintains his 100% record and is now 15% of the way to shutting down for the season.

Leicester are doing well - they've seemingly weathered the Mahrez storm - well really it was more of a tempest. Not in any way sorry for that. Whilst West Ham continue their woeful start - they've had to be away from East London due to the the terms of their lease on OUR Olympic Stadium that they've thieved from future generations so boo ho to them.

Huddersfield are the promoted club most enjoying life in the Premier League - the only team to win all of their PL games in history. Klopplite is getting quite the fanclub up in Yorkshire. Newcastle & Brighton - struggling so far, although one fan base are taking it better than another.

Spurs' first "home" game at Wembley was a cracker, with 90s children's TV star, Zack Morris scoring 2 great goals to make Spurs feel truly at home in their new surroundings. Posts were struck, Morata & Batshuyi brought potted plants or something, but Conte's uomini took home all 3 points.

Another piece of nostalgia came in Manchester where Wazza continued his Roy of the Rovers return to Everton, scoring again at City. He then celebrated in the same spot where he had famously done so all those years ago...spawning excellent crowd analysis images on Twitter where we can see the evolution of the City fans in the same seats. I enjoyed that, long may it continue.

*There may be other problems. I dunno. Ask a doctor.
