It’s going down, we’re yelling Timber. The Dutchman made a game, you will remember. Saliba, Gabriel and Ben White all part of The Gunners’ Rolls Royce collection while Timber is a fine addition, he adds a Stone Pitbull mentality to the dawg fight keen to add his name to the Dutch Royalty at Marble Halls. Jurrien Timber is One of Wun. Gunna’s Go Crazy.

You couldn’t have scripted it any better or any weirder. The ball bounced awkwardly off Thomas Partey onto Saliba and Andre Onana was forced to Feel The Glow by a Rear View. Suspended in disbelief, Saliba made sure United felt it as he took Pride in his celebrations.

His pristine, 24-game unbeaten run continued on from his time at Sporting gone. Shattered by the most unconventional of goals. Under the cold December sky, Arsenal had been ruled out by many doubting them as league contenders but this is a firm reminder from Mikel Arteta, cautionary tales are prophetic for this one. With a performance full of grit, chaos, and just a little bit of luck off Saliba’s behind, they showed they’re very much in it. Arteta’s Army writes their own narrative. Four wins against Manchester United with Arteta at the wheel shows Arsenal’s cavalry is destined for greater things.

As Amorim’s men left with their unbeaten record in tatters, Arsenal’s faith in their title chase was renewed. The Emirates witnessed not just a win, but a sermon on belief, chaos, and resilience. It was all about fate stepping in. An ode to how football can be beautiful, unpredictable, and a bit cheeky.
