Arsenal actually don’t look like losing a football match at the moment.
Despite the number of difficult opponents we’ve faced this early in the campaign, we’ve still managed to stay unbeaten which is what every gooner would have dreamt of at the start of the campaign. We’re only two months into the season and I understand it’s nothing to be very excited about just yet, but it’s impressive!.
However it’s something we can be a little bit proud of given we’ve remained undefeated despite playing high caliber teams like Aston Villa, Tottenham, Man City, Atalanta and PSG in a relatively short space of time. What has been the most impressive thing about this to me is the fact that we never looked like losing in each of our opening games in all competitions this season.
This is made even more impressive considering the amount of injuries and dismissals we’ve had to contend with this season, the dismissals in particular makes it impressive given we’ve had to play over 90 minutes of football this season with a man down, that being two 45 minute spells with a red card against Brighton and Man City this season, with the latter being arguably the best team in world. The fact that we never actually looked like losing in both scenarios just tells you how good we’ve been this season. Despite the attack coming under scrutiny on a couple of occasions so far this season, the defense can’t be faulted due to how rock solid we’ve been at the back.
The defense has been the reason why we’ve been undefeated even beyond the start of this campaign given we’re currently on an unbeaten run of 15 games in all competitions now stretching back to the end of last season. Our last defeat was against Bayern Munich in the UCL quarterfinals as we all can painfully remember in April, that means that we’ve now gone over 168 days without tasting defeat competitively, which is a sign that we’ll definitely be in the mix for major silverware this campaign.
With the favourable fixtures coming up, the Gunners will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run further starting with the game against Southampton at the weekend.
What has been the most impressive part of our current unbeaten run gooners?

Be humble peeps.
Yes we will lose a game
I mean we almost did against Atlanta. We never looked like scoring. They score the penalty, and that’s it
The post didn’t say arsenal isn’t humble pal,we r just saying it’s a feel good factor for now.
I didn’t say it did pal
I’m simply saying let’s be humble.
Really…not humble?….when some posters get cocky…we lose our next game….according to some here, leicester woild be a walk in the park. It was fingernails till the end so please ..be humble. Its a goid run at the moment, just enjoy it and save the boasting
JA admin will be very, very interested in your supposition that comments have an impact on results.😳
Arsenal will not lose their first match tomorrow, and here I will try to explain why.
In the gaffer we have a tactical genius, he imay not be as flamboyant as the legendary Frenchman, the gaffer is a pragmatist that will do whatever he thinks he needs to do to maximize our chances of a result, whether an all out assault such as the case against Leicester, but you can bet your last dollar the Saints will be put to the sword on Saturday.
Even the full eleven behind the ball against the champion gives you an insight of how the gaffer conduct his affairs.
As legend have it, the previous ten teams played at the champions with ten men all got hammered, the gaffer was not prepared to add to that statistics
I like the optimistic attitude! Sadly it is possible that we we could go unbeaten all season and yet still finish without a trophy…
But if we have a good window in January then anything is possible.
That is not possible if it includes the three cup competitions.
It’s not possible, it’s just arrogant
That’s what they said about Arsene and the Invincibles Dan and look how that turned out.
How much you want to bet it won’t happen ?
It almost happened in 1991 as well. We lost only one league game. 24W-13D -1L (74-18).
You can’t say it’s not possible. Not probable is a different story. But possible considering it has already happened 5 times in European topflight football.
Not feeling logical today, Dan?
Didn’t we say this when we said Arsenal would win their first 5 , would win every game and Havertz would score more then Halland ?
Didn’t you say we would lose to City?
Weren’t you criticizing Edu for holding out for 30m for nketiah? Both wrong but it was your opinion
Daulat is right, you can’t say it’s not possible as long as we continue to stay unbeaten. Very very unlikely like 5% chance but still possible.
It’s possible that Everton can win title doesn’t mean you cant say it won’t happen
Yes but you didn’t say that did u ? “It’s not possible, it’s just arrogant”
Ironic that your post sounded more arrogant that his article.
Using your logic: It’s possible, not be arrogant.
It’s opinions isnt it
Anyone who is talking about us going unbeaten is arrogant.
Lets wait till we actually achieve something first
It’s the headline writers again Dan, not the article, which seems a fair assessment of our progress TBH.
If you had bothered to read the article you’d see he never said we are going unbeaten this season, he talked about our current unbeaten start to the season. Our 15 match unbeaten run since aston villa.
And I acknowledge in comment I read it wrong but since some do seem to be saying it could happen
It won’t lol
Fair play i didn’t see that comment.
Yeah it most likely won’t happen but crazier things have happened before.
It’s funny how people target me but then go …..but your probably right lol
Own your opinion
Do you think this team are good enough to go unbeaten
No way
Love to be wrong
Dan, you certainly have the bit between your teeth on this one!
Now I know you are going to use in a future article “There are some fans who even believe we will stay unbeaten”.
So, I am asking you to show me when ANYONE on has stated “Arsenal WILL go unbeaten” as opposed to to MAY (or HOPE) we remain unbeaten?
Can you name one fan?
I agree with you but I’m equally allowed to say it won’t happen
That’s just my opinion
Yes it might happen and technically could
Im just saying it won’t
The other day Saka was talking about not putting the team under pressure. Expectations like going unbeaten only put undue pressure on the team. The goal first and foremost should be to win the league,unbeaten or otherwise,it won’t matter.
While we have done well so far,it’s prudent to temper our expectations,taking one game at a time. It is possible to go unbeaten as it has been done by the great Wenger and his squad. But it’s highly improbable in today’s game. The league is a lot more competitive compared to two decades ago and the schedule is tougher. Going unbeaten is just as improbable as conceding only 15 like that Chelsea side did year ago.
Oh my word! Why on earth would you say that?
He’s forgotten the Invincibles already!! 😂😂
Exactly , it was such a special achievement
It’s an insult to the Invincibles to say it can happen
Dan.
The writer ACTUALLY said. “Despite the number of difficult opponents we’ve faced this early in the campaign, we’ve still managed to stay unbeaten which is what every gooner would have dreamt of at the start of the campaign. We’re only two months into the season and I understand it’s nothing to be very excited about just yet, but it’s impressive!.”
He didn’t even suggest we would go unbeaten….
Fair play if i read it wrong
It doesn’t matter if you read it wrong Dan, why would it be an insult to the incredible Invincible squad to suggest it might happen again?
Because it’s as such a special achievement from a special team to say this current team can do this trivialises it in my opinion
How many of the current team get in that Invincible 11?
Lets end Man City’s dominance before we claim we can achieve what one of the best ever teams did
This group mentally choke when it matters so need to prove they can get over the line yet some are now saying they can can match our greatest ever team.
They are not saying they can match our best ever team though Dan, they are saying we could go the season unbeaten, which is something quite different.
By the way, what do you think about the media, in general, finally cottoning on to Mr Oliver’s stats when it comes to city115 and The Arsenal?
Yeah we could mate but we won’t trust me
Then when we don’t your say ….well it was the minority who said it Dan lol
Not sure if they have
I heard many mock us for the idea of a conspiracy
Couldn’t make sense of your last paragraph Dan, come again!
I heard the stat
Have not heard many pundits / media say there’s an agenda or conspiracy
Hence he allowed our first goal to stand
What exactly was wrong with our first goal, as photos have proven Walker was back in line with his fellow defenders just before Partey took the free kick ?
I don’t think there was anything wrong
I’m saying if the official was corrupt the moment Kyle Walker complains he would use that as a reason to hurt us ?
I saw nothing in that game where I thought there was a conspiracy
I also think anyone who truly believed that wouldn’t watch the sport ?
Even if there was a conspiracy, which I’ve never agreed there has been, there was no reason to disallow the goal.
But if there was a conspiracy they would find any reason
But they couldn’t as there was absolutely no reason to disallow it.
Kyle Walker would say he was out of position so reff ( who’s got an agenda) would say ,’brilliant I’ll use that as my reason ‘
But he WASN’T out of position Dan, so how could Mr Oliver use it?
Nail on head Ken. Another thing, there were people on social media saying Pep was angry at the ref when he ranted and kicked his seat. After re-watching it, you can see it’s Walker he’s having a go at, as the ref was back near the halfway line.
Will Arsenal lose a game? Almost certainly. There’s a good reason why there’s only been one undefeated season in the modern game and that’s because it’s blo*dy difficult.
Arsenal’s wonderful “Invincibles” season had quite a few close shaves – almost a third of the games (twelve) finished in draws for example. It only required one of those to go the “wrong way” for whatever reason and history wouldn’t have been made.
That’s the fine line, so with 32 games left this season it’s very likely that, at some time, it will go the wrong way at least once.
Don’t forget Bertie, George Graham was only one game away from being an Invincible manager himself!!
So it’s not impossible and we’re the only club who has done it once and just ine game away from doing it twice.
As Fergie once said, the Invincible season eclipsed anything he ever achieved and look how arrogant manure fans are!! 😂😂
We probably would have done if Adams had stayed out of jail
Or Bouldy hadn’t have gone off injured in that single defeat
Won’t happen
No Dan, he DID stay out of jail!!
I didn’t mention jail lol.
That’s true, but one is enough (unfortunately). It’s not impossible, but I think it remains very unlikely, nevertheless.
we had this story last week…yawn
Are you saying I have posted the same article twice? Or, God forbid, two of our contributors have a similar opinion?
We are not invincible and losing at a point in the season won’t mean end of our chance at Epl trophy. Let’s not get ourselves worked up on this we should remain optimistic.
The signings of Calafiori and Timber have really strengthened the squad and that is paying dividends. And Merino hasn’t even had a chance to do his thing yet, so things are looking positive. Whether they go unbeaten or not doesn’t really matter to me. Would be nice though, and not losing games does help to win trophies.
The writer was only wondering not that he’s saying we will not lose any match… I see the article as a kind of complement to the good work of the team….This is not arrogance in any form… Let’s enjoy our good form so far.
This Man C team is so difficult to beat that we could go the season unbeaten and still miss out on the top spot. Being hard to beat is great but you don’t want to draw too many games 2 draws are worse than one loss So we need to have more of a winning mentality in the prem and the UCL is when we should bring our hard-to-beat status to bear.
We are not going unbeaten
Without micing words, Arteta has done us proud, he’s taken over a club that had a single manager,tradition and style for many years, and rebuilt, reinvented and modernised them, he’s made them contenders, that alone is something to be proud of.
Tomorrow may be our first lose
Then una body go calm down
Havertz.
Martinelli. Trrossard. Saka.
Merino. Rice.
Kiwior. Gabriel. Saliba. Calafiori.
Raya.
So you’ve dropped Partey?!
I have the feeling that our defeat will come from unexpected team like Southampton possibly due to the usual ref mistakes.
I hope am wrong!
Usual ref mistakes, it is for exactly this reason why Arsenal must put this game early to bed and kill any lingering hope.
Theoretically & mathematically an Arsenal side could go unbeaten again, and it’s quite depressing to hear someone laughing the very idea off. Wenger was also laughed at when he suggested that we could do it, and although nobody is yet saying that we will, I don’t think it’s an impossibility.
Allot of things are mathematically true which wont happen
It’s depressing that we can’t be humble and make statements which make us a laughing stock
If Man United suddenly finished 2nd and started comparing themselves to the Treble winners wouldn’t you say , win something first ?
Wenger had a group who had been Champions and competed
We have a young group who can’t get over the line when the pressure is on .
Lets do that first before we say they can match the greatest team in our history lol
No by literal language , it’s not impossible but It won’t happen
Yeah, this squad most likely won’t do it, but my point (however juvenile) is that it could happen any time with any squad from now on until…
Yeah and until it’s mathematically possible Southampton can win the domestic double
But you use your eyes and knowledge and make an opinion
Look at the players we have , not at a level where we won’t lose a game
Just like everyone said we would win all 5 first games , win every game or win the CL
It’s called not being humble
I don’t think it’s impossible either – never say never in football – but it is very unlikely in my opinion, nevertheless.
Nobody at Arsenal is saying it because (fortunately) nobody there is daft enough to give such a hostage to fortune. Can you imagine the headlines? I bet you even Wenger was surprised when Arsenal did it – even though he thought it possible.
