While I know that Arsenal have the best defence in the Premier League, (as of now, we have conceded a mere 26 goals all season), I am stunned to learn (as a consequence of a detailed examination of the League Table) that we have scored the second highest number of goals (second to Manchester City) in the table.

Somehow, I had laboured under the delusion that while we defended well, we somehow had hardly ever scored; at least, not unless it was as a result of a set piece, or close to 90 minutes of nail-biting agony.
In over 1/4 of the premier league games Arsenal have played, they scored 3 or more goals.

With £1.23 Billion worth of talent I should think so!

Here I'm trying not to think of the games this afternoon. Really hoping for the best, but resigned to the worst. It's been a fun 14 years. One European trophy and far too many managers recently. Wished we had stuck with Moyes. I think our current manager is decent, but don't think he'll stick around in the Championship.

Yes, I know.

Today, for once, I can rest content - actually, I can relax; a more than happy Gunner, here.

Moreover, I note that Kepa Arrizabalaga has been named in today's team - almost always something that sends a tense shudder of anticipation down my spine, presaging a premonition of horrors to come - and that Raya (doubtless receiving a well deserved rest) isn't even named amongst the subs, although his contribution was undoubtedly utterly vital to the team's eventual success in claiming the Premier League title.

A couple of chances late in for us. But Leeds could also have scored.

Just hope we can get an early goal to settle the nerves in the second half.
 
We’ve had the better chances.
But failed to convert them, unfortunately.
But looking at the Stats looks like Everton haven’t really turned up against Spurs.
Also unfortunate, even though - to his credit - Moyes (whom West Ham should never have fired - as you well remember, he has actually saved them twice) - is on record as having said that he would like to see west Ham stay up, and would try to do what he could to assist achieving such an outcome.
 
West Ham score - and now lead Leeds by a goal to nil; however, elsewhere, Everton trail Spurs by a goal, which means that they must now score twice.
 
And Manchester City - who, in common with Liverpool are saying a final farewell to several club legends today, not least their manager, - are losing to Aston Villa by two goals to one, a state of affairs that I devoutly hope continues.

Kepa isn't Raya.

Arsenal - after several games with clean sheets - concede a goal to Crystal Palace, which comes as no surprise to me, as Kepa was nowhere near it.
