Our last two trips to Craven Cottage have been deeply frustrating affairs. We're a better side than Fulham, there's no question about it, but they have found a way of late to outsmart us when it matters. Be it smart defending, wily transitional play, ruthless finishing or all of the above, the Gunners simply haven't … Continue reading Fulham vs Arsenal: Time to banish ghosts of recent past
It still feels like it's early in the season and too soon to be making definitive statements and yet, despite that, our chances of an elusive Premier League title look like they've slipped away.
