Arsenal flies: Arteta’s team is first in the Premier League at +6 on Manchester City and +7 on Liverpool after championship matches, making itself the number 1 favorite for the final victory. But the many 1-0 victories, which bring to mind the “boring Arsenal”, the boring Arsenal of the pre-Wenger era, are worrying in perspective. Can we go all the way without closing the games and risking losing points along the way? We talk about it in the new episode of In the Box, our podcast on English football, with the help of Gazzetta journalist Davide Longo. In this episode we also talk about the prodigious throw-ins of the Italian Kayode, an extra weapon for Brentford, about the rapidly changing hierarchies in the Premier League (this year the newly promoted teams, especially Sunderland, surprise, while Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Fulham are unexpectedly disappointing. And finally, in the column on the history of English football, we talk about Liverpool-Real Madrid, the 1981 European Cup final.
