The last two episodes of Arsenal: All or Nothing have dropped.

As we knew it would be, it was a painful couple of episodes. To relive this team getting so close and not finish in the top 4 sucked then and it hurts again now.

3 takeaways from Arsenal: All or Nothing episodes 7 & 8

There’s a lot to take away from these last few episodes and here are my “mostly” positive takeaways.

1. The protagonists down the stretch

To ease the pain of most of these matches, it was awesome to get a closer look into these players.

Saka’s penalties against Chelsea and Manchester United were unbelievably significant and his mentality was awesome to see. Even more awesome was him hanging out with the kid that wrote one of the many letters after his Euros final miss. Saka is such a loveable player, and I don’t know how anyone can dislike this guy.

Eddie got a lot of focus in episode 7, along with Mo and Rob. These three stepped up in the business end of the season and deserve a lot of credit for their performances. Eddie, in particular, was showing genuine frustration over not playing like the other two, but it was awesome to see his perspective and watch him get his chance.

He absolutely took that chance, and I couldn’t be happier for him.
