It is not a good time to be a Gooner right now that is if you cannot take the trolls from rival fans and pundits alike. Having suffered three defeat in a row it is the worst start that I have seen Arsenal made to a season since I began supporting them in 1979.
When the fixtures were drawn and we were away to Brentford immediately the gut told me that it would not be easy as the Bees were making their first ever Premier League appearance in their history and they are a settled side.
As luck would have it, we missed a number of key players that could have made the outcome a bit different and perhaps on another day a better luck decision wise regarding the home side second goal when Bernd Leno was prevented from coming for the long ball into the box.
Against Chelsea and Manchester City we were not expecting much as the gap in quality and experience were there to be seen by all. Our cause was not helped by Granit Xhaka's bizarre decision to make a two footed open stud lunge against City when it was obvious it was unnecessary at all.
A glimpse of joy came in the 6-0 demolition of West Bromwich Albion in the Carabao Cup.
The international break should provide ample time for Mikel Arteta to come up with a way up from the bottom of the table and the match against Norwich City at home tonight is seen as very crucial for Arsenal to get their season back on track.
The Canaries are sitting just a place above us with the goal they scored against Leicester City before the break being the difference as both sides were still without a win but Arsenal are yet to score in the league this season.
I am hoping someone will break the duck tonight, I do not care who as long as it is an Arsenal goal and a few more coming Arsenal's way afterwards will bring an upmost joy to this Gooner watching in Kuala Terengganu.
But given the circumstances, 1-0 to the Arsenal all season will be just as good to me.
