Why would a Gooner be sulking when Arsenal kicked off the 2025/26 season with a much-needed win? That was the question posed after Ian Wright’s comments in reaction to the game.
Some pointed out that this Manchester United side finished 15th last season. However, Wright insists that despite United’s poor campaign, they still represented a tough opening fixture.
Wright’s verdict on the win
Speaking on Arseblog, Wright explained:
“If Arsenal had Bournemouth or Wolves in their first game, I would have been a lot more comfortable than I would have been going to Man Utd – even though it’s this Man Utd team.
“So again, I just look back and I think to myself, yes, for everything that entails for us and what we’re trying to do this season, going to Man Utd and not playing anywhere near like we know we can… but look at our bench as well.”
He went on to stress that, in the end, the result should have been all that mattered:
“Not playing nowhere near how we can and getting a 1-0 win. And the discourse – I cannot, I can’t understand it, Andrew. I can’t understand it.”
A step towards a winning mentality
Three seasons in a row, Arsenal have played some of the most exciting football in the league, yet still fallen short. What they have lacked is not flair but the ability to grind out results.
Last season, Arsenal lost the same number of games (4) as Liverpool, who went on to win the league. The difference was that Liverpool found ways to win tight games.
United may have played well in the opener, but come the end of the season, that performance will not count for much. The only statistic that matters is Arsenal taking all three points.
If the Gunners can continue to pick up results when not at their best, it could be the long-missing trait that finally gets them over the line. With the win, Arsenal are now 22 games unbeaten against the traditional big six, with 13 wins and nine draws.
Do you think Wrighty’s got a point Gooners?
