Arsenal had turned a corner, they said.

This season was different, they said. We obviously forgot about the November curse. Thankfully the Gunners came through for us. An injury to Héctor Bellerín, coupled with Carl Jenkinson being Carl Jenkinson, meant a first Premier League start in over a year for Mathieu 'oh yeah, he's still at Arsenal' Debuchy. https://twitter.com/MOliverFan/status/756548662734512128 https://twitter.com/TheM_L_G/status/802865642131099649 Debuchy might have only signed for the club in 2014, but for many he's a relic of The Old Arsenal. A defender who might have been good once, but no one can really remember as he's missed so much game-time through injury. The French international's 22 games in an Arsenal shirt sounds low, but at the same time it's a struggle for non-fans to remember more than a couple of his appearances. He made a bright start, but if you were to guess the outcome of his long-awaited return, you might go with 'injured inside 15 minutes'. And you'd be right. https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/802882639946465281 It was shocking news that absolutely no one expected. https://twitter.com/gregianjohnson/status/802882470047870976 https://twitter.com/Jonny_Singer/status/802869482440060929 https://twitter.com/DvashDavid/status/802882218104393728 https://twitter.com/DribblerHazard/status/802885784764383236 The phrase 'peak Arsenal' is overused these days, almost to the point that it is now devoid of all meaning, but we're going to stick with it. And we're not alone. https://twitter.com/FunnyGooner/status/802882430227148801 https://twitter.com/nonseux/status/802884080106962944 Catch up with this week's episode of Football Friday Live
