Sounds like a lovely forest to visit. I shall go, sans gun.

Here's a fact for you:

'Arsène Wenger's side have an outstanding record in the final 10 minutes of their Premiership home games since the start of last season. During that time Arsenal have outscored their opponents 20-0. This represents nearly a quarter of their goals scored in that entire 17-month period.

To put Arsenal's prolific late scoring rate in perspective, their closest challengers over the same time frame is Liverpool with nine goals. And while the Merseysiders have shipped goals in the final 10 minutes of home games, Arsenal's defence has not been breached.'
