So now how do we feel? Well, pretty miserable and fed up and all that stuff. No one is actually saying that we spent more than anyone else in the summer because well, the way to improve the team is to buy lots and lots of players, that’s the mantra of the journos and their camp followers. And that is a bit embarrassing for them because that is what we did and it didn’t really work very well. At least not well enough to win at the weekend.

And of course we are back to the injuries too

Yes and you know it is Arsenal because there are injuries. But as we keep asking, why? Why when Mr Wenger was the cause of the injuries as we were told over and over and over and over. Why now he is not there do we still get them?

Away from Arsenal there is one that I really love and it is this from the Telegraph: “Gareth Bale’s Tottenham return was pure romance”. So they are three up with about 20 minutes to go, Bale comes on and they draw 3-3 and thats romance?
But there was one lovely thing from Mourinho in the papers that I really did enjoy. He said that Tottenham were not psychologically strong enough. Does that mean you can think your way to victory? If so, we have football by telepathy. Sounds fun.
Season 2019- 2020
1 Liverpool (C) 38 32 3 3 85 33 +52 99
2 Manchester City 38 26 3 9 102 35 +67 81
3 Manchester Unt 38 18 12 8 66 36 +30 66
We’ve played 5 games, won 3, lost 2. The 2 we lost were at the runaway champions of last year and the clear runners up. We wasn’t brilliant but neither were we embarrassed. It happens at these places and there’s absolutely nothing to be worried about. WE currently sit above Spurs Man City and Chelsea but hey, they’re all still miles better than us, obviously. Despite this the media have to make something of it, which is not fine but that’s what they do.
What shouldn’t happen is the likes of Adams, who’s supposed to love the club, joining in. Not only him but our own bloggs. What is it with these people?
Headline from Football London article tonight:-
“Arsenal’s 25-man Premier League squad confirmed – and there are eight major omissions”
I read the article three times and the only omissions mentioned were Özil and Sokratis, and they couldn’t spell Özil correctly.
My maths is pretty good, so I felt justified in asking – “Where are the other six omissions, major or otherwise?”. I fear that I may never know.
On the website they have an “IPSO regulated” logo.
We live in a crazy world.
