Arsenal and the Absurd
Morning Positive people, In contrast to yesterday’s blazing sunshine a still day with patches of brightness this morning. An apt metaphor for my mood over the past 24 hours in relation to football. First, the game itself I think, because that is what football is about. I often barely mention the content of the game […]
Moja je Arsenal puna jegulja*
Good morning fellow sufferers, A result in Zagreb that surprised and disappointed in equal measure. Not a terminal blow by any means with five games in the group to go and our qualification firmly in our own hands but a poor start. It is the result that in reason seasons we risked, for example in […]
A Little Less Contemplation, a Little More Action
Good morning from an early Autumn Norfolk, the faintest tips of gold beginning to show in the trees. And what of yesterday? Our opening 10-15 minutes were superb, as excellent a start to a home or away game as I can recall since we demolished Naples in October 2013. Stoke were immediately opened up by […]
“People Want Success. It’s Like Coffee, They Want Instant” *
My fellow Positivitas, another Sunday has rolled round and with our fourth game of the PL season, has settled. I think we are all now a little more confident and able to raise our eyes to look forward and upward. The game yesterday was predictable in form. We dominated possession, pushed the home side back […]
Reality Leaves A Lot To The Imagination*
Morning +++’ers and I guess that like me you have been gently turning over last night’s game, like a tumble dryer at a slow speed, little flashes of bright cloth, amid a whirl of rather confused and apparently damp fabric. What of the contest itself? A disturbing first half. Hesitation, nervousness and careless passing from […]
Arsenal, La force d’habitude
Good evening Positive Ones and we have had a rather good afternoon, those of us who have had the good fortune to see the game from Selhurst Park and later ‘events’, haven’t we? For those like Tim who have responsibilities elsewhere then it is a pleasure to come. Reviewing what for me was the first […]
“Commencing countdown, Engines on, Check Ignition and May God’s Love Be With You”
So the long close season is drawing to an end, the evenings are shortening, arable crops stand tall and golden in the fields, cheery yokels chew on a shared stalk of straw by my gate, and the slamming of the transfer window is no longer the distant dream it was a billion tweets ago. Hip-Hip-Hooray! […]
A manager is a guide
Morning Positivistas, or for those of you taking in the blog elsewhere in the world or later in the day good afternoon, evening etc. I am coming into the morning with a greater serenity than yesterday, the job “done”, the adrenaline subsided, the tools required for this supporting malarkey cleaned and stored in the shed […]
Third Place Reeled In
Morning Positive people and it is raining heavily in Norfolk this Monday morning. Despite that damp start to the week a satisfactory footballing start to the week with our CL qualification to the group stages all but* confirmed by Mr Dean’s final whistle and two games to scrape the point that will place our name […]
Patience can be bitter but the fruit is always sweet
Morning everyone and I trust there is a spring in your step this Tuesday morning? Another pleasant Start to the working week after last night’s demonstration of the football art at its best. You saw it, you coo’ed, you purred, you WOW’ed at Ozil’s back heel to Sanchez about ten minutes before the end. Even […]
