A very good friend of mine who played pro Rugby League Mick Withers once missed 5 months of a season on abdominal strain which just would not clear up.

Yep, they are shit. You wake up and feel great. You gingerly warm up and feel great. You gradually increase intensity and eventually get to a full sprint and still feel great. And then you cough funny and are out for another 2 weeks.

The worse thing for the Arse to put a winning streak together… is that they are going into each game knowing they are a good hoard of points behind us… That in itself is massive pressure before a ball is kicked in the game, which only intensifies if the match doesn’t go to plan… it will drain the energy from the players legs, minute, by time wasting tactics minute !
Mentally, this alone will wear them down…
It is most definitely our title to lose now, and with us scoring winning goals, in the 91st and 93rd minutes of a game must have been absolutely soul destroying for them, their fans and any media that are trying to champion their cause…!

Music is great and can influence mood instantly, but dear me…
“He also rigged up speakers playing You’ll Never Walk Alone to prepare for what turned out to be a 4-0 defeat at Anfield in November 2021.”
This has to be one of the most nonsensical attempts in football history.

If you want to motivate and give your players a lift, you play them Bolt Thrower or Judas Priest, not this crap.

His sense of music is as bad as his sense of motivation.
I think it’s genius. While he had them distracted by the music, he sent in that pick-pocket to go through the dressing room.

Won’t last. It’s like one of those Manc corners being turned.
That’s why the screenshot.

Hopefully they should be able to rally in in the 7th inning and get some lads on base.

“He is evolving well, the last few days he was feeling much better already, but this game (Zagreb) comes a little bit too early for him,” Arteta said.

He should stick to “Another one bites the dust”
There could be confirmation bias at play, but I just read comments from Arteta about Jan signings and cringed.
He claims they need signings (bad message to give to existing players), is talking to his players about it (see previous), and is eager to get away from data because he needs to know…[insert series of clichés].

He said Saka and Jesus were short.
