A long wait

.

Arsenal are back

the premiership resumes

I am conflicted.

* I am not sure about the rushed resumption of football. I always favoured an abandoned season and reset to starting this season next season, but the money gets in the way.

Gunners at home

A father and son

both alike in preference

are Emirates bound.

Arsenal v Wolves

 

With all guns blazing

and excitement running high

hunting down the pack.

Baku haiku

 

Preparing myself

for a disappointing night;

learned pessimism.

  • As a lifelong Arsenal fan, I am used to the upset of disappointing European nights. The best form of protecting myself from any hurt is to enter into the spirit of things with very low expectations. Arsenal take on Chelsea in the Europa Leage final in the rather bizarre setting of Baku in Azerbaijan tonight, and in my mind we have already lost and I am trying to come up with a coping mechanism.

 

The beautiful game

 

Naples in London

twenty two battle it out;

new gladiators.

  • on anticipating a tense match tonight between my beloved Arsenal and Manchester United (boo). Always a juicy fixture.

Under new management

 

Unai Emery

and his red and white army

a new football chant.
