So yeah, it's kind of been, we had like four or five weeks there between like the international break and the FA Cup weekends where kind of nothing was happening.

And now it seems we're all in the race to get everything done and finished as quick as possible.

It's like, I think it's two months to the World Cup today as well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I had the Bayern Madrid game on the big screen and I had the Arsenal game following along my phone.

But even at that, I was like, this is nothing happening here.

And there's never really anything happening in Arsenal games.

It was like two different sports almost between Arsenal Sporting and Bayern and Real Madrid.

And I know Arteta has got quite defensive over, you know, he's like, come on, guys, we should be happy.

We're in a Champions League semi-final.

We're top of the league by...

six points and have an opportunity to go and put their marker down against Man City but yeah the style of football because they have such a nervous and defensive style of football and they're relying on kind of the small margins of set pieces and stuff like that it's just made the whole thing more tense more nervous and I think one of the benefits this weekend actually is Arsenal playing away from home and

And see if they can do something at Man City.

But they haven't won at the Etihad in the league since 2015.

So they have a bad record there.

But what an opportunity it is for them to go and kind of do something about it.

it's interesting you go back and look at the Amazon documentary that Arsenal done a couple of years ago and one of the big things was you've got to be brave but you've got to be brave on the ball and in possession you've got to be willing to take the ball and to take risks with the ball and to do it so that you have a greater attacking threat at the opposite end of the pitch and Arsenal are just not like that at the minute they're playing safe passes all the time Declan Rice is

passing backwards, his form has dropped off a lot, I think, the last couple of weeks in particular.

They look quite tired.
