Morning all.
If there were bits and pieces yesterday, there aren’t many today. We’re in full Interlull mode, but Arsenal Women were in action last night and endured a 5-2 humbling away at Bayern Munich in the Champions League. It has added to the pressure on head coach Jonas Eidevall, and with Chelsea on the horizon this weekend, this could turn out to be a seismic seven days after the disappointing draw with Everton last Sunday.
I know you can’t judge a situation based entirely on Internet comments, but it feels like the scrutiny he is under is pretty intense, and faith in him is pretty low. It’s something Tim and Jamie spoke about in the latest Arsenal Women Arsecast (recorded after the Everton game), and last night will only have heightened that. Let’s see how it plays out, I guess, and remember you’ll find the best coverage of the women’s team over on Arseblog News.
Elsewhere, I saw Erling Haaland being asked about throwing the ball at the back of Gabriel’s head in the game against Man City last month. As you might expect, he’s not exactly contrite, and while some people have taken exception to his comments, I don’t really mind them at all.
Let’s remember what Gabriel said afterwards:
I don’t even remember this. It’s normal, they were happy after scoring in the last minute. It’s a battle, a war and provocation is normal in football. Now it’s over and we’ll be waiting for them at our house.
Except we know Gabriel remembers. That’s what he does. He keeps the receipts. And when he exacts his revenge in our next game against City by scoring a winner with his head, then lifting up his shirt to reveal a t-shirt that says ‘Stay Humble!’ before launching an entire range of ‘Stay Humble!’ merchandise, we’ll all have a great laugh about it. Erling Haaland included, I’m sure.
*cough*
Meanwhile, things are going well for on-loan Nuno Tavares at Lazio, who has provided 5 assists in 5 appearances so far in Serie A. Thankfully…
