Our website team always regret tech difficulties.
And, yes, ANR has crashed too often.
We now plan changes to stop our service being interrupted so often.
Many thanks for all your emails.
Which I will edit and post ASAP.
The relationship between a blogger and his football season depends on the fixtures, the rhythm of the matches and other stuff.
When ANR crashes, I do other work and lose the rhythm of football, of responding to results, of talking about the team, thinking about Arsenal’s next shambles/next manager.
It was frustrating not being able to react to Arsenal 0 Man City 3, the most shameful cup final defeat in the club’s history.
Time off always gives me a period of reflection, even though I’ve been busy with book projects and a 20-minute TV trailer-that’s-not-a-trailer.
Reflection always helps spontaneous people to slow down. And while readers may see me as an opinionated shoot-from-the-hip football guy, I’m more detached from Arsenal now than I’ve ever been.
Why? Because of Kroenke and Wenger.
The billionaire from hell employs a French dictator who cannot delegate or admit a mistake. And Stan wants Arsene to stay to keep his London franchise profitable.
While half a million gooners want the grey old man to go soon or Soon.
PS. My inboxes contain a lot of very similar emails from friends and readers.
Most say “Don’t worry, Myles. He’s gone. He’s finished.”
