Arsenal.
The Arsenal.
I hate playing these, and I really went off Mikel Arteta. He’s roughly my age but someone must have a painting of him in their loft.
I see the progress being made under Frank Lampard and it reminds me of the early Moyes days but with him actually being able to attract a player. We do need to win games at some point though. Having said that, two wrongly disallowed goals on the bounce that would both have been winners suggest we are capable and I’m sleeping a lot easier now than I was through most of last season.
I was actually reasonably happy with the strengthening of the squad. Indicative of this is Demari Gray being the only outfield player starting the Derby who also started last season’s Goodison derby.
All that deadwood we said we needed to shift for ages? It’s mostly gone or going.
Up the toffees!
