The Ashes in Australia has had a serious affect on my body clock, I seem to be able to wake at before 5am without a problem, now that's early even for me, but this means that I can fall asleepo by the middle of the evening. Today its all been worth it, the cricket from the SCG, what a classic ground, was what any England fan would want. Centuries for two batsmen and the opposition all but ground into the dirt. When Australia turned to the batsmen to bowl you know the white flag is being waved.
Anyway now all I have to do is find the energy to get to Arsenal v Man City tonight. The two clubs that provide fans with the sharpest contrast of how to build a successful team and club. One manager who struggles to spend and the other who simply seems to present the owner with a wish list. Arsene Wenger has been critical of how Man City have distorted the transfer market, and of course he's right. Sadly in a business dominated by short term success ( the number of managers sacked this week must be some sort of record),many fans accept any route that brings trophies. Give me organic growth and the nurturing of talent any day. Here's hoping for three points for the Gunners tonight.
