All through my life, I’ve at all times prided myself on being a very good sport.
Soccer, Boxing and Cricket are the three sports activities that I take pleasure in probably the most, in that order.
As a boy and adolescent youth I represented North Tyneside at soccer, I used to be additionally a member of St Edwards ABC in Whitley Bay.
I used to be stopped from taking part in college cricket after an altercation with one of many tutors.
This didn’t cease me trying ahead to the Callers Pegasus two day bonanza at Jesmond every year although.
I used to be at all times taught to be magnanimous in defeat by my father and due to his philosophy, moderately than simply settle for being second finest, it really drove me on to be a very good winner and gracious loser.
I used to be indignant at first, almost about the Mikel Arteta / Arsenal response to their defeat towards Newcastle United at St James’ Park on November 4th.
That anger has subsequently given solution to unhappiness.
Unhappy {that a} as soon as well-known footballing establishment like Arsenal have stooped to the extent of their petulant and ignorant younger supervisor.
I’ve listened to the referee / VAR audio dialog on the time of the Anthony Gordon successful aim towards the Gunners.
It simply gave me a firmer perception that there was nowt unsuitable with the aim, that this entire episode has simply been one almighty bowl of bitter grapes from begin to end.
All of us recognise Arsenal as being one of many self-entitled Septic Six.
We simply didn’t know the way far they have been actually really up their very own jacksies.
I don’t associate with all this “thoughts video games” nonsense that got here to the Premiership fore underneath Sir Alex Ferguson within the nineties.
I name it intimidatory bullying and attempting to coerce and affect future choices. In different phrases, dishonest.
Arsenal suppose that they’re big-shots, however I actually don’t suppose they’re something particular, not in at present’s pecking order.
Some media pundits and followers have a behavior of going means excessive about sure groups’ possibilities.
Arsenal are a kind of groups.
That is undoubtedly as a result of they’re from the South, so they need it to be actual and true.
I’m at all times a glass half full man.
For all their Rices, Sakas and Odegaards, I wouldn’t wish to change something that is happening at Gallowgate, to be just like the Gunners.
We’re heading for the very high and as soon as we get there, the assets shall be lastly in place to make life there sustainable over a few years.
It took Manchester Metropolis 4 years to win their first Premier League title however that was nicely earlier than the present Monetary Truthful Play rules have been carried out.
Whatever the restraints, I imagine that Newcastle United shall be Premier League Champions by 2027 on the newest.
Arsenal by that point, shall be a few managers down the road and in our shadow.
I shall be to listen to the response of this as soon as elegant membership to the launched audio by the PGMOL.
