of course no team wants to lose but I can guarantee you that the reaction by the Chelski fans after today's results are nowhere near what would have occurred if we shit the bed on opening day... the difference is they have tasted EPL success on more than one occasion recently, they have won the Champions League and they have done it with 3 different managers in the
last 12
years with a similar, if not smaller, wage bill than us... in comparison, we have been experiencing our own personal Groundhog Day with nothing to show for it but a
few silvery trinkets that would barely wet the appetite
of a world - class club... so it's time for Wenger to stop gloating
over our week one escape act and make some substantial moves before this window closes or I fear that
things will take a horrible turn when the inevitable happens... living on a knife's edge is no way to go through a full season
of football and regardless
of what side
of the argument you fall on, you could feel high levels
of toxicity in the air and that was friggin week one... I would much rather someone tried their best and failed, than took half - measures and hoped for the best
Why did we ever think that
things would be perfect and the addition
of a
few new faces would fix a team that has been put together by four different managers, many
of the players having looked broken at various times
over the
course of the
last few years?
During the
course of The Lost Girls»
year - long adventure around the world, Amanda, Holly and I tallied numerous brag - worthy adventures (hiking the Inca Trail; sandboarding down mountain - sized dunes; rafting
over a 21 foot waterfall), unique cultural experiences (capoeira classes in a world - renowned Mestre Bimba academy; initiation into the Kenyan Maasai tribe; a homestay in a Hmong village) and a
few near - misses to keep
things interesting (getting stranded in Peruvian desert / hitchhiking a ride from a priest in a minivan; foiling the dastardly attempts
of bag - slashers in Vietnam and Thailand; breaking embassy records for successfully begging for
last minute visas).
