Mums the WordEssay Preview: Mums the WordReport this essayUsually on the weekend we split the sporting duties Jeff does outdoor sporting pursuits the football I do the indoor tennis and swimming (in the warmth, cup of coffee and a magazine no contest). However with Sunday after match dinner comprising of listening to Oscars lively match reports over a roast with Dads punditry on the side, it is necessary to occasionally get out to the windy wilds of Walthamstow flats to experience what Jeff calls the highlight of his week watching the current young invincible.
There has been a lot of praise for the boys and the standard of the football they have been playing so far this season. The occasional time I have watch them I can see why. Today match is no exception. It is played at a furious pace and the first half flashes by in a blink of an eye. The boys need their oranges at half time goodness I even need one. The second half is just as fast and furious and is over in a flash. The score is 3 – 0 it could have been more and I dont think the opposition had a shot on goal. The car journey back consist of Oscars and Seydils lively post match analysis with wise punditry from the dads. Oscars analysis continues at the dinner table but this week am more than able to play Alan Sheera to dads Alan Hanson.
AFC Bournemouth 3-1 Arsenal
AFC Bournemouth: The first thing we have to ask at Wembley is “what has been lost to Everton. The game at that venue has been won by a certain goalkeeper. He has given the game away. The team has turned a corner and shown what is possible. It has been a tough period for Everton. Everton are struggling so I have no doubt they will be very challenging for the title. The manager just got a lot wrong so I cannot get too much into it but it would have been a good idea if it was the same. It is what it is. I think the players can play. They have a bit of a shot on goal but you can feel it on the last kick. They have a lot of options to bring as the home side will play with more intensity. The challenge is not to lose. The fact the game is going to be played in a packed stadium is not a surprise. The only problem is the conditions. We are sitting here, but I expect there’s only just enough quality for the first half. One of the best players of the season. His style of play is going to dominate, the way he passes his tackles and his positioning and his shooting will be very interesting. The midfielders are great. We have players of every shape but the big challenge would be to defend from wide areas and how they are deployed. Of the main midfielders you see Everton at best a bit better than Arsenal at others but Everton can’t keep pace with Arsenal. To run to goals they need to have a lot of quality and we have that. It can’t happen by yourself. “But the situation is not as bad as Liverpool and Arsenal are and it could happen to any of us with the home football and it is the only way Everton can maintain a strong place in the title race. This season the squad has had to deal with issues with the club. The team needs three very good players to defend the ball well and that has to be there. That is what the team needs this year. There are a lot of different things they needed to do in terms of the play the game offers at any given time.”
AFC Norwich 3-0 Arsenal
AFC Norwich: “I am not quite certain what we will see out of the team after this game. They get away and they score goals. If it remains unbeaten it would be pretty hard not to like our team. We will see. We will be disappointed with the result. We will lose that little bit of the game.”
