Struggling with the pain of not achieving is so much more palatable than struggling with the pain of not even trying. The victory of achieving is not greater than the victory of getting into the competition.

I enjoy sports, in particular I thrive on European football in the EPL and UEFA competitions. I love Arsenal Football Club since the 90’s when I was first exposed to it. As a fan I have a right to appreciate and cheer my team and support them as I am able. I continue to do so.

February is almost over. How are you doing on the annual goals? Forget the goal and make a habit out of it. Goal to lose 10 lbs? Make a habit out of daily exercise. Goal to earn more money? Make a habit out of applying for new opportunities. Goals have a habit that realizes it.

Wanting to change your life? Change your habits. Many habits were developed as a response to things outside of your control as a child. Other habits were developed to cope with unexpected stress or issues. Consciously developing habits that support your goals will transform you.

How can Michael Oliver be backed by PGMOL as one of the top referees in the world when a challenge like this, that has been claimed to be one of the worst ever, has to go to VAR for a red to be given by him? The same official that didn’t hesitate to send off MLS for much less.

Changing your goal into a habit makes the concept into a reality. Bad habits are accumulated without any conscious effort other than acceptance. Good habits are fostered by intentional effort and repeated actions. Integrate habits that belong in the goals of your life.

Anything that you want does not reside in an area outside your knowledge. The truth is; Everything that you want resides in the action of habitually doing what you already know to do.

Not knowing what to do does not hold you back in your life. Knowing what to do and not doing it is what keeps you from your dreams. Stop blaming a lack of knowledge and instead focus on your lack of action. Doing beats knowing every time.

A goal without a habit to achieve it, is a fantasy. For example l, a goal to be a professional golfer without a habit of practice and competition, is a merely a dream. Goals are tied to habits that produce a desired outcome.

Don’t wait to develop expertise. Your expertise will develop as you move forward. Waiting for anything outside of the minimum steps required to take action is wasted time. Acting on feedback will exceed anything gained waiting for knowledge.

Never say you’re quitting something. Instead identify yourself as already having done it. For example never say I’m quitting drinking, the right phrase is, ‘I don’t drink.’ You are who you say you are.

Feeling down? Get up. Feeling tired? Work out. Feeling sad? Act happy. The things that you want are often opposite of how you feel. When you do them anyway you’ve mastered your life.

If you think you can or you think you can’t you’re right. The only difference is in your mind. Regardless of your thinking build a habit that proves to you that you can. Start with something simple then keep repeating. Soon you will know that you can.

Breaking news. Arsenal leadership are so enthralled with the insightful analysis of Arsenal tactics provided by Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville that they have moved to make the pair part of the Arsenal coaching staff. Terms and conditions agreed with press conference today.

Tonight’s the night that Arsenal can turn 2 decades of team and fan frustration into the foundation to build a decade of success. It’s time for the team to stop the narrative of soft to display steel and determination in high pressure situations. Come on Arsenal do it!

Is there a coincidence of multiple hamstring injuries with the advent of VAR? Players standing around for minutes waiting for decisions cools down the muscles then they are expected to immediately get on with it once the delay is over. VAR isn’t wrong, it’s the implementation.

Hopefully the display tonight at Bilbao is everything that Arsenal needs to halt their interest in Nico Williams.

This guard of honor is nonsense. PGMOL and opposition fans already dislike Arsenal. So why not embrace the villain role and refuse to do it? It shows the fan base and other teams that Arsenal aren’t content to be nice guys, bottlers or almost champions.
