IVAN TONEY WANTS TITLES – WHO COULD HE BE TALKING ABOUT"
I have never experienced cold like I have this past week… negative 21 celsius. I live in a 200-year house with wood windows that are ornately huge. They were such a perk in the summer. In the winter" A damn deathtrap. It was so cold in my kitchen, it froze the food in my fridge. I had to chop wood for the fire, buy 2 heaters, and beg the energy gods to show mercy to my weak and decrepit furnace.
Not good.
However, the upshot, is -12 today actually felt warm. Am I… midwestern"
Less about the weather. Let’s talk about Arsenal.
Ivan Toney has been in the news chatting about starting a fashion line and learning how to act after his playing days are over. I like the ambition, but it does remind me that players who are closing in on 30 have things outside the beautiful game on their minds. Coaching badges, business degrees, property portfolios… these are all the things they have to think about, and sometimes it can cloud their focus on the job at hand. I’m not saying that’s the case here, but I do get a bit twitchy after some of our ‘older than 26 signings’ showed a distinct lack of focus when given bumper final deals.
The reason I don’t care about Toney comments is this is a man who has been through it all. He failed at Newcastle, he had to go down the lower divisions, he made it up by getting promoted, and now he’s playing at a very high level with the laser-focused belief that he’s one of the big dogs...
