Doesn't matter if it takes time as long as the trend is in the right direction. Having said that I think this is only a half measure and what also needs to happen is that the no-smoking message gets ramped up in primary schools. Let the kiddies have a good sniff at what a heavy smoker smells like (you can always tell when one is approaching you from behind because the aroma precedes them). Show the kiddies images of yellow-stained finger tips and teeth and the difference between the pink-and-shiny lungs of a non-smoker vs the black lungs of a smoker. Then explain to them how the tobacco industry is all about profit for the few and give them examples of the underhand measures they take to get people addicted. Don't hold anything back and get the message embedded into the heads of the little darlingsMy eldest is in year 5 and a few months ago he came home telling me all about tar in lungs. It seems they had been shown something graphic that illustrated the impacts on the lungs of smoking. I remember something similar when I was at secondary school and it inspired one of my mates to pack in smoking.
So does that mean it’d be ok for Hughes to make a fuck up of our transfers this summer if it’s early on and it’s his first season at a big club? I think this summer, we need to get at least 3 or 4 transfers spot on or else we’ll be sliding even further behind city and Arsenal who will no doubt strengthen their squads as well.
Arteta is a c*nt but he is one hell of a coach. I still maintain that at both ends of the field Arsenal don't have top quality but what he has done has been able to build a system which suffocates most Premier League sides, so much so that they don't need an absolute elite backline/goalkeeper or striker.
That would not work in Europe however and in the CL, where you need to have both a system and that individual quality. But for the Premier League its been highly effective.
Konate had injury issues before we signed him, as did Thiago. Jota also had lots of niggly spells out for Wolves and we signed Nunez despite him having suffered an ACL rupture a few years ago. Maybe we should look at players who have proven that they have a good availability record?
Arsenal and Man City have won all 7 of their par 3 away games. We dropped 7 points in ours.

If you are going to sign players like Kudus, you dont sign him after he has made a big move. Since that big move he has been good but isnt good enough for us. It would be paying a premium for a decent player. We need better.
