Too often in European away ties we play with an inbuilt fear, a fear of making a mistake and not
being able to recover. Last night saw a very indifferent performance from Arsenal, a performance
that the Sky TV team of Parry and Smith.
Within five minutes all Arsenal fans were wondering what had gone wrong.
The international break is over and we resume with the real football. I have stated before
FIFA needs to address the international football calendar. We cannot have a stop start season,
any rhythm that teams have is disrupted. I would prefer a break in October or 2-3 weeks and
another in March, allowing all internationals to be crammed into these periods.
