ARSENAL GO BIG
Well, good evening, my friends.
I’m going to power through a short bulletin of things that have happened. If you came here expecting a 4,500-word essay today, I’m sorry. Please respect that I can’t always be that writer for you. I know you’re all emotional because of the break, but pick it up, we’ve got our football back, so let’s get our heads straight.
First on the docket:
Pep Signs New Deal
Mr. Guardiola has signed a new deal with City—a one-year contract with a +1 option. This is interesting for a few reasons:
Did he sign the deal because he thought his players were underperforming due to uncertainty about his future?
Has he signed to project confidence that the charges against City will amount to nothing?
Are there any release clauses in case things go south?
Has he taken @BrexitBarry1998’s comment, “Pep could never do it in the Championship,” a bit too seriously?
We can’t be sure. But for those panicking about what this means, take a walk and have a serious chat with your partner about your behavior.
