Is this a blessing? Or is it a curse? Does it get any better? Can it get any worse? Will it go on forever? Is it over tonight? Does it come with the darkness? Does it bring out the light? Is it richer than diamonds? Or just a little cheaper than spit? I don't know what it is but it just won't quit (Meatloaf)

Wie geht's?

The one pm news conference, broadcast live on TV One, is back and is now woven into the fabric of our lockdown days.

The desire to hear news first, to be up to date is a modern phenonomen.

Because of fibre and fast internet and 24/7 news, people like to be the first with news. Gone are the more relaxed days of newspapers and TV's evening news, when it took a whole day to find out vital information. Now we need to know the instant a decision is made.

And then we need to spread it about to others. It's a weird human thing - the need to be first.

Thanks to our phones and notifications - we can all be first.

Unfortunately that can not be said of Arsenal F.C. at the moment.

Arsenal F.C. have made their worst start to a season in my lifetime. After spending up large in the transfer market, we now find ourselves bottom of the Premier League. Three loses. No goals scored.

As Meatloaf says - Does it get any better? Can it get any worse?

Well yes to both and with Spurs on top of the table, and us bottom, it just got worse; the gulf has never been wider between the two rivals.

It's a tragic/comic situation. It's a slow motion train wreck - happening before my eyes. One of those things that you just have to keep watching in morbid fascination.

Love and peace from a suffering gooner - Wozza
