Tony Adams on Strictly – Voting is OPEN

1 Reply

It’s half time in the Wolves game, and voting has opened on Strictly.

We are all either buzzing as we are ahead and set to lead the league going into the World Cup.

Or we are frustrated as it’s a draw; or angry as we are heading to defeat.

But whatever your mindset, and no matter if you are in the ground, in a pub or sitting on your sofa, take 2 minutes to give Mr Arsenal your 3 votes.

So how do you vote?

Firstly, make sure you are registered on the BBC Website (if you are already registered, just sign in and head over to the Strictly homepage).

You only need to register once and you will stay signed in on the device you registered with unless you choose to sign out.

Once you are signed-in, head over to the Strictly homepage.

When the vote is open, it will appear at the top of the Strictly homepage. If you can’t see it, try refreshing the page.

To cast your votes, select Tony & Katya, click the ‘plus (+)’ icon next to their name so that a ‘3’ appears in the box between the ‘plus (+)’ and ‘minus (-)’ buttons.

Finally, click ‘Submit 3 Votes’ at the bottom and you would have now voted for Adams 3 times.

So lets get voting. And turn Adams from 100/1 outsides to 2022 Strictly Champion!

Set the Alarms – Tony Needs You

1 Reply

This weekend will be the toughest for Tony Adams to get through.

It has nothing to do with us being into the business end of Strictly Come Dancing, or that Tony was rough round the ages last week.

The main reason is that The Arsenal play at 7:45 tonight.

That means many of us will be in the ground, in a pub, or our thoughts elsewhere occupied. But we must not forget to vote for Tony!

At least with a 7:45 kick off, we have the vote at half-time.

By the time we have 2-3 minutes injury time, that half time whistle will blow at around 20:33 – just as voting opens. So no one really has an excuse.

But so you don’t forget, set an alarm!

We have ours set to 20:25 to enable us to post a blog and send reminders out across Twitter and Facebook.

Make sure as that whistle goes for half-time, you share the message in your WhatsApp groups and across social media.

Tony Adams continues to upset the apple cart. The Strictly faithful are crying. They are calling for him to stand down.

But he is a winner. And whilst we stand with him, he will remain in the competition.

So remember tonight, vote Tony!

Oh, also, Arsenal have a game today against Wolves. For a pre-match preview, read another blog!

League Cup exit won’t change Arsenal’s transfer plans

I hate being knocked out of the cup competitions.

For those saying “it is good, we can now concentrate on the league”, my guess is football is a TV show for you.

Winning trophies and days out. That is what football is about. And the League Cup can often throw up so cheeky different away days, and concludes with a trip to Wembley.

Due to the World Cup, we do have to fit games into to a shorter period of time, but “freeing up time” by being knocked out of the League Cup means nothing if you finish the season trophyless.

I also think it would have been a huge advantage getting through to the next round.

The last 16 of the League Cup is due to be played around the 19th of December – a week before Premier League football returns after the World Cup.

Even if you are in the “glad we are out camp”, you have to admit it would have been nice to have a competitive game to blow the cobwebs off prior to the game against West Ham.

I am not upset about the team Mikel Arteta put out. It was pretty much the team I expected.

And we looked decent, taking the lead with a fantastically worked goal. Then Karl Hein slipped coming out for the ball and it was penalty, 1-1.

We shouldn’t pile onto the young keeper. He is a talent and what happened is a once in a career incident.

At 1-1 we had the chance to win, but could not finish. Then we went 2-1 down and the heads seemed to drop.

For those saying “our squad is too weak, we need to improve it”…this is not exactly breaking news or an insightful take.

We all know that we need better cover for Thomas Partey, a new winger to provide competition to Gabriel and Bukayo Saka, and perhaps a new striker.

We may or may not make signings in January.

It will be a bit like last year where we won’t sign a player for the sake of it. A new signing will only be someone who is one of our top targets.

There is not point going for a 6th or 7th choice winger, who we do not really want, and then you don’t have the money in the summer to sign your 1st or 2nd choice.

Mykhailo Mudryk is a name we have been linked with a lot. If he is not available until the summer, I would rather wait than spend £15-20m on someone else who we do not want for the long term.

Some might say “that could cost us the title”, but realistically I do not think we will win the title this year. And would making a Lucas Perez-style signing really make a difference in the title chase.

Tomorrow, we need to bounce back strongly. Beat Wolves and go into the World Cup top of the league.

Enjoy your Friday.
