We've come a long way from Mustafi and Luiz as a CB pairing... [shudder]. Gabriel and Saliba are the real deal (Mosquera looking great too), and we're lucky to have them.

Re the #Arsenal performance and result yesterday: The thing I keep coming back to is that Arteta’s behaviour at halftime, and in the second half, showed that he clearly acknowledged the mistake, whatever he said in the press conference afterwards. That gives me hope.

Had a wonderfully restorative weekend with my wife & dog, going to the beach & a woodland for walks (well, rolls for me 🦽). Feeling recharged & in a very +ve headspace, with renewed vitality. More challenges to deal with, but I’m ready. Bring it on. Time for another journey of reinvention.

Already? Low bar. You’ve hardly had a taste of me. More where that came from. 😉

I do wonder if you’d be up for an online chat about the MS thing though. I’m at a crucial point and would value swapping notes if you’re up for it.

Mark Adams @mark-adams.bsky.social · 18d

You are welcome. Was quite taken aback by how clear and funny you are. I’ve found some of your other articles about living & working with MS and they are so salient to me right now. It’s like the Universe has put you in front of me, just when I needed it most (you can hear the melody there). 🎶👌🙏

@classroompsych.bsky.social I deleted my earlier post about you because autocorrect changed your name to ‘Core’ for some reason. Back up now, with your rightful moniker.

Stop it!

Mark Adams @mark-adams.bsky.social · 22d

Once Marti reclaimed control (after the slightly loose touch with his head), I had no doubt he’d bury it. Great to see.

Mark Adams @mark-adams.bsky.social · 22d

Great to see Marti backing himself to use his pace and go past his man. Delighted for him. (And Trossard).

Mark Adams @mark-adams.bsky.social · 22d

Really enjoyed that well-crafted article. 🙏

We will be announcing the Aspen Psychology Services #coaching workshop schedule for 25-26 very soon… Watch this space. In the meantime, here’s a picture of our new 7-month-old Jackhuahua pup, Scooby, who has joined the family having needed to be re-homed. Those ears and eyes… Oh, my heart ❤️

It’s made the game demonstrably better. End of.

Mark Adams @mark-adams.bsky.social · Jun 20

Pivot!

Mark Adams @mark-adams.bsky.social · Jun 8

Haven’t given it much credence since Henry came second to Nedved. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mark Adams @mark-adams.bsky.social · May 20

I was also pleased for you that you finally got to finish that one mission you hadn’t previously completed. How satisfying.

@drewwagar.bsky.social Hey Drew. I was very into my Spectrum as a kid, and I really enjoyed your playthrough of Elite, along with the reminiscing. Lots of fun.
