Eeyores body language

Av Pelle - 27 december 2008 12:16

Nellie got another soft toy animal from Victor & Sara yesterday. Eeyore. Very nice & cuddlie, but for me it's a direct association to Tony Adams. Currently managing Portsmouth, previously central defender in Arsenal for many years. I've always been an anti-fan of Arsenal and Tony Adams was a symbol for their style at the time. Remember this back line: Dixon, Bould, Adams, Winterburn? Boring and efficient. Today that has changed under Arsene Wenger with much more attractive and offensive style. I still like to see them loose though. Tony Adams was often called Eeyore on the pitch, due to his not so intelligant look and slowness in combination with bad technique. He was still rather successful as a player (19 seasons with Arsenal and 66 caps for England). What I have a problem with right now, is to understand how he can be an inspiration for the team as a Manager. I've seen him along the side at some of the Portsmouth games and he is sending all the negative signals that are possible. His body language is super negative, so it doesn't really matter what he says or how much smart tactical systems that he knows or what kind of experiences he has a player. He needs a mental coach for sure. Portsmouth has lost 3 games in a row now (yesterday 1-4 to West Ham at home) and before that they have mainly managed to collect a few draws against easy opposition under his management.

His predecessor, Harry Redknapp, might not either look like a smart chap, but he is showing the right spirit, which has paid off nicely at Tottenham. I think that Tony Adams will be the next manager to be sacked in the Premier League. It was no surprise to me that Paul Ince got sacked a week ago. He had the same problem. Negative attitude.

Carolina Kluft actually had Eeyore as her mascot during Sepathlon competetions. Carro is always extremely positive and she probably used Eeyore to cool her down and got help from him to reduce the stress & drama from the big arenas and public pressure.

Let's see how Nellie will be able to get the best out of her Eeyore doll. He's in tough competition with loads of Goofy's in her room. Go Goofy Go!

I've lost some enthusiasm for blogging lately, so I will take a timeout for a while. To many other things to do and I am already spending to much time in front of the computer. So if you wonder what I'll be doing instead, I hope that the answ...

Yes, the flu has left my system. It has really helped to empty my body from all kind of energy reserves the last 4-5 days. If I remember correct according to some old body charging theories, it's good to clean out and empty your body, before star...

Time is flying in supersonic speed, so it's good to reflect back now and then, to get a picture of what's happening in life. That's why I now and then take a glimse back in some files to check what was going on the year or years before at...
