It’s clear there was never any substance to any of the allegations. And all this indignation from Arsenal fans is really just thinly veiled bloodlust. We know we cannot lose here, so we’re going to town.

Of course my whole opinion would change if Cesc does get get charged on the basis of hearsay, but it seems to me that it’s a lame stab in the dark by a wounded club desperately scrabbling for survival.

After all this I’d quite like Hull to stay up. And then I’m sure PB would benefit from a well earned break this summer and in that time phone Arsene to apologise.

The attitude of Brown and his staff when they came to the Grove for the FA cup game was very different from the mindset they came with in September, and when we went to the KC.

On the setanta broadcast you can hear Brown say “I’m not shaking hands with you” toward our mascot. Brown and his staff came with a planned, meanspirited, highly aggressive attitude and showed it throughout the entire match. Our staff and players were the target of abuse from their bench throughout the game. And apparently we’re just supposed to not react. Horton shouted obscenities at Wenger throughout without any intervention from the officials.

Brown’s entire manner was blatantly and deliberately in-your-face wind-up — he laughed and punched his hand in the air when his player elbowed RVP and knocked him down, and when 3 of his players passed the ball to each other for a throw-in in their deliberate plan to waste time.

Then Brown goes on national TV and lies about our manager in a deliberate attempt to smear his reputation, makes an accusation (with different versions) about our captain regarding an incident that no one else saw and that he can’t prove and then goes on some wild rant about Cesc’s clothes. But the worst thing is his “that’s what their club is about” smear.

That is something I can’t ever forgive. It’s not only our manager and captain he insulted publicly — it’s our great club. I wasn’t paying attention to Hull’s games but now I am. I was rooting for Wigan to beat them and was glad to see they did. I want them down.

Interesting to hear about Horton’s disappearance. What I don’t like is the possibility that Arsenal will just let this pass. They should lodge a complaint against a man and a club who’ve pubicly smeared us with lies.
