Actually, I have some sympathy because the report of that match seemed eerily similar to the scenario we have seen so often with Arsenal in rcent seasons. Dominate a match, create chances, look odds-on to win, get caught with a sucker-punch, lose the game (or get 3 points snatched away with a late equaliser). All of it occuring at home as well.

Four wins from four at home is the only statistic that matters to me so far this season. If we win 15-17 of our home matches we will challenge for the Championship.

THE VERY TINY TOTTS ZERO STOKE CITY 1

“IF THE TOTTS WIN THEY GO TOP,” said Sky Sports over and over and over again.

Now, lets get it right tomorrow.

Tell you what, my local team Corby Town won as well. (Conference North if you are not familiar with the finer points of the lower league. Torquay got another draw, which edges them slightly up the 4th division, although still in real danger. (My parents retired to Torquay and the last few games I went to with my dad in his later years were at Torquay, so I have a very emotional link with them).

On the other hand, I really feel for “Arsenal-general” because we all know time is money.
But Mr. Arsenal-general, my son has a little shop and you can buy some extra time over there. But must tell you as time is money it isn’t cheap.
So if you would like to make up the lost time just tell me how much time you lost and I will tell you how much it would cust you to buy the time back.
But no refund if you waist your time again.

I reckon that goal is allowed because the outside object did not come into contact with the actual ball.

Or that squirrel that we had in a Euro game at Highbury comes onto the pitch and bites the refs knee – he falls over, VP kicks the ball, hits the refs head and bounces into the net. A goal I think.

Our ladies team is very awesome aren’t they?

This is a tricky game and the players need to be at full concentration at all times…a 1-0 win where the ball deflects Song’s hairdo into the goal will do for me!!

Torquay United in the EPL would do a lot for me. So would MK Dons. Or Corby Town.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS This post was copied from Online Gooner. Now I am not a contributor to, or direct supporter of Online Gooner, but they did feature me on their DVD of last season, so I think I really ought to do my bit to protect their copyright. So I’ve cut the rest of the piece.

Me? Long story but I do look forward to the day Leeds make it back. Genuine ‘big’ club who for a 70s footie fan like me do belong in the 1st Division!

What about you?

tonys combination of cheerfully optimistic and the blood/claret team colour thing was probably a wee bit over your head.

inspite of their hard luck story, we have to beat them tomorrow. and then we can comiserate with them on their hard luck.

perhaps the ‘i’m forever blowing bubbles’ will become more apt when their financial heads are so underwater they’ll need scuba gear to do the accounts.

as we enjoy history on this blog, i thought i would mention billy bonds mbe. an outstanding player who made almost 800 appearances for his club, was captain for 10 years, and picked up silverware, a feat that this current squad are going to find hard to follow.

My piece was just a bit of light-hearted whatnot for a saturday – and “Arsenal General” – if you think it is so awful, you really don’t have to go beyond the second word before you move on to someone who can write better than me.
