Woah, I just thought I made a bad joke.

‘“There is an overwhelming weight of scientific evidence supporting the fact of global warming”.
No there isn’t FG……’

But Civil Servants who have no political agenda are pleading with councils not to build on any more flood plains, to set aside land for flooding. Why? Building regulations have changed. Some think the construction industry in the UK is five years behind Germany, some think more. Some don’t care. Hence the reference to drain and gutter specifications.

Scientists in Oxford have been researching alternative energy for decades. But I guess the JET Fusion reactor is just a hoax.
Thatcher nearly killed the institute. After all, with such close ties to the House of Saud, and, er, Abu Dhabi Citeh, who needs science? The first successful firing of the JET reactor was on the day Thatcher resigned. How’s that for politics?

Speaking of Vik Akers and his knees, has any team ever before had two OBE’s on the technical bench?

Time to get a third for Pat Rice!

Hi Toni, I’m one of the new bookmarkers from these recent months and must say Untold Arsenal became one of my top three fav Arsenal blogs.
Looks like your prediction for January just come true…

Manchester IOU to issue bond for debt interest payment.. wow that’s how desperate their finance are. They’re pledging their fans to buy the bonds (not shares) to pay for the mess Glazers get them in.

“There is an overwhelming weight of scientific evidence supporting the fact of global warming”.

No there isn’t FG……

There are lies, damned lies, and then there’s global warming……

@ Hartwick89
This is not politics, it is science. And the internet is also full of rubbish, lies and distortions. As an Arsenal fan you should know that. You need to utilise your powers of discrimination.
Colder weather in any given place does not mean that the overall climate is not getting warmer. Weather refers to short-term conditions, climate describes conditions over hundreds or thousands of years. Also, paradoxically, the release of cold water from melting ice affects sea temperatures and could cause warm currents like the gulf stream to change path or cease, which would make the UK (for example) colder – as cold as places on a comparable latitude.
There is an overwhelming weight of scientific evidence supporting the fact of global warming. Its existence does not depend on one category of data in one study. The figures from a whole range of indicators over many years point to the conclusion that the earth’s atmosphere is warming up. The evidence of today – melting ice-caps, rising sea levels and increasingly extreme and erratic weather events – are predicted by the model of global warming.

As far as I’m aware, I have not contributed to the purchase of Al Gore’s mansion.

My apologies to Tony and all the regular readers for going into this non-football area. I will now withdraw from this discussion.

Tone: I had a feeling he would play one of the two, we needed the solidity they provided. Good display from Fabianski though

(Sorry for the politics folks I just have to respond)
OK FunGunner, Irony is no one can prove global warming or show it except you and Al Gore. Only he owns a jet and a mansion you helped pay for(Theoretically that you and he say is the root cause of the invention)! In fact I believe the data that was presented from the UK was just determined to be false and purposefully misleading via e-mail because it showed exact opposite of the current lie portrayed. You need utilize the web; it is the answer to truth hidden. Kind of like the daily reporting of The Arsenal. It’s sort of like the reporting SAF gets vs LAW….One sided, biased etc. The good thing is LAW’s proper running of a football club is in the beginning stages of a Golden Era. While SAF is on his way to retiring and MU will begin to fall apart.

That’s why Weger is a genius. Who amonst us thought he would start with Vermaelen and Gallas at the back!?

Good & Tidy second half. The substitutions heralding Diaby & Nasri was so very inspiring. The change gave Zest to our passing and therefore helped the focus of our attack.

A very intriguing piece, Tony.

@ Hartwick89
You’re confusing the weather (short-term) with the climate (long-term). Global warming and the consequent climate change are real, unfortunately.

What a fantastic fightback for the boys today. Now please, please, PLEASE can we have no more injuries for a bit and get some players back?

There is no debating Global Warming I mean Climate Change I mean whatever the politicians want to call it after they prophesied doom and gloom would happen already. Just look at how warm it is here! Expecting another 8 inches of snow…Too funny! Almost as Ironic as the scoring summary I mean did you see Ramsay’s goal? What about Eduardo’s? I am beginning to think maybe we should recall Simpson for more Front-runners? Maybe Gilles Sunu…

Two assists for Vela from the LW.

I’m loving the fearful symmetry in this squad.
Walcott on the right as he develops, Vela on the Left.

I could carry on through the rest of the squad…

eduardo! vela looked good, too.

that kick on diaby was awful.

night folks! almost 4am from where i’m watching.

Tony, that is really funny! I mean where are you getting these ideas? Anyhow, well done to the boys. West Iceland scored one and parked the bus and playing only counter attack. Introduction of Diaby and Nasri did the trick for Lord. Should we call him Lord Trick? Wilshere and Merida will come good in time. I hope Merida sticks around though. Ramsey is really coming of age.

Walter, the ref was a joke! Are these guys getting worse or never really good in the first place?

Well climate change may still be a debate in some Dante-esque circles, but I hope for his sake that Tony Pulis has got his overflow pipe to the correct specification.

And what a bad display by the ref at times…… yuk

A hard fought victory in the end. Thanks to goals from Ramsey and Eduardo we put it right just in time. Could have been more in the closing stages as we were all over them.

Merida had a not so good game and I fear the G&D brigade will have their knifes sharpen for him in the next 2 years…..
