I appreciate what the man did for the club and count myself as privileged to have witnessed to some great football over the past 9 or 10 seasons (especially considering how shit we were in the 80's). However, I think TH14's decison to leave was probably not just a footballing decision. It probably had more to do with his personal life. Having said that, his departure has led to the guys in his shadow (Van Persie, Adebayor, Walcott, etc.) playing in a way which suggests they have had a weight taken from their shoulders. I wish Thierry all the best for the future, and thank him for the best footballing talent I've witnessed in my 50 years on this planet. I can't say the same for that treacherous dog Cashley Hole. I've no sympathy or love for the man after the way he conducted his departure from the club. I hope he chokes on his ?60k a week. (Is it me , or are footballers wages obscenely high?)

I think you speak for all Arsenal fans there, both on Cashley C??l and Thierry Henry. You'll get the same sentiments, and you're probably right about TH14's private life in his decision to go to Barca, but it has definitely had an enormously positive effect on the younger players that have been coming through in the last couple of years. I've got nothing but respect for Arsene Wenger in the way he nurtures young talent. Just look at Fabregas. 20 years old and he's some player already.

Bloody hell! What am I doing waxing lyrical about the Gooners? And me a life long Spurs fan too. By the way I'm not far behind you at 49.

"thank him for the best footballing talent I've witnessed in my 50 years on this planet."


A marvel he was, but I still think for me* a couple of players I hold in greater (if inconsistent) esteem**, your very own Bergkamp, (yeah shoot me down) a certain Monsieur Le Tissier, and of course Tony Cottee***.


* can't really speak for pre 1980

** well, england league wise, I leave world cup greats aside as we saw them oh so rarely

*** joking!!!! sort of

Greaves was a great no doubt, just before my time is all (apart from Saint & Greavsie).

While I'm on the subject I still have a place in my heart for bonkers ref-pushing, dubious saluting, sporting, amazing goal scoring Paolo di Canio. All time great, perhaps not, but he is to me!!

To quote Greavsie "It's a funny old game". Jimmy has certainly put a few noses out of joint by saying he would rather watch the egg chasers than a game of footy. Still, he's entitled to his opinion, bless him. What ever happened to his side kick, Saint?

When I lived in Liverpool, he was a commentator for Liverpool matches on Radio City, which is pretty much their version of Capital. I guess he still does it, the opinionated git... Bless him.

Morning Keef, thanks for letting me know. After his stint with Graevsie, he just disappeared off the face of the earth. Good to know that one of the stalwarts from the 60t's is still around.

I am reminded of the old story - true or not, I don't know, maybe a Liverpudlian hereabouts can confirm? - of the poster outside one of the Liverpool churches which screamed "What will you do when Christ comes to Liverpool?!", to which some scouse wit had added in ballpoint "Move St John to inside right"

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By MCK100 · Posted

      @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).

      Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft.
