Hi Jah, I started last week but the wonderful IT department have only just sorted out my user ID and password. Who says IT people are are overpaid and underworked???? I guess it's time to reflect on a season which at times was full of excellent highs, and full of "might have beens". If I'd have been told at the start of the season that we would finish 3rd, with all of the injuries we've had, and that we'd play some of the best football ever witnessed in this country WITHOUT Henry, I would have laughed at you. So overall, as Le Boss loves to say, I think we've had a bloody good season. With a little more luck and few less injuries, who knows what might've been. Still, I'm happy with what we've done in 2007/08 season. As always my heart has suffered but that's all part of being a gooner. I'll be going to the Reading game on Saturday but it feels like I'm just going through the motions.The joys of following a premiership club eh???

Yeah! Good luck in the new job Atila. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

All of us football fans suffer during the ups and downs of a season and it's part of being a fan of whatever club you support. Having said that...just for you Gooners on here...four years and counting. And, do you think Hleb and Flamini will stay?

As always my view is if they want to go, let them. No one player is bigger than the club. We've let Pires, Viera, Henry, Edu, Campbell, Anelka, Overmars, Von Bronkhurst, Reyes go when they asked to go, we've lost The Ice Man because of retirement, and survived. Hleb is a good player but he's been a little too lightweight for me in recent weeks. If a player doesn't have his heart at the club, let him go. The Arsenal are bigger than any player, and that's how it should be with every club. We've done fairly well without Henry who was supposed to be irreplacable, but who has struggled at Barca.


The one constant in all of this is The Arsenal.

Share the same sentiments as Atila and Sean re the majestic Arsenal - in a season where we were predicted to be dumped out of the top four, possibly by Spurs, I think we can hold our heads up. An I agree that we have got the best out of a number of the players mentioned - Viera and Henry most obviously.

Mark - thanks but am already going. You might want to advertise these on the Wanted/Offered section of this forum.

This on the BBC website, and quite bloody right Rafa, why should he give a sh!t about any other team, Liverpool employ him to manage Liverpool and do what is right for them!


Liverpool lost to Fulham at the same stage of last season after Benitez rested several key players - and he was criticised by Sheffield United for his team selection.


The Blades were subsequently relegated, but Benitez added: "I know there was criticism last season when we did something similar at Fulham, coming from Sheffield United.


"But what did they do in their last game? They lost. So I feel it is sometimes better to look to yourself and what you do.


"Teams have 38 games to play each season, that is enough. So you are responsible for your own luck."

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
