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."

    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise
