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.

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."

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
