Accidents DO happen. There were no studs up it was just one of those things in my view. It is a fast paced contact sport... he isn't the first and most certainly wont be the last.


As usual utter drivel comment from Wenger .... "With Diaby, Eduardo and now this... I don't think it's a coincidence".

It's entirely possible to see all 3 incidents as unrelated and a coincidence AND yet still understand why Wenger feels the way he does. Not many people in his position could easily brush off three very similar and serious injuries. If what he is saying is wrong doesn't make it drivel... it just means he is seriously upset and feeling unfortunate.

For me if he says it is not a coincidence then he's saying that all other premiership teams are plotting to break Arsenal players legs.... which as we know is rubbish. Yes I'm taking that at it's most literal meaning but I really don't believe any teams gets a real "going over" in the Premiership.


If anything there are personal grudges that sometimes overflow on the pitch. Ruddock breaking both of Andy Coles legs took some doing.... Roy Keane on Alf Inge Haaland etc... but no team think they will be able to just go kick 7 shades out of another team. Teams from the bottom of the league have to play harder againts the top teams if they are going to get anything out of the game simple as that. Wolves will NEVER outplay Chelsea (although anythings possible this season).

What exactly is the point of sending the last man off as should have happened to Vidic today? The attacking team got a penalty but the foul hardly merited any card. I could understand it if it was outside the penalty area where there was no real reward apart from a free kick. However inside it, surely a penalty is enough unless it a very bad foul. What do you think?

Yes , and it will probably be another player who is just starting to establish himslef , as was the case with Diaby, Eduardo, and Ramsey

Drivel, how so? What would Ferguson have said, or any other manager for that matter in the same position as Wenger. I venture to suggest the air may have turned blue at the very least. I wouldn't have been as diplomatic as Wenger. It's strange how all of Wengers comments are minutely scrutinised and dissected and on the wrong end of criticism, if Ferguson, Redknapp, Moyes, or the appaling Allardyce had made similar comments I wonder if you would have made the same comment, I very much doubt it.

The problem with a foreign Manager is they are often more articulate than your typically challenged British Manager and so it is assumed they are in total control with their comments whereas likes of old whiskey nose appears to have lost the plot with his rantings and is thus excused of his conveyor belt of bile by his mates in the media.

The inference being then, I'm gusessing here, is that it's a Johnny Foreigner thing. British managers can say what they like and it seen as merely venting their feelings and showing passion, whereas Johnny Foreigner is seen as being an upstart who dares to question the status quo.

Ha, ha. I like the idea of Fergie's 'mates in the media'. One post you slag him for not talking to them and being childish the next you slag him for having them in his pocket. Next you'll be claiming the refs are all his mates too...oh hang on, that was what you kept whinging about last season wasn't it.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
