I sort of feel like we were damned if we do and damned if we don't


don't pay Walcott enough and sell him? "The Exodus Continues"

pay him? "He's not really worth it"


to be slightly fair to Walcott, if I was him and saw Arshavin and co on 100ish a week I'd be pushing for equity too


We're offloading some expensive deadwood, we have the money so on balance I'm happier he is staying than not


But he is good enough? Jury is still out with the suspicion that he isn't - but we'll see

That is bloody shocking. Southampton have done well recently and hit a good run of form after a shaky start to the season. A great result at Chelsea in the week, only losing two games in their last twelve. And who the hell is Mauricio Pochettino? His record at Espanyol isn't that great. What the hell were the board thinking? What a way to treat the manager after all the good work he's done for them. I feel very sorry for Nigel Adkins and Southampton's fans. A very poor decision. If their form slumps now and they end up relegated then board have only got themselves to blame.

It was in Arsenal's interest to sign him up even if they eventually sell him, longer contract = bigger fee...don't forget he could've walked away for nothing in the summer. I think his alledged demand to play as a central striker would've put many potential suitors of. Wenger doesn't seem the type to bow to such demands, however Wenger's soundbites have been interesting lately...the perfomance against City was 'timid'...he was 'scared' that Walcott would leave...maybe not the one-eyed meglomaniac afterall...

Don't get me wrong, I think Walcott has lots of potential as a front man, and maybe the signing of the year for the gunners. I just dislike the way he's gone about his bussiness. He was interviewed after a match a couple of weeks back, and I just thought "you arrogant little turd". Shame, because I've always wanted to see him do well.

Walcott has definitely improved since coming inside recently, though there are times when he still does his headless chicken act rather well when he shows us that he's just a shit Aaron Lennon. His finishing has got better and he's scoring more. 100 grand a week is what you get these days for being half decent at a club like the Wanderers. If he can develop into the Henry type of role he craves up front then its money well spent and at 23 there is plenty of scope for improvement.

Bollocks! Sandro is out for the rest of the season. That's a fecking big blow to Spurs. He is an absolute beast of a player. He's been brilliant for us. Scott Parker can replace him but sometimes runs out of gas after 75 mins and at 32 isn't getting any younger.

If you have one of those remote control atmosphere generators can I borrow it for my visit to the Emirates for Wednesday's rearranged Boxing Day game? It'll be my very first visit to the Library - thinking of wearing my crepe sole brogues.

Stamford Bridge still has it on loan, but I can do you a good deal on a job lot of these...

      Lost Cat Henslowe & Underhill Road

      By jfern · Posted

      Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
