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."

    • Niko is my go to plumber - he's always friendly, reliable and very good at thinking outside the box for finding solutions. He did have his phone stolen recently and was on a brick phone, so if you tried Whatsapping him, he won't have received it yet but he should have a new smart phone by now. He always gets back to you promptly and is full of good advice and always up for a chat 🙂 Niko - 07818 607583 -  highly recommended!
    • Another recommendation for Niko. He arrived in 10 minutes of me calling him and successfully fixed my annoying dripping tap! He did mention a problem with his phone, think it was stolen, but he is now available on 07818 607583 
    • Well, what a huge surprise! So, while the council digs up local footpaths to plant trees and 'green' the roads, it simultaneously offers up our parkland to private hire for a further extended period of annual damage.  It is hard to see from the map, but it looks as though the footpath that was formerly available to walk along the length of the event site of old will now also be partially used up by the new footprint, it looks like it will be partly roped off? I love how the final council report advise that 'while locals will be unable to use this nicer part of the park for a month ( and actually much of summer as it all gets churned up and has to be reseeded) that this is fine as they can just use the Common instead.    It feels wrong that the nicer part of the park is given over for festival use. I do not buy that, as has been stated, the Common is just not big enough for the Gala event.
    • No sympathy, collect rain water, reuse grey water from the house.  Plant drought gardens.  Have yellow grass in the summer, it will turn green again,.  Not sure why on earth we have this term hard working families - suggests that everyone else is lazy.  Kids cost money and that can continue until they are well into adulthood!  You make your own choices, and it is right that if you use more water you pay more.  I expect most of us have cut our water usage since going onto a meter.
