Considerably richer than Roo?

In this time of public service cuts, Fire Service strikes and post credit crunch austerity Wayne Rooney has shown his lack of regard for the common man.
Distasteful shenanigans to give himself a major pay increase. A holiday in Dubai at the seven star Burj Al Arab resort, where he has been indulging in Chicken Nuggets chips and beer. This alongside his use of Prostitutes and smoking makes him look like someone completely out of touch with the public and the public’s perceptions. I honestly expect to see him soon lighting a fat cigar with a twenty pound note whilst tucking into a happy meal.
considerably richer

The working class kid from the street kicking a ball on the street corner routine doesn’t work anymore. Rooney is just a primer example of the modern English footballer; Out of touch and brimming with arrogance. Hardly surprising that there was not one English player nominated for the Ballon d’Or.

I hope the in debt Man Utd money men is happy to be paying so much money to a player of dubious character, who clearly doesn’t look after himself and who is not rated as one of the worlds best.

The thing is that he generates income for the old Trafford club as he is a role model to many akin to the self proclaimed Lotto Lout Michael Carroll; and we all know what happened to him.

  1. Thatcher started the destruction of 'society' and NuLabor applied the final blow. Is it surprising that in present day UK mediocrity is encouraged and rewarded. It's the best that can be expected from a society that is failing.

Reasons to be cheerful?

So November arrives with cold weather and grey skies. Arsenal sit in 2 nd place with a great chance to make progress in the Carling Cup with a home draw against wigan Athletic. Poised to win   our Champions league group and with six months of the season left have 3 of our five tougher away fixtures out of the way, having taken a respectable 4 from 9. I say respectable as, the Man City away trip aside the draw at Anfield on the occasion of Hodgson’s first game was a good result and the Chelsea game I don’t think anyone can really speak of any injustice. That leaves away games at Old Trafford and Sp*rs (who as we know raise their game for this fixture). With injured players gradually returning and the Polish goalkeepers showing signs of optimism, we’re in relatively good shape. Or so you’d think. Yesterday at the Emirates West Ham were put to the sword late on after some stout defending, a good performance from Robert Green and a couple of missed opportunities. The level of indign...

There's something rotten in the state of Denmark

A number of blogs are pointing out what was evident to me yesterday; as a season ticket holder and Silver member i like thousands of others made plans to purchase an additional ticket for the Barcelona game using the frustrating and irritating online service, but guess what? no joy, just lots of waiting finger tapping and watching the dreaded 'loading' bar (to make matters worse I had asked my missus to do this as I was doing training). But no one got these additional tickets, that is no supporters judging by the general feedback! It seems to me that the additional seats will have probably gone to customers of a corporate nature. Ultimately for such a marquee (to use an American commercialism term) game I suspect that the club where never going to sell to supporters of the club, there is clearly a undercurrent at the Emirates that the club wants to have the stadium full of customers ie; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ognvWIwjKTQ The Emirates of the future?

PERSONALITY TEST

Played 23, 10 defeats, 4 draws and 9 victories; that's the factual bit out of the way. What does that tell us? I guess it is a set of statistics that reasonably reflect a mid table team. How we got here is something that countless column inches and hours of debate have gone into. How we move forward is the bigger question. Naturally, learning from past mistakes is a key element to moving forward but have Arsenal Football Club done that? Have Arsenal Football Club realised that a clear vision and plan is needed? When you look at the current squad its relatively easy to see where the strenghts are, and the weaknesses. The manager too, has strengths and weaknesses but one thing that is intangible is the personality of the club. Not so much "where are we" as "what are we?" To know what the club is is to know what the upper echelons think, what their plan and philosophy is and how the manager processes  that information. We can assume that the club decision makers wa...
