"Pulis come to my office after assembly"


Tony Pulis the Stoke City manager is at it again; having a pop at Arsene: “Wenger is perceived to be a genius but he hasn’t delivered a trophy in six years,“I have exciting and skilful players like Etherington, Fuller and Tuncay and I am sure they wouldn’t have joined us if we were as bad as Wenger makes out.“But his comments are aimed at seeking an advantage with refs.“I’ve got nothing against foreign managers, they are very nice people, Apart from Arsene Wenger
Now I may from time to time be critical of AW but I will not have managers of other Clubs having a go at Arsene.
In Wenger’s 14 years at Arsenal he has won seven trophies and been runner up on nine occasions. This second statistic is telling and reflects Wenger’s shortcomings at the moment of truth, but what the facts point to is consistency over a decade and a half; Something Pulis is nowhere near approaching. His major achievement? Guiding Stoke City to the Premier League in the 2007–08 season by finishing runners-up. Hurrah! Unsurprisingly his managerial mentor was Harry Redknapp.
Nothing against foreign managers? No reason why he should have and what’s the relevance of nationality? Little Englander mindset at its most obvious. Seeking advantages with Refs? Surely every manager does this? Etherington, Fuller and Tuncay joining Stoke City? Let’s be honest they wouldn’t exactly be on most top mangers waiting list.And as for saying Arsene is not a nice person; School boy stuff! Like Sam Allardyce Pulis has shown himself to be an underdeveloped character with a delusional sense of self. Most of all he comes across like a disgruntled petulant little schoolboy who needs six of the best. Yah boo sucks to you!

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...

"IF WE BEHAVE LIKE THEM, THEN WHAT IS THE POINT IN WINNING? "- John Connor

"The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that."-John Connor To overcome Skynet was not easy, it involved time, belief and an indomitable human spirit. To beat a machine equipped with superior weaponry and a ruthless access to resources to increase its arsenal took ingenuity and a "never say die" attitude. Abu Dhabi is the ground zero of Skynet and Manchester CXV are the Terminators. The thing about Skynet is that there are no qualms about what their aim is, there are no notions of fairness.  "Listen, and understand! Manchester CX are out there! They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop... ever, until someone stops them flagrantly breaking rules"-Kyle Reese In a landscape where one team dominates it is up to a resistance to topple them, this is made hard when using resources that were ga...

HATE

Then Now Earlier today Captain Kirk sent me the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG1f-v88-kU&sns=em To say it is both disturbing and upsetting is an understatement. We see the beautiful game as something of a mirror to society and try to look on the community of supporters as a positive force. A set of human beings with some values borne out of an understanding of what this great sport of ours can give us. However, it takes a certain amount of myopia from the Football Authorities to proclaim that all is well. The issues that were amplified over the weekend at Old Trafford cannot be trivialised when we see the full extent of hatred; in any form. The violence is shocking as we see people attacked on a basis that is a result of flawed thinking, and the powers that be proclaim all is well; all is not well. So when I look at those images, I have to ask myself this… http://youtu.be/6RVDQgVxprE
