"Champions League?You're having a laugh"
Funny isn’t it that no matter how bad things are for Arsenal T*ttenham always manage to be that bit worse? This season the status quo remains, with St Totteringham’s day been and gone this weekend, Sp*rs have also managed to not qualify for the Champions League. Once every 50 years is not bad really I suppose.
Not only have they managed to finish below Arsenal yet again but they have not performed as well as Arsenal even having spent more on players this term. Of course the games between the clubs have resulted in a win for each and a draw, but Arsenal’s 4-1 victory at a rapidly emptying White Hart Lane knocked them out of the Carling Cup, much in the same way they were knocked out of the FA cup conceding four goals.
Their exit from the Champions League was another humiliation unlike Arsenal’s; winning at home and losing away to arguably the best (and best acting, Referee favourite) team on the planet. All the Sp*rs rhetoric regarding ‘the balance of power’ has come to the sad and inevitable conclusion; Sp*rs are worse than Arsenal.
So it’s a return to Thursday early evening kick off’s on Channel 5 for the Glory, Glory boys. A recap of Eastenders and they can pick up where they left off after a season with the big boys. I expect we will read the usual excuses in the comments page but lets face it; Sp*rs flatter to deceive time after time and in a season where, I will gladly admit, Arsenal have been poor ,Sp*rs have still been unable top come out on top.

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

"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...

LEAGUE OF ORDINARY GENTLEMEN

Sunderland V Sp*rs ended goalless meaning that Sp*rs currently sit third. It was a game that had 0-0 written all over it after about 30 minutes. The baton now passes to us in today’s fixture against Man City. A win gives us a two point advantage and a draw puts us back in third. One side that we need to be mindful of in the shake up for 3 rd & 4 th is Newcastle who have hung on all season and present a threat to ECL qualification. What the SAFC v THFC game showed is the poverty of this current Premier League; it was awful. A cursory comparison between teams in the Premier era makes grim reading for the current state of the game. The Man Utd of 99 would definitely beat the current side, The Newcastle of Keegan, The Chelsea of Mourinho, the Villa of Atkinson, the Blackburn of Dalgleish, The Liverpool of Fowler, McManaman, Owen etc would batter the Liverpool of 2012. Certainly the Invincibles would put the current Arsenal team to the sword. Even teams like Midd...
