TOASTING THE ARSENAL AT THE LANE

It's not a question of North London bragging rights, top dog status or which team is closing the gap on which; it's about three points in The Premier League. Tomorrow's game is between two teams who are equaly average at the moment. It means more to Sp*rs (it always has, let's get that crystal clear) to beat Arsenal than vice versa. That's not to say I don't enjoy a victory at WHL a bit more than some other wins; I do.

What I'm looking for tomorrow is to see some players in red who understand what this fixture means outside of the context of the three points.

What it means I think is this; To beat a team with a set of supporters that have so much bitterness in their hearts is to prove that their bitterness and hatred is rooted in something other than just a football match. The Sp*rs resentment has built for nearly a century and its based on an inferiority complex, jealousy and that over riding feeling of bitterness.

I want a win tomorrow, I'll take a draw but if we come home with nothing I want to have seen a performance for the fans. Let's face it, to show something against that lot cements the status of a player. Who can forget Freddie flicking the Vs hitting Chris Armstrong and kicking off in the WHL tunnel? even though we lost that particular encounter Freddie was a hero.

That's what we need; some heroes in Red and White. We have seen some great Arsenal goals at WHL over the years and this in a way, exemplifies the understanding that those players had about the need to squash the mood of the WHL rabble. Our records against them speaks for itself but lets look forward to the future and restoring our form; then as the season unfolds we can look at media comparisons between the clubs.

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...
