GUNNER WORDS

 
“They (the press) are loving it because not much comes out of Highbury. But keep your self respect and remember who you play for and what that represents.”-George Graham

In these stressful times when all around us are rubbing their hands gleefully and internal turmoil rocks the ship with squall let us remember that players and managers come and go but, many that have served us and competed against us hold true to one immutable truth, and that truth is that The Arsenal prevails. Never, ever forget what a truly great club we all support and love.

“They were at their most dangerous when they didn't have the ball!”-Kenny Dalglish 1998

“We were blessed with a backbone of men with character who demanded excellence from others”-Don Howe

“Sometimes there is nothing better in life than being a Gooner” -Kevin Campbell
 
“I like to let my football do the talking, I'm respectful of other good teams such as Arsenal.”-Ryan Giggs

 
“The greatest one player over the years has to be Liam Brady. He is simply the best player I have ever seen in an Arsenal shirt” -Tom Watt

“I think without doubt that Dennis Bergkamp is the greatest player to have played for Arsenal in the last thirty years, for as long as I can remember” -Liam Brady

“Arsenal have got as much chance of being handed the title by Spurs as I have of being given the crown jewels”-Alan Mullery 1971
 
 
“I would not normally say this as a family man, but I am going to ask you for the sake of this football club to put your family second for the next month. You have the chance to put your names in the record books for all time”-Bertie Mee 1971

"What’s it like being in Bethlehem, the place where Christmas began? I suppose it’s like seeing Ian Wright at Arsenal” -Bruce Rioch

“I have not a single bad word to say for The Arsenal – it is a great club to play for”-Charlie Nicholas
 
 


“Arsenal have won that advantage, nobody gave it to them. By playing fantastic football and by winning matches and by winning trophies, they won that respect that the opponent has for them”-Jose Mourinho
 
“I told my son John that Howard Wilkinson wanted Daddy to play for England. He told my daughter Olivia and they had tears in their eyes as they asked me, ‘does that mean you’re not going to play for Arsenal anymore?” –Lee Dixon


 
“They talk about Bobby Moore and Dave Mackay as great captains, but for my money McLintock is more inspiring than either of them”-Don Howe
"I happen to agree with the bookmakers that Liverpool's progression to their tenth league title in 13 years is as sure as the sunrise."-James Lawton 1989
 
"Thomas, charging through the midfield, Thomas, it's up for grabs now..." -Brian Moore 1989

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...
