There is absolutely nothing to celebrate, other than the service he has given the club.Quote:

I agree with the need for change. And mixed emotions are entirely fair.Quote:

The very sad day will be his last game.Quote:

Actually, I can't think of a better and more appropriate way for him to leave than to lift his only European cup with the club. That would be truly brilliant and suggest that fate had smiled upon us good and proper.Quote:

So either way it's sickening, despite being the right decision?Quote:

Eh? He still has enormous support amongst the regulars at the Emirates as far as I can tell.Quote:

In the grand scheme of things it matters little. He had to go and he has gone. THe club can move on.Quote:

A fine and decent man in a game largely played, run and watched by utter cvnts has finally been ground down. There are no positives in this story.Quote:

You seem awfully sure about that, p. I wish I had your confidence.Quote:

One positive is this will be the end of Yesterday Once More's raison d'etre

Who said he won't work elsewhere? A National team perhapsQuote:
