Thread: There was this chap. A calm and dignified gentleman.

    There was this chap. A calm and dignified gentleman.

    He was our greatest manager and the heart and soul of our club. He embodied the values to which we were supposed to admire. Honesty, integrity, decency, loyalty. Forebearance, perseverance, steadfastness.

    We discarded him like a used tissue because we needed someone 'better' who would make sure we didn't get gubbed at Anfield.

    Oh.

    I didn't even bother watching it, tbh. When I learned that we'd been gubbed, I realised to my surprise that I had no real feelings about it. I think any vestigial affection I have for Arsenal is finally leaving my system - helped on its way by a team and manager for whom I care not one jot.

    Good ebening...

    not as badly gubbed as one might have worried. And there was a few positives to take from the performance. Pepe giving VVD plenty to worry about, for one.
    “Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”

    Could have been 2 up before they scored. Based on the pen they got, we should have had one as well when VvD pulled Pepe's shirt. Although playing without a midfield for 75 minutes was novel

    Nicely done, a.

    Don't forget George';s shady shenanigans, mind.

    bit of a 50:50 that one, I thought...

    An error of judgement, is the technical term I believe. I'm sure we've all put our hands in the biscuit tin when it wasn't elevenses on the odd occasion.
