I miss Nicosia. He was like a low ranking STASI functionary patrolling the

message board and reporting anything remotely unorthodox to his superiors. Even a suggestion that Mr Wenger's team selection might have been suspect had him bristling with righteous indignation.

I wonder if even he's had enough of the old french tit's sophistry and spin. I presume he still has his season ticket?

And you think you know better, my friend?

He was the master of passive aggression.

[SWv2]

And you think you know better, my friend?

He was the master of passive aggression.

He was a nice old bloke to be fair but he took the whole Arsenal thing very, very seriously.

Some may say a little too seriously, it being a game and all that.

He was very much a fan of thon Rachel Riley.

Filthy old búgger.

A decent mathematician and now football presenter. All short skirts and long-ish legs. What's not to like eh?

Why? Does she play for Spurs

It is a game, my friend. But then, so is life. How are we to discern a difference between the two?

[Burney]

And you think you know better, my friend?

He was the master of passive aggression.

Yes. Although sometimes it wasn't all that passive.

He was also spectacularly over-sensitive and would take offence even on the rare occasions when absolutely none was intended.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

Well he was chased away by the man you chased away so in boxing parlance that makes you the man who beat the man who beat the man.

[redgunamo]

Yes. Although sometimes it wasn't all that passive.

He was also spectacularly over-sensitive and would take offence even on the rare occasions when absolutely none was intended.

He's a victim of changing times, I guess. In the days when most of those of a mind to criticise Wenger were supporters of rival clubs, his responses made perfect sense. But since nowadays, much of that opprobrium towards the manager comes from fellow Arsenal fans, that approach has become inappropriate.

Amongst ourselves, we ought to be able to discuss these matters in an honest, manly fashion.

[Pat Vegas]

Yes. Although sometimes it wasn't all that passive.

He was also spectacularly over-sensitive and would take offence even on the rare occasions when absolutely none was intended.

Once he went down my comments were edited route he couldn't really get out of that one.
