I'm not sure how I feel about Sunday's game. A win would feel more hollow than it should

[Monty91]

against them lot, a draw will probably suit both teams and a defeat will be annoying but will still leave us in a strong position to finish 2nd or 3rd.

Of course, the important thing is that we boo Premier League Champion-elect Cesc Fabregas and let him know just what we think of him. Grrrrrrr.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

We turned him down, not vice versa.

[Berni]

I'd prefer his every touch were greeted with an eerie silence, but that's more difficult to orchestrate.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Monty91]

Yes. Yes he absolutely will.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I shall be enjoying a post-prandial snooze in Le Touquet.

[Luis Anaconda]

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

A brief and far from unanimous boo upon his first touch, then forgotten.

Did he not come back and play against us for Barcelona??

[Berni]

[Monty91]

Like our fans are capable of an emotional reaction as nuanced as irony :hehe: :clap:

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

What was he to do, sign on the dole?

We turned him down, not the other way round. If his snake-like departure of the club rankled so much then no f**ker would have wanted him back but many many did.

[Berni]

had changed and was roundly booed. I think that was supposed to be ironic, too. PV seemed to laugh about it, anyway.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

[Berni]

English team, with particularly scathing reference to Chelsea.

[Berni]

Or I may have the early-onset Alzheimer's.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Monty91]

think is a pretty honourable compromise.

Manu Petit retrospectively said he would also never have gone directly to Chelsea from The Arse.

[Luis Anaconda]

Got a great reaction at the start

[Monty91]

[Berni]

ga-ga?

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

When I am not sure if Cesc was even playing but for sure there was no signals being given about the old order having changed.

It was, in short, a f**king disaster.

[Berni]

It was the first time Sir C came to my place to watch the football and have a bite to eat.

He and I really have a terrible record of watching Arsenal games together. We should never let it happen again.

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

If not the opening game of the group stages then the opening home game, back at a time when we were very good and would have had reasonably high hopes.

As deflating a result as Benfica those 10 or whatever years before.

Of course we proceeded to hand them their arsehole in Milan.

[Berni]

good side was infuriatingly capable.

[Berni]

Where in God's name has the time gone?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Not a good time.

[Berni]

[Berni]

...Oh. I see what you mean. :-(


:-)

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Peter]

And it is definitely my preferred result.

[Monty91]

losing leeetle bit the sharpness for the Cup Final.

[Luis Anaconda]

'It might have been'


I still take the three points though

[Pat Vegas]

[arse-nick (avid-analogue-addict)]

standing ovation. :clap:

[Luis Anaconda]

A deal with Chelsea was already in place before his availability was declared public. Irrelevant that we had first shout - the player went where he wanted to go

[Ashberto]

Probably *******s, of course.

[Chief Arrowhead]

[Bergkamp's Brain]

that is all I care about

[redgunamo]

[Alexism - Atheoist]

What worse misery is there for him?
