Spit Spat Spoils go to Cesc

Well what a surprise!! If the newspaper reports are true that we submitted video evidence that Cesc was still on the pitch when Horton and Brown were in the tunnel then the book needs to be thrown at all of them. It's one thing maybe claiming Cesc spat at him maybe if Cesc was near them and shouting or whatever maybe a bit of gob flew out, but it's another thing entirely for them to completely fabricate this accusation with the sole intention of soiling a young player's reputation. If their plans would have worked Cesc would have been looked upon in a different light by everyone. These men are supposed to be custodians of the game, complete disgraces the lot of em. Come on Boro, and dare I say Newcastle, send these scumbags down.

Heard this morning too that Cesc was cleared on the spitting charge. HA! Now I fully expect the FA to come down hard on Brown and Hull for their lies and sordid little attempts to carry on a lengthy vendetta against our luv captain. As I said before I don't blame anybody for being angry at losing a big match but to vent your frustratration by going in front of the cameras to INSULT the other club and villify an individual on every possible level and THEN to carry on this tantrum for weeks after is a disgrace and totally unsporting. Whatever he gets from the FA (probably nothing- he is English after all), I hope PB gets the ultimate justice on Sunday for all his theatrics- RELEGATION. I suppose it would also be too much to expect from the papers to apologize to Cesc. Snowball's chance in he'll springs to mind.

Sorry AG,didn't mean to come down on all English blokes!! I just meant to point out that the FA will be more reluctant to crack down on an English manager than they would a foreign one. If Wenger had behaved as Brown did, you can only imagine the crucifixion that would have followed.

Imagine if Hull and Newcastle went though! I reckon only Boro might win this sunday and the other 2 will lose. Last minute Own goal and Hull go down on Goal difference would be sweet.

On a sidenote, just seen Arsene's interview on Arsenal TV Online and when asked about Adebayor's future, his body language and answer leads you to believe he ain't gonna be here next season, e.g. "he is under contract". It wasn't an unequivocal "he will be here next season" or "I'm very confident he'll be here next season". I think its the best outcome for all concerned. Ade can sod off to Milan and pretend he's Ronaldo there.

In your face Brown, you horrendous orange t w a t buckle.

If Cesc was innocent, what makes Brown and Horton? LIARS!!!!

where is the media witch hunt to demand an apology from Hull?

Much ado about nowt then as they say up norf!

Arshavin talks back to Wenger, shocks everybody By Myles Palmer It happened like this, I gather. The French messiah gathered his disciples around him in a circle and told them how they would play. The conversation was : "Andrej, I want you to do this, this and this." "But that's stupid, boss !" said the Russian ace. There was a gasp from the other players. They were deeply shocked when the new guy talked back to the manager. In a report today, Arshavin reckons Wenger is not as receptive to his input as Dick Advocaat and Guus Hiddink. He said: "I've never had a lengthy personal conversation with him, the way I did with Dick Advocaat. My conversations with Guus Hiddink were not too long either but we did exchange our views on football. For me, it's important to explain to my manager what I want to do on the pitch. Then he will realise that I make one or another move in a game not because I misinterpreted his instructions but because of my own vision of football." Arshavin speaks his mind. He tells people what he thinks, including the manager. And that's good. That's really good. That is what Wenger needs - more opinions, more challenges, somebody to tell him where he is going wrong. Arshavin says : We need more players like me. Exactly ! We need some men who are not as pampered and precious as the millionaire toddlers at Le Colney Creche. The Russian is a beacon, an exceptional talent who is in his prime. He will be 28 next Friday. He someone to build round, someone with personality. He has enough bottle to ignore a forearm smash in the face and carry on playing as if nothing has happened. He knows he is good enough to star for Man United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, any team in the world. He could be the European Footballer of the Year in the right team. He wanted to play for Arsenal, and the deal was going to be a last-minute compromise, so he hired a private jet, flew to London, and checked into a hotel in St Albans, so he was available to put his squiggle at the bottom of the page. AA is a leader with the confidence to speak his mind. He knows he was bought by Gazidis, not by Wenger. He realises he has signed a four-year contract that takes him beyond the end of Wenger's contract in 2011. Five years ago I was talking to fellow author Alex Fynn and he said, "There are a lot of precious people at Arsenal." It's true. Since Arsenal do not have a British dressing-room spirit, Wenger has had to create his own unique culture behind the remote-controlled gates of his high-tech French kindergarden . Players who have won nothing give interviews saying : I've improved, I'm a better player this season. Adebayor actually said : I'm scoring with left foot, right foot, headers - I'm a complete player. Bendtner talks in the press about his pink boots ! It took me a while to figure out why Arsenal was the only team in UK who could concede a winning goal to Wayne Rooney at Goodison and then lose the next three games. One goal lost them four games. How could that be possible ? Because Arsenal's French philosophers refused to let the game go, preferring to dwell on the injustice, discussing it in a Hampstead cafe, keeping the trauma alive, so that it crippled them. Arshavin would never do that. That's why he is priceless. He is a diamond. If The Professor tries to build round his Putin's favourite footballer by signing more teenagers from St Etienne, there will be crowd mayhem that makes the booing of Eboue look like a primary school picnic.

As long as the posts aren't abusive then we wouldn't look to ban opinion just because we disagree with it. Quite why the same post has to be made in more than one article neither of which it is relevant to proably tells you something about the motive. In any event we have already establsihed that anyone desperate to use Myles Palmer as a point of reference is on pretty weak ground anyway.

The post by OQ is about the most hilarious thing I've ever read. Baffling, bizarre, and what's best--a tone of misguided and undeserved arrogance. Who dates their post?
