Online petitions then…Eeausch.
The older I get the more hostile I become to things that do not work. It’s like whoever was put in charge of natural selection forgot that there was other stuff out there beyond us animals. So I kindda vowed the only way I’m going within 10 ft of another online petition was if I got paid.
This is worth dragging into the limelight however – and I’m gutted to add, no money changed hands.
There was a time when I let Andy Gray bother me. I remember watching us beat Villa one time and as the third Spurs goal went in, the man who delivers the banal as if it were the word of God nit picked and grizzled at Tottenham short comings and how superior the Villa play was.
But then by being relentlessly exposed to this virus of a man, my immune system kicked in. Suddenly all I could hear was a dull hum of emphatic, exaggerated nothingness. Don’t get me wrong, he still sneaks through now and again. Joe Hart’s penalty save at the weekend was superb. Gray called it as a fluke.
This petition then.
Alan Smith used to niggle just because of his monotonous drone. But his pro Arsenal bias has now reached a point where it needs curbing.
With the score in the recent Cup game at 1-1 he was using phrases like ‘men against boys’ and whilst Jack Whilshire did stand out in the first half, he disappeared in the second. This didn’t deter Smith continuing his pitch though. We got the entire brochure. Each page lovingly hand turned by the devoted fan.
I like passion. I do. I don’t want to listen to a Speak Your Weight Machine. But Smith needs to find some balance. Only a percentage of his audience want to hear him gush about Arsenal. But 100% of his audience pay his wages.
Sign this HERE and at least you can tell your kids you tried to do something.
The problem with Aresnal is that they have plenty footballers with passion and pride and they like to express themselves like artists on the pitch. This can be pleasing on the eye, but if they lose a game you will find them all crying on the pitch.
What they miss is some English Steel in their side. Not a word of a lie.
This is why they have not won a trophy for so long.
Theyre a ‘European’ side trying to compete in the premier league which is a different ball game.
Sign some English defenders you c**Nts.
Yep, he’s a cock for sure. Luckily we (international viewers) only have to put up with him on occasion since the international feed from TWI rarely uses his “services”. However, I have found a viable solution to the numpty commentator issue……turn down the volume on the tv, turn up BBC London Radio’s coverage of the match. It might be a bit off sync, but it’s better than listening to twats who speak shite.
COYS!
Dear Harry couid you remove the picture of that ugly gurning barsteward from the top of the page it seems to be a virus on my pc
Apropos of ‘Arry saying that it’s difficult to fit Van der Vaart into a 4-4-2, why doesn’t he just play VdV as a striker? He could do the job of playing off the shoulder of the defenders, at least until Defoe is fit. He’s quick enough for it, and he’s a goalscorer.
Pav could be link man, hold-up merchant and flick-on artiste, and VdV can have the job of banging them in.
We played our best football last season using 4-4-2. We have struggled playing 4-5-1, with a distinct lack of goals being a real problem.
COYS.
Pav holding the ball up or winning a header ?
Never seen him do that myself. Pics or it didn’t happen !
I think we are stuck with 451 for now because Bale and Modric and VDV have to start.
So unless you you drop Lennon and play one of the above three out of position on the right they have to play where they do now in the 451.
Crouch and VDV are starting to look like a partnership and getting goals for now but the January window cannot come soon enough imo with strikers being the number one priority to give us better options and more goals.
FINALLY!! Someone else has noticed it too!
I wait to 21 years of my life to see my team in the Champions League and I have an ex-gooner sounding sooo upset whenever we score a goal. Against Twente when Rafa scored that beautiful goal all Alan Smith said was “Well it was a simple finish, terrible defending”
