Good morning.

The good news is in the clip below as Hugo Lloris saves a penalty conceded by an Arsenal player and taken by an ex Arsenal player. Laurent Koscielny did his best to put Pedro’s shin into a different part of the stadium from the rest of him and the resulting penalty was saved well by our new boy.

I know we’ve seen little of him, but he looks right to me.

The bad news is in the clip below and you’ll not be shocked to know that it relates to the nasty treatment that Danny Rose (and others) were subjected to last night.

UEFA president Michel Platini has already threatened Serbia with expulsion from Euro 2012 before a ball was kicked; because of their hooliganism and racist fans. Clearly they thought he was bluffing. Which is funny, because I think he was bluffing.

If Platini does do any more than make a dull speech and call for a low key enquiry resulting in a notional fine I’ll be pretty surprised.

But all football’s governing bodies are the same. Bathed in cash, basking in their own self importance. It’s 2012 and we have two Internationals scheduled. One is marred by right wing thugs and the other is allowed to degenerate in farce as a roof that takes just 20 minutes to close is left open for hours in torrential rain.

I wonder, just much more of a ride the people at the top of football family tree can take fans for before the money begins to dry up?

    If Danny ROSE is not given a pass on the red for whatever reason,I would like to see Danny boy Levy get stuck in and take fifa to court for not protecting his player while on international duty or something along those lines.

  • Habib says:

    Why is everyone moaning about England’s away performance. Havent they seen ANY of Roy Hodgson’s teams play away in the Premier League?

    The fact that the English FA picked him after a full and fair process just diminishes my faith in civilization.

    • BrisbaneSpur says:

      :daumen: But in all fairness atempting to go English provided very limited options (i) pretty average manager generally (ii) reasonable man motivator, terrible tactician who loves a little controversy………

      • Habib says:

        The one talent Harry Redknapp has is to make average players believe they are better then they actually are and that is exactly what England need!

        • BrisbaneSpur says:

          But still felt a little dirty that Arry could be held in that sort of esteem as england manager.. Yes he absolutely would have man motivated players, but as soon as he came up against a team with a brain, it would have shown his aint that sharp….

    • UnkleKev says:

      I’m still baffled by his decision to play four defenders against the joint-worst team in international football at home.

  • Thepin says:

    Habib, never let the behaviour of the FA define your view of civilization. That’s almost as ridiculous as giving Jimmy Saville his own set of keys to the Juvenile ward at Broadmoor Hospital so he can visit the kids – any time he likes!

  • Thepin says:

    The recommended playlist,sung loud and proud, for this coming fixture should include:

    Wheres your racist gone, where’s your racist gone?

    One Danny Rose, there’s only one Danny Rose, one Danny Rose…..

    Terry is a Serbian, Terry is a Serbian, ooohh la, la, la, oohh la, la, la, la.

    Seen Habib on a CFC blog berating some Cheatski C**t who was going to gloat about the Champions league scenario – that’s fine but we shouldn’t let them detract from the real talkng point here. After all, this is the ‘Kick it Out’ showpiece, and it’s our home game – let’s gve it to the w*****s live on TV.

    • Habib says:

      There are two great philosophy theorems yet unamswered:
      1. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable force.
      2. Who is bigger c*nt? Arsenal or Chelsea supporters.

      Wish Plato was still alive

      • LLL says:

        2. It is definitely Chelsea. Arsenal are smug, preening, fickle and foolish. Chelsea are just scumbags, the lot of them.

        • essexian76 says:

          Arsenal have achieved their success (told you I had a good memory),by diligence hard graft and good management-Chelsea are just a shitty little outfit who happen to have a mega rich Jewish owner-Ask Eden Hazard if he’d have joined Spurs if we’d have got into the CL-and the answer would’ve been a resounding-yes please, where do I sign?

        • Habib says:

          Oh yeah I forgot about how Hazard trolled us before signing for Chelsea! Wow this gives me extra impetus to wish on a win!

        • essexian76 says:

          Yeah.. and good luck with that Habib-but it’s like shooting fish in a barrel-In fact you’d be off talking to the fish

        • essexian76 says:

          -better off-

  • John says:

    Great penalty save – shades of Pat Jennings away to Liverspots in the early 1970s……..he saved two penalties in that game…………….We have a new Pat Jennings now………..

    As for Serbia, well as Benny Hill once said – Jugo Salivia…………….the Balkans is where it always starts……………

    Just drop a bomb on the place……….an atom bomb.

    As for Cheatski (the Blue Racists – I do like that one)………..I remember April 1975 when we beat them at home (I was there) and helped to get them relegated………lets start again by knocking them off the top of the EPL this Saturday.

    • LosLorenzo says:

      Yeah, f*cking slavs all deserve to die for being racist. Oh, hang on…

      • BrisbaneSpur says:

        for what….? :shifty: :ermm:

        • LosLorenzo says:

          Well, you see, I’m struggling now. Because anyone can see that they deserve to die horrible deaths. I just need to formulate a rationale that makes killing all of them less bad than their trying to kill all the Bosnians, Albanians and Croats. It’s a thinker…

        • LosLorenzo says:

          Oh, that’s it. They tried to kill all those people, whereas I’ve never advocated killing anyone. That is why it’s OK for me to advocate killing the, but not OK…

          Damnit! This isn’t working.

        • LosLorenzo says:

          They’re dirty Serb bastards, OK. And it’s not racist to say that, because they’re so dirty. And Serb.

        • BrisbaneSpur says:

          Got yourself in a bit of a tiz now! Calm down there LosL…… :sleeping:

        • BrisbaneSpur says:

          although I did once here a gencide could be a truly stressful occasion…..
