This is supposed to be what our manager knows, so most of the time I guess its down to the small brained football player to make the decisions, because I cant believe Harry would have sent them out to play like that.

My point about not blaming Harry was not about team selection which you may not agree with but that the players on the pitch let him down with terrible performances. The defence went missing for all of Arsenals goals and the onl;y one with any credit was Friedel. The midfield was overwhelmed and Parker made so many late tackles it seemed like his objective was to get sent off. The only one to achieve what he set out to do.


As I said before it is now imperative to beat Man U or more pressure will make our position vunerable.

Oh one more thing, we don't want Harry to go allegedly but one of our throng is now using an avatar of another manager and I for one don't want to see smug mug on here. To paraphrase Keith Burkinshaw this used to be a Spurs board.

Couldn't read the article Arnie. For some reason my eyeballs spent all their time tracking the hot Filipino chicks!

And no, I didn't see a single Adams apple either!

I not got a clue what you're on about Ion .... All I know is , apparently to much and you'll go blind

One thing i do agree with Lought, is not so much Harry has his favourites, because VDV's stats still measure up, is his wanting to be their mates and not their gaffer. Play with freedom if your already 2 and 3 nil up, but not have the other team create numerous chances like Arsenal did. I dont think it was so much fitness with Benny Arnie, because Walker still managed to get back even with a dodgy angle, when Benny loses his mind defensively, he is shocking. Now looking forward and its seems Harry will go in the summer and although I would like Mourinho, I still dont think we will get him. Now I know a lot have people have voiced their concerns over David Moyes, that like Harry has perfomed miracles with no money, so like Harry what could he do with what Harry has been given? he has the respect of the players, can you ever tell me of an Everton player moaning to the press? His teams play good football and are sound defensively. If we can get back on track and with our run in, i see 3rd still as well within us. We can that then we have Caulker and naughton back from loan, add possibly Hazard and Jan Vertonghen and with that squad and Champs league football, what could a lot of managers do?

I'll bring it to their attention

The Myaichi story I had not read but it does seem a bit thin

Yep, I hear you that sometimes Benny loses his mind defensively ... But a minor groin operation, whatever that is, is still going to slow you up and last thing you need is Walcott and Sagna running at you and you're not getting any cover...

I think who our next manager will be should Harry leave us at the end of the season will be down to whether we've made CL or not ..

2 parker is good at the holding midfeilder role. he hardly scores or get assits. so why when sandro and jake play is it that harry has parker as the guy that is meant to push forward.

3 harry sat there in the dugout during that second half and hes experssion was that oh its not my fault.

our most inportant game of the season and he gets it wrong big time. in fact if we lose to man u wich im sure we will then harry would of lost every big game this season.

4 lennon was our best player when he came on aganst stevenage. even a gooner said when he saw team sheet and lennon wernt starting he thought they would win.

arsenal left back is a kid whos injury prone. yet lennon would of scared the life out of him but dont get on.

You Baz , the likes of Seebee and Dave, are old school footy fans... Lought on the other hand has the Mourhino avatar because we're now in the Rupert Murdoch Sky Sports Premeirship years .. Things are viewed differently nowadays, thanks to media indoctrination where plastic is the word to describe the modern fan... The plastic fan is many things that the old school crowd find repugnant, where displays of loyalty are only on view when the going is good .

The gooner fan this past month have been the perfect example.. Like you know , I'm in contact with many gooners , in extended family, friends and acquaintances and recently I have seen the plastic amongst them , rear its head like never before . From league wins against Blackburn , Sunderland, to the defeats against Milan and Sunderland, the plastic has been displayed.

On Sunday I were with the families, we all sat there watching the game . As, Ade stroked home the penalty, the gooner brother-in-law got up off his seat and left the room mumbling, 'I'm not watching this pile of shite, its going to be 5-0" ... In fact, even at the Emirates, apparently some gooners left their seats around the same time, whilst mouthing off at Wenger , Walcott and co . Gooner forums on the internet were also in meltdown , yet by half-time their mood had changed to optimism . A further forty-five minutes later, they were now world beaters . Check some gooner forums , lizzies too ...The likes of Burger and others, not our Nic it has to be said , have recently turned on Wenger wanting him out ..

Loughtan's avatar is there because we lost 5-2, had we won 5-2 it wouldn't be there, its that simple ..
I treat this plastic show of support with scorn but I also find myself laughing at it for what is, typical plastic humour . Might I suggest we all do the same.
