You can see why other fans find our problems so funny because I found Chelsea losing 4-1 at Watford even more hilarious than them losing 3-0 at Home to Bournemouth

Conte is toast...which is a shame as he seems a decent sort and Wenger seems to do ok against him

You mean if you are paid millions of pounds as manager and your team loses at places like Watford Bournemouth & just add names like Stoke and Swansea that u can be sacked for doing a bad job. That’s not a world Arsenal fans know exists.

I like Conte a lot. He was a super player and brings the same energy to management. He totally transformed Chelsea last season and has clearly been undermined this season.

I don’t really have much sympathy for Conte. So he might not have got his first choice transfer targets, not many managers do. But then he’s still been able to buy plenty of good quality players to supplement a title winning squad.

Yes Zed, world series is another. When you grew up with it from birth hearing 'world champion' and 'world series', you don't think about it, you don't question it, especially if its never been challenged and you have never traveled outside America. I was in Tokyo working with Brits at the time it was pointed out. The same time I became an Arsenal fan as well and a whole new world of pain and pleasure opened up in adopting football.

The January window has changed things to some extent. Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham look vulnerable to lose a CL spot, with Chelsea looking by far the weaker of the 3. Even though we are in 6th and the scum in 5th. We are not far away.

Surprisingly, much to omoh sitting at home with a smirk on his face, is the Arsenal attack looks...gulp...stronger sans Sanchez! Its early days and its only been a couple matches but so far so good. The NLD will tell us pretty much everything we want to know. The defense is suspect. Tottenham are playing very well in their temporary home. Right now I'd take a draw. A scoreless draw.

I get a few of these. Last night from Belgium and today from UK. I just let them ring out and then tag them as spam. If I ever answer a call from some random asking me who I am before telling me who they are then I'll politely ask "whos calling?" If they insist on trying to identify me first then it's usually spam. Just hang up. If it's not spam then whoever is legitimately calling will find other ways to contact (sms, email, etc). If they do claim to be someone (e.g the local Telco) then call them back but not on the number they give, find a legit one on the company website. Other method is to answer but say nothing. Lots of these spam outfits are mass dialing numbers and it's only when you speak that they'll connect you with one of their scamsters..

I've even had legitimate Telco callers (TPG) pushing hard sales tactics "sign up or you'll be cut off" type *%^@. Telstra was recently publicly humiliated for asking for customer details to confirm identity on outbound calls they were making.

You were probably bigging up Chamakh, Chambers, Holding, and numerous others after a couple of games but....


Mika was great but there were a few occasions when he went down rolling in agony and needing treatment after fairly run-of-the-mill challenges. You have to wonder how he will cope physically, especially away from home.

Hopefully, he will be like Pires and his talent will outweigh the fact he's a bit lightweight physically.


Surprising given that he'd be towering over most of today's squad. Remember the old man mentioning it a few times.....off the bus comes...Pires, Bergkamp, Vieira, Henry,....

And when the team had a bit of bottle...

I try and tell my Dad to do just those things, but his personality is such that he is very trusting. He also gets confused quite easily, which actually seems to increase his naivety. Not his fault though; it's purely down to the scum making the calls.
Trouble is, the law is increasingly geared in favour of those looking to make money; you can block buy numbers in the UK and use them even though you're phoning from abroad. Consumer protection seems to be given airtime but no real ooomph behind it, at least here in the UK.

Yeah - That number may appear as disconnected now but it's likely a relay number so it might be used again.
*Scammers use a computer system to make calls to dial thru the internet - this rings a 'local' number which is merely a local phone used as an exit point to get onto the phone system.

Scammers can spoof the number they are calling from - and can even appear to be a local number.
I used to get a few calls here and there and just used to mess with them on the phone to waste their time.

I got bored with it in the end so I just bought a Telstra Call Guardian Phone. Not sure if there is a UK equivalent but there likely is. The phone uses a call filtering system which asks callers who they are if they are from an unknown number. Known numbers from friends ring straight thru.

As many of these scammers use a robocaller - (an automated means of dialing a mass of numbers in one go), they merely wait until someone answers and says 'Hello'. Then the scammer takes over from the robocaller and then starts the scam.

With the Call Guardian, it won't even make the phone ring while it's working after someone rings. They need to say what they are calling about first - then I can decide if I want to answer it or not.

Since I got it a year ago, I have had zero scam calls. Every now and then I check it and see what numbers it has blocked then I Google them to see what scams I am missing out on.

If you no longer want scam calls, get a Call Guardian style phone. Problem 100 % solved.

Edit - Not to be confused with the UK Call Guardian service - the phone I am describing is a purchased stand alone cordless phone answering machine with the base supporting up to 6 phones.

Edit 2 - This is what it is called in the UK - BT8500 or BT8600

Yes it will be a test of their team spirit. Say what we like about The Gunners but they often pull together and recover after reversals. Can Chavs do the same? Cahill, so often reliable, was at sea in both the recent defeats. He is important to them.

Ahhh - but here is where these phones really shine.

You won't hear the phone ring - at all. So, no disturbance to what you are doing.

It's like a secretary that only puts the call thru if they can identify themselves - or, if they are a friend whose number is already stored in the phones memory.

So, once a week or so, I have a look at the phone and notice it has loads of missed calls on it (all scammers). Yet, we never heard the phone ring ;-)

It's a pity the Spurs game is not three weeks away give the new boys time to jell but call me the ultimate in seaweeds but my optimism has returned .

I like the cut of the jib of both Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan , Özil resigning , Wilshere looking the business Ramsay reborn ... there is really no reason for Bellerin and Monreal to bomb forward , there is a decent centre half hiding inside Holdings body .

Spurs are playing nice football but I honestly think we will win . We have a habit of p*ssing on their parade .

Aubameyang has had disciplinary problems ...all the better shows he is a loose cannon , bit of fire in his belly .

Seen with two hookers 2 am at the West End night before then scores two at Wembley .
