Have done so now. Very good responses.

By the way I do agree with you about Spurs. Their current team, and way of playing, is admirable. I have put a tenner on them doing the double at 22-1. A win whatever happens!

'Association' referred to Corbyn. I am struggling to understand the deprh of anti-Corbyn feeling, although the Brexit position perhaps does give clue. But I do take your point about Blair.

CRUSH THE SABOTEURS!

Cheer up, Corbyn will be bucking that trend in a few months.

*Lies back and imagines a mild-mannered threesome with Tony Benn and Arsene Wenger.*

I know and my point was that it was far more than an association.

Something the evil right-wing press and the Tories will be calling to our attention fairly shortly and the sad thing is they won't have to make it up.

Because I desperately want the Tories out and he is one of the biggest obstacles. He is utterly and completely crap, Wenger is more likely to storm the Champion's League with free-flowing, powerful, fast-paced football than Corbyn to get to Number 10. And he doesn't want to. He wants to hang out with his creepy enablers like McDonnell and Milne, sing the Internationale at Cuba Solidarity Events, snap at reporters asking perfectly legitimate questions about his crapness and make *%^@*** jam. I'm not sure he'll even go after a crushing defeat, small wonder that he is one of Wenger's biggest fans.

Don't even get me started on that *%^@ Seamus Milne. Opposes selective education for everybody else but sends his kids to grammar school in Richmond, a borough which is literally "ram-packed" with excellent comprehensives. Diane Abbott sends her kid to private school and claims it's a trait of her West Indian culture to care more about her kids. Sami Charkabarti sends her kids to Dulwich College and then makes a condescending parallel between state schools and food banks. They are a bunch of shabby dishonourable hypocrites as well as rank incompetents and I am actually fairly relieved that the British electorate is unlikely to let them anywhere near power.

I do get it mate, it was slightly tongue in cheek. But I do think we sometimes allow football to spill over into something bigger than it is. We all get pissed off, I'm at the end of my tether with Arsenal at the moment but it's a big part of my life which in reality means very little in the bigger picture.

Bernard, I was joking with the Tottenham thing. Wasn't meant as any more than a joke,

How many people either don't care or want Arsenal to lose on Sunday? (no judging...promise )

Tottenham tickets arrived this morning, bringing with them a new wave of depression at the current disparity between the two teams. I’m pretty sure we’ll get spanked but I’ve had some great times at that ground down the years so I’ll be there to pay my respects to a fine old venue as much as to see the game. I used to go there a lot, particularly in the ‘60s with a neighbour who supported them. I saw some amazing games there at a time when we were a pretty dour outfit. Whatever your allegiance, Jimmy Greaves in his pomp was something to behold.

And I still have – somewhere – a little plastic bag of dust that was once WHL grass dating from 3rd May 1971; that’s still the only time I’ve ever ‘invaded’ a pitch, albeit after the game had finished and with 10,000 others. We won it there again in 2004 but no chance of any incursions that day, indeed we were marched away around the back of the ground under heavy police guard after the match; mercifully, the locals had all slunk away by then.

I’ve no real idea what sort of reception to expect. Sol’s return in 2001 was by a distance the most intimidating and toxic atmosphere I’ve ever experienced at a sporting venue but it’s always been a one of the most threatening grounds to visit. I’ve come out into Park Lane to a hail of bottles with the Police nowhere to be seen. I’ve walked through the seriously hostile crowds in the High Street on the way back to Seven Sisters, often trying to hide a smile because, lest we forget, we’ve had some stunning victories down there over the years. No wonder they hate us! Maybe there'll be pity instead of intimidation this time. Maybe they'll patronise us like we have them for the last 20 years. Sneers or snarls - not sure which is worse.

Not so many wins in recent years though and you’d need to be a supreme optimist to expect anything this time; I’m afraid I’m anything but.

Where there's life there's hope, eh? An upset would be very sweet. Enjoy!

Doubt springs eternal I'm afraid, Decaf.

Looking forward to the Old Lady versus The Best Club in the World tonight, Bernard?

I agree with you on the outrageous fraud of the Bayern game btw (even though I like Madrid).

Those red cards don't just cheat teams, they cheat us the spectators. Why the ref can't check quickly upstairs as they do in rugby only increases my suspicions of the whole process.

Dennis Healey and Ian Mikardo actually. That was when Labour really did have some great players.

I care and want Arsenal to win. But honestly, I am not a bad person.

You obviously have a thing for eyebrows.

No, as I'll be watching Masterchef. I hope Juventus win though.

Juve starting away at Barca with higuain, mandzukic, dybala and cuadrado in attacking positions. 2 of those are out and out strikers, dybala isn't a midfielder and cuadrado plays as a very attacking and advanced wide man or no.10. You can bet anything you like that Allegri will have all 4 of them totally clear in what they need to give defensively. I often see Arsenal line up with this amount of attacking players and feel that they are allowed to vacate the defensive part of the game with no plan or reprisal from Wenger.

Yes on Garbo, Taylor and Madonna.

And they got a 0-0 in the Nou camp going through comfortably. We would probably have got roasted 6-0.

Wenger is dragging the club down with him now, if he truly loved the club he would leave, sadly it seems he is convinced he can "reinvent himself", hard to feel sorry for him though if he's damaging the club by his stubborness to accept the situation.

None of the above. I want an Arsenal win.

The old lady may end up winning this whole thing. Defense wins matches. More incredible than having 10 goals scored in CL tie over two legs against a club the size of Arsenal is holding the most lethal club scoring wise scoreless over two legs.

I'm predicting an Arsenal win Sunday. As I say, we always have one or two shock results (Bayern Munich a few years ago, we've beaten Man Utd in the spring at times) in the spring.

Great speech by Corbyn.

Great doesn't do it justice.

i'm torn between voting Labour and voting May because of her no nonsense attitude on Europe.

If he can motivate the voters I could change my mind......................

Brexit is a done deal. What is up for grabs is - what type of post Brexit England do you want to live in?

Brexit isn't done, one of the Lords, Liberals and or Labour will wreck the negotiations if they don't get their way. The likelihood is no agreement will be reached then everything could be at risk for May. Nothing will get passed through Parliament.

I want what Jeremy wants, I've always been a fan b if the elite get a sniff of him winning they will find a way to wreck his chances. I would also like to know what he would do if he were PM with regards to what he'd agree with the EU especially about border controls. After all it was Labour and still is imo that wants to do a Merkel and let everyone in regardless.

Believe me I am really torn...........

Labour have signed up to implement Brexit, they will not halt it but do oppose any attempt to weaken your rights as a worker. Which should be important to anyone who is currently employed.

However, you are correct to say Corbyn now has to answer the question you pose and I'm sure they will come up over the next six weeks.

Just seen that there may be a second referendum after the final deal is known. Eminently sensible, I would argue.

Out of interest, if you want all of these things, why would you sacrifice all of them for a no-nonsense attitude on Europe?

Because the devil in the dock is the EU not May. The Eu going bust overnight would have to be supported by us as when the Greeks were baled out last time. £7.6 billion iirc.

Oh no, Corbynistas think the kids still dab. Even my eight year old knows dabbing is, like, yesterday.

Stans a great bloke, takes a 2 million advisory fee out the club and hands Half to trump

Your comments are borne out of ignorance. Whether tyou like him or not he is not responsible for the mess we are in. In fact had his policies been pursued a lot more people would be better off and have services they can rely on.

What have the elite done for themselves and for others less fortunate than them?

Just spotted this in the comments of the quoted Twitter article, "Arsenal are the equivalent of the Trump administration. Unpopular and sinking with and old idiot in charge." Tut tut...

Now you've really lost me.

Wenger hinting he's going to play 3 centre halves again Sunday. Surely if he does this we're going to get over run in midfield by silva and co.

Also he's missing the point, our issues aren't because of numbers just lack of collective cohesion and individual error. 3 centre halves doesn't fix this.

Quick update ....anyone who makes more than 70k a year is a wanker and deserves to be shot and removed from the earth immediately
