Glad to see that my local club as a kid have been relegated. I was raised in the Borough of Barnet so went to school there. Nearly everyone supported Arsenal or Tottenham, though Chelsea, West Ham and QPR had one fan each. But whoever they supported nearly everyone's second team was Barnet. I was the exception.

Let me guess your second club were a German club.

100% correct. Not sure why but I just never took to Barnet FC. Didn't like them then; don't like them now.

There were a few poor episodes but at its best I thought The Sweeney was great.


To be honest I had it part mixed up with the Waterman and Cole series ,

Just watched five minutes of the Sweeney which wasn't as painful as I'd imagined .

Pretty low key but as least not littered with a million vehicles , crashing , doing extravagant roll overs and bursting into flames which seems the norm in every crime movie these days .

Puzzling how Rangers ; a giant club in the doldrums , opt for an untried Steven Gerard to lift their fortunes when they must have known Arsene Wenger was available .


Rangers is too small for Wenger. He prefers to ruin a bigger club.


Rumours he is off to China coach some club side , become the highest paid manager in history . No set of fans anywhere should have to endure his line of clap trap , awful tactics again .

I'd rather he took some sort of television role ; anchor man for the nightly sports news on StarHub TV would be nice :icon_mrgreen:

Just reflect on the fact that we have not won a single away point for 4 months. And some matches were against struggling teams. I cannot understand how the manager or the team can still say they are good enough to challenge for top honours? And forever belaying blame elsewhere but at themselves. I won't be surprised if we end up with only 1 point from the last 2 away matches. Since he is leaving, he should be cut some slack. But, his arrogance with the club's fans during the last few years, doesn't make me want to cut him any. I'm not sure how the reception will be today, but I wouldn't want for it to be ugly. If I were there, I would leave before the lap of appreciation.

Oh Kiwi, please do not suggest Starhub TV to him. I cannot withstand any more of his mumbling. His delivery is so lack of proper articulation. I rather give you a spot on Starhub TV. Let me have a chat with the CEO.

According to this article the fact we were in the EUFA Cup should not make a difference to our money position - we earn more than Man U for Europe. So no excuses why we will not spend as much as other clubs

If Özil mysteriously misses today's game like is being suggested and Martin Keown predicted it just underlines what Keown was saying. Whilst I think Keown was wrong Özil doesn't help himself, paying 350k a week for a player who only plays every other week and always seems to miss the trips up north to Burnley Newcastle etc is just crazy. If we had a different manager like Guardiola or Mourinho I'm pretty sure the reason for this happening would have come to light by now

Hold on. Everyone was advocating giving the kids and marginal players games. Why would we play Özil at all. I would rather to see MN and Reiss Nelson get 3 appearances before the end of the season than see Özil play. I have no interest in the next 3 games. We finish 7th, it is not because Özil doesn't play the next 3 it is because in the other 35 games we failed.

I would agree and we can still blood youngsters but in Wengers final home game we want to win right. Plus he hasn't played much recently and this type of thing is precisely what fuels the negativity about him.

I don't think we owe Wenger anything. If the squad is not good enough to beat Burnley without Özil that says a lot more about the squad and the wages we pay them. If Özil plays and we don't win what will that prove. Probably what we already know - a totally unbalanced team who fail to meet expectations.

If I’m paying amount x to watch a football game I want to see star players, Özil has to play for me. There is an element By all means play AMN and Nelson but his complete absence speaks volumes. I want entertainment and to see our best player

I see your principle - if someone pays to see a game we must always play our best players. I must have missed your posts about the first round of the league cup we were involved in plus the early games in Europe this year. It could not be that you have a set against Özil and are using ridiculous arguments to try and emerge from the corner you have painted yourself into. Bravo for your principles.

I am not being serious.

Although I really don't like gingers, but I think that's because they can 'sense' that, and so they always act strangely around me, as if they know that I know what they are.


No no no anti-ginger stuff is the preserve of nasal, sexless, Home Counties keyboard "comedians" with South Park box sets -and Katie Hopkins.

Unbecoming. Don't be that guy.

(My son's a ginger you would like him he is funny plus he has brown eyes and eyelashes which does help a lot).

Haha try and calm down mate. Your bursting a blood vessel for some reason.

Toss another shrimp on the barbie or something.

All very well in the league cup but not in the premiership.

My guess is the fans are so happy to be rid of Wenger and start anew they will come out for the new manager initially and may change depending on how he does over time. I don't think fans will be as patient this time around though.

I certaimly have my suspicions about the integrity of referees. In the Chelsea v Liverpool game Milner flew in on Hazard and cleaned him out without getting near the ball. The most nailed-on yellow card you can get. Ref just has a word. No booking.

Good first half, especially as we're missing two of our best attacking players. Lacazette, Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan and Iwobi all looking threatening. Xhaka with another fine performance in midfield, and Mavropanos seems to have a little bit of a much wanted mean streak to his game. Not much at stake here, but an enjoyable performance so far.

Jack assist for Kola. Having a good game and noticing how Iwobi is playing right midfield and covering Jack every time he goes forward.
