Be nice if he had though Bernard ; given your preoccupation with the macabre if he was found to have a couple of bodies in his basement Gwendouzi would rocket past Brady , Williams , Hudson , Clichy , Mertesacker and become your all time favourite .

Crime obviously does pay though ..Martial gives Christiansen a little stiff arm in the nose ...doesn't get booked then a couple of minutes later beats him to a header to put Man U 1 up .

Man U haven't beaten Chelsea home and away in the history of the Premier League ..given Fergie's dominance I find that statistic surprising .

Chelsea have been stitched up here. Maguire should have been sent off and when Chelsea equalise it is disallowed for a push eventhough Fred pushed Azpilacueta

You make it sound like my perfect girlfriend would be Beverley Allitt or Joanne Dennehy (if you’ve not heard of them, look them up).

I’d actually understand relatives of their victims wanting to dig up Albert to ‘ang ‘em.

Not at all ... I was thinking more Myra Hindley , Leslie van Houten , Squeaky Fromme .

The VAR was harsh for Giroud's 'goal ' as well although correct ..... this nit picking approach is ruining the game .

Myra is dead and the other two a bit old for me. More your age profile. *

I’m not able to post emojis on this site. But if I was you’d have got a smiley here instead of the *, and somewhere on the last one.

You could be right (no guarantee though) about the goal difference being made up if we make up the six points on them. My post was more to do with the unlikelihood about equalling their points total.

The result away at Tottenham could well be vital. I see it as most likely a draw. But a win may swing things in our favour and a defeat could screw things up.

I don’t want to rain on your parades but we just put together one good half of football against a team who gave up with 15 minutes to go. I may wait a few more games before booking next years CL final tickets.

There’s a long way to go without a shred of doubt. The key is if Arteta can improve our away form. Can’t get a win for love nor money.

Also there was food for thought on the possible permanent signing of Ceballos. If he continues his form and is available for around 30 million that might be a deal worth contemplating. It was evident simply having a more forward thinking passer at the base of your midfield helped us hugely and I don’t think it was a coincidence Özil had his best game in ages.

Can't post smilies what has Warrior got you on the budget plan ...?

Anyway got just the girl for you .............. Karen Greenlee [ 64 ] worked at a funeral home .

She was driving the hearse with dead bloke ; decided to skip the service , took off to secluded spot and had sex with him .... wasn't the first time either

What? She'd had sex with the dead guy before? He must have been a bit ripe.

Lampard moaning that Maguire shouldn't have been on the pitch. Was there noone there to remind him that Rumenigga (was it him?) shouldn't have been on the pitch in our game and then scored too.

Karma huh.....................

He must have been some guy to have managed to have sex even when he was dead. People like that will put viagra out of business

I didn’t know her name but some years ago I saw a documentary on her. As necrophilia is extremely rare I presume it was the same lady. She had the perfect job, for her anyway. She used to place the penises of dead men in her mouth. I’m assuming it was before she embalmed them.

Yep one of those posts you have to go back and read the prior conversations rather than just the final comment being made

..... what’s everybody having for lunch today ?

Not sausages, that's for sure.

Quick question for Hodd is he reads this.

Was talking with friends last night about the different refereeing protocols in different leagues and I was wondering when a player comes to the Arsenal from a foreign league are they educated in the differences they can expect from the refs or are the players expected to just learn/adapt?

If it's Anthony Taylor, just expect him to make it up as he goes along. He hasn't improved in the years since his infamous opening day performance at the Emirates against Villa. I'm no Chelsea fan but they were mugged last night. Taylor is this generation's Mike Riley.

Putting my Wales bobble hat on, is this a good move for him in your opinion?

Agreed, someone who can get the ball forward quickly, creatively and accurately in to the space Özil occupies but can be quickly shut down if he doesn't get the service quickly enough. Cazorla worked wonders for us in this regard

Cheers

Good news. How is the atmosphere since Arteta has taken over? Any visible changes to the youth side?

Looks like Son is out for several weeks with a broken arm.

The club said several weeks but Mourinho said he’ll be out for the rest of the season. Hope good old Jose is right.

We play them weekend of 25th April. That's 9+ weeks hence.

A mate told me there are now 2 ex Barnet players working with mertesacker who are lifelong Gooners. Their dream job basically

Good grief John ... get another bowl of leeks into ya ... Do think she was depraved .... ? ... with different blokes .

Apparently it's not illegal in California to have sex with dead people so she only got a $ 250 fine and eleven days in jail for pinching the hearse .

Yes he mentioned Burchall and one more I can’t recall

That might be him. Most don’t mention it hodd

I'm hoping Liverpool turns it around. Atletico is tough at home. I am not a fan of their usual negative style. But I having to try and win in a league with Barca and RM, you are never going to beat them by being better attacking and more flair.

This game I AM were more attacking out the gate the first 20 minutes. Liverpool had their chances but AM did a farily good job of neutralizing them.

If LFC are going to break our record, then at least get the treble and spread the pain to the Mancs. Yeah...yeah...I know how it sounds. Don't care. lol

Hardly surprising when you're only the guy who cleans the boots , hangs the shirts on the pegs , takes the soiled under garments to the laundry ...... but don't sell yourself short Hodd ............ someone has to do it and you fill a very important role .

Nice sunny day today in NZ so I decide to mow the lawns .

Go out to my home built garden shed ... unlike Cannon's bird feeder from yesteryear everything is plum .. which means vertical / horizontal for all you office wallahs ; not the fruit .

I haul out the lawnmower ; while topping up the petrol I happen to look at the enormous comfrey patch .

Jesus H ... there is a green shield bug convention in progress ...about fifty of these grubby little f***^%% just enjoying the sunshine while sticking their liitle hyperdermic mouthparts into the plant and sucking out it's life juices .
I hate parasites in all forms .

Ahhh we'll soon change that ... the lawnmowing gets put on hold .

Into the shed ; get an oil can 2 parts automatic transmission fluid , 1 part kerosene , 1 part mineral turpentine . ..shake it up

Out I come .. seat myself in a garden chair ... Splat Splat Splat Splat ....... Scuttling . trying to fly , turning belly up ...... the panic among these liitle tossers is magic .

Like Thierry Henry going through a Liverpool defence https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5x3r9o

I tell you retirement is wonderful .

WARNING ........ don't do this on any plant you eventually hope to eat .

Six months later

Weren't you complaining about fluoride in the water not so long ago?

Where has the eco warrior in you gone Pete??

Btw, my partner's daughter and her partner are currently traversing your country in a station wagon type car. They love it.

But I'll tell them to pass on the comfrey.

This is interesting. Loved hearing the banter back and forth.

Two Liverpool players, two Man Utd players arguing over OGS. You already know its not going to be pretty. Keane has a point about getting managers more time. Judging by today, Ferguson would have been sacked before the '90 FA cup win. Which every time I see highlights i'm willing Palace to win it still.

I think we are capable of going far into the Europa. If we get the injured players back and the new players from January, it may have to time for them to gel enough to get to the semis if not the finals again.
