When will new programmes and films be made? Maybe we’ll get kiwipete watching The Ipcress File with all the other repeats?

Got to say Bernard ...I'm slavering at the prospect .

At this moment watching the G7 recommended "The English Game "..not bad ..... although I'm getting a bit sick of the Scots bloke playing the naive gormless pr*ck ... keeps getting kicked ,tripped , punched by the toffs and doesn't retaliate .

The invincible line up of Lehmann, Cole, lauren, Campbell, Toure, Vieira, Silva, Ljungberg, Pires, Bergkamp, Henry only started 2 league games as an 11. The 4-2 v Liverpool and the 2-1 v Leicester on the final day

It appears the scientists are backpedalling their view that 200,000 will die fromm the pandemic. The expectation now is nearer 20000 which it appears near as damn it the same as a normal year for deaths amongst the aged.

Why can you not see that the panic being caused is unnecessary. Isolate the old and susceptible and let the others go about their normal days work with social distancing if one feels it necessary.

The Government are promising billions to people but they cannot guarantee it will get to them sooner rather than later. Do people not realise that these sums will have to be repaid one way or the other. Vat and rates etc will have to be paid in due course as well so why not pay it if you can.

I can survive on a basic pension roughly £700 a month so why not just give everyone say a £1000 and tell them to sort things out themselves. All monies to be repaid from future earnings.

In this way we will not have a recession and we will not have so many people losing their jobs.

Why can head in the sand trolls like TG not see it makes sense.

Ffs nobody said that 80 million Turks would invade they said they could. Do we really have to explain the difference?

Because pretty much every single expert in virology, immunology, disease control and any other relevant field of science you can think of from pretty much every affected country is in agreement that at least some form of drastic measure is required to get as much control as possible over the situation. We should probably listen to them.

So you literally didn’t read a word of DHDs post.

And you wonder why people think you’re a complete dinlow ?

So the death toll is currently 24000 and if you are correct it is over. You are plainly wrong on almost every aspect of your post. Please don’t bother replying because there is nothing more to say.

There’s a point in life where you realise you are trying to have a debate with a complete tool. That’s long past the post.

That surprised me when I read your post. The BBC sport website also pointed out that the 1966 England World Cup final team and the 1999 Manchester United treble winners didn’t play together as often as I’m sure many would assume. Having said that, they did both play together more than the Arsenal ‘invincibles’ team you list.

They couldn't.

It was yet another lie.

Anyway.

In 2005/06 we had 8 different left backs.

If you want to play, can you name all 8?

Cheers Ex. This is a really superb clip.

As an aside, Question Time is working so much better without an audience. It stops the grandstanding from panelists and also allows something more akin to proper debate. I hope they keep it this way.

Cole, Clichy, Flamini, Garry. After that I’m struggling. Did Toure, Hoyte, Djourou and Eboue ever play at left back?

I didn’t know Question Time no longer had an audience. Shows how long it’s been since I watched it. Donkey’s years ago.

Pretty sure Sebastian Larsson played a few games at left back that season.

Well remembered.

Probably another Cummings stunt.

My mother says this disease was like the fear of polio in her mother's and grandparents day. It had no respect of class or money. Franklin D. Roosevelt being possibly the most famous victim of it. It was a huge fear in the old days. It could strike anyone from a ditch digger to a royal.

It's surreal though. Its amazing how willingly all of us as a collective are willing to give up long held and cherished civil liberties in order to fight this. My issue is that I don't trust those that are asking (or rather demanding it).

Cole, Clichy, Flamini and Larsson.

Four more to go.

I think one of the four is obvious. One is probably who Bernard was thinking of when he said Ryan Garry. One is a full back. The other one is the one I had to look up, and I'm still surprised to see have seen him on the list.

I’m not going to look it up as it would spoil the fun but wasn’t there a tiny Brazilian who played at left back around this time. Not sylvinho but a young player who played a handful of games

Juan?

Nope.

Traore? Gilbert?

There is a silent demographic war in America. I'd be curious to know if the same is happening in the UK, Australia or NZ.
There is a new term that has made the lexicon of American social and political spaces: "Ok, Boomer" Millennials who are told by those in America who are referred to as the baby boomer generation, primarily over 60. Its a response by the young under 30.

They have an animus against their grandparents era. Why? Because they feel that they older generation used the biggest credit card in history (debt) to finance their own selfishness and have left them to pay the tab. Young people have a huge amount of college debt upon graduation. The amount varies but it can be as low as 10k if they are very lucky to hundreds of thousands if they went to law school or medical school. I have a good friend who has a 200k college debt from her total education which includes a masters in clinical therapy from Pepperdine University in Malibu. She is a therapist (okay, enough with the jokes I need to see her..lol).

Anyway, the young people start out in life 20k in debt on average. They know that their parents and grandparents enjoyed a very low cost uni education. The cost of unis have skyrocketed saddling the young people with havig to pay 20k a year, 30k a year for a college education.

Also, they argue that for their entire lives as far as they can remember they have seen nothing but war. The war in Afghanistan and Iraq are almost 20 year old wars. They have traumatized by 911 as 4 or 5 year olds, a 2008 crash, a weak recovery that have left them without the great college grad jobs their fathers and grandparents enjoyed. IBM, Google, Exxon are not hiring thousands of college grads as they once did. Furthermore there is more competition for those jobs. In the 'Mad Men' era, you only competed against other white males. Not you compete against all women, all minorities. They aren't complaining about it because they grew up as social justice advocates, but its more people for less jobs.

Nope, although he deserves a mention for taking a knuckle-duster to a North London derby.

Added Gilbert

The Republicans have been trying to end our pension system called Social Security that is about 90 years old, enacted during the 1930s FDR. Total uni debt is about 1.5 Trillion. They can't pay it off. A significant percentage of them have simply stopped paying. Many have had to move back to their parents home. There is a lot of animosity that their tax dollars are paying for a lifestyle for the boomer generation (social security, medicare, etc) they won't benefit from because they are told not to expect America to be able to afford it. America has a debt well over 23 trillion. They know their generation won't be able to pay that off and it will be untenable by the time they reach full maturity. Servicing the debt is half a trillion dollars now and is expected to be a trillion at the rate Trump is spending. Trillion just to service the debt in a less than 5 trillion dollar economy. 
So they are angry and they are blatantly happy that the virus is killing off the boomer generation. There are several videos of them rubbing salt in the wounds. I've seen videos on Facebook of a long line of kids licking a candy and passing it to the next one, male and female, as a stuff it to the older generation. Despite being told of social distancing, they went to 'spring break' turning up their noses to the consequences. 
Ironically, they support a boomer. Bernie Sanders biggest niche are people under 30. I worked with a then 23 year old 4 years ago who voted for the first time for Sanders and volunteered for his campaign and donated $50. We still keep in touch and I ask him about his generation's thoughts a lot as well as my younger cousins, nephews and such. They are not happy. 

Yup. That's the one I thought Bernard may have had in mind.

He was a right back.

Ryan Smith?

The boomers in power are very, very worried. And they should be. Many of them, an unknown percentage that I can determine but nonetheless a number that is big enough to scare the Peter Shilton out of society at large. They hate Trump so have no incentive to heed current warnings for the present powers in the government.

A group of young adults held a coronavirus party in Kentucky to defy orders to socially distance. Now one of them has coronavirus

I think you're right but he played left back for our first team that year.

Hoddgooner.

How are things both family wise and Arsenal?

Family are all good thanks mate - both the kids have moved out so won't be seeing them for a while
All football is locked down so no matches or visits to the academy allowed
We have started having video calls to start preparing for when we return - lots to do, given all the personnel changes on the scouting side.

Unless I’ve missed it and someone’s already mentioned him, wasn’t there a Danny Karbassion (excuse the spelling as I doubt it’s right) who might have appeared at left back?

Kids all grown up. You know it will happen but aren't really prepared for it.

Cygan?

That’s a good shout Bromley.

Metal Djourou?

Eboue must have switched at some point??
