Leopards, Spots, Twitches
Feb 11th, 2010 by 'holic
All joking aside, fair play to the twitchy one. His coaching and management career is astounding in its consistency.
1976-79 Seattle Sounders – The team folded after the 1983 NASL outdoor season
1980 Oxford City – The club reached its lowest point in 1988 when they were evicted from their White House Ground. Forced to resign from the Isthmian League, the club did not return to senior football until 1990.
1983-1992 Bournemouth – Relegated to Division Three in 1990, the club have been on the brink of bankruptcy several times since.
1994 – 2001 West Ham Olympic – Relegated in 2002, and many other years, the Hammers were passed around from owner to owner once Harry had done his bit. They can look forward to better things now they have been snapped up for peanuts by the former owners of Birmingham City, that major powerhouse in English football.
2002 – 2004 Portsmouth – see 2005 – 2008
2004 – 2005 Southampton – Southampton were founding members of the Premiership in 1992–93, having played in the top flight of English football since 1978. The Saints were relegated that season and subsequently went into administration. That pales into insignificance when compared to neighbours…
2005-2008 Portsmouth – At the time of writing they have a week to avoid a winding-up order. Need I say more?
2008-? Tottenham Hotspur – Sweet mother of God, are we looking forward to seeing what happens to this shower of shit when they finally wise up!

1st in the bar?
I’ll guess that explains the twitch 🙂
Haha. Great post!
Brilliant!
But where would we be without Harry’s pearls of wisdom?
It would never have occurred to me that, if Tottenham had not dropped points, they would be above Arsenal.
No shit, Sherlock!
What I realised, however, and it seems that Harry didn’t, is that, if the Spuds had not dropped points, they would be above everybody – top of the League! It’s that easy, isn’t it? The problem is that same logic applies to everybody. If Pompey had not dropped points, they would be top of the League too!
Doh!!!
And in addition to ALL the foregoing ‘holic…….surely it must be pure coincidence that the current leader of the Spuds has been charged with….wait for it……….tax evasion??
Well, well…..what a surprise. Could it get any worse? Yunno….like getting beaten by bottom of the table fodder, like for example, hmmm….Wolves?
Well he is consistant at least????????
Awesome piece. I will be reminding some spud pals of these facts the moment I arrive at work tomorrow…..
And one other point. Is he the ugliest manager in the league’s history? He looks like he has been apple bobbing in the chip pan.
Hats off to you ‘holic. Pure genius. The family is in tears here. Nailed him, and them, in one. Top Gooner.
Tax evasion how ironic.Think i might just have another Kronenbourg.
LOL…apple bobbing in the chip pan……love it…
Look forward to the day ….when the spuds go bust and ground share at hackney marshes……
Love and Kisses…..
Yes Don but it was only a double………..cheers
Do we really care if spuds go down or loose loads of dosh? Shows how much research the spuds board did before bringing in ol twitchy.
Lol Steve T. Come to think of it…I think he is.
Going down,
Going down,
Going down.
Going down,
Going down,
Going do- own.
Going down,
Going down,
Going down.
Go-ing do-own,
Go-ing down!
Must be the foot in mouth disease. Finish above the Arsenal… yeah righ!!
Evenin’ ‘Holic,
I thought you knew that to dare is to d’oh!
Hot toddie, please ‘keep!
I mentioned West Ham to my missus earlier after his ‘Arryness made it onto the local news here being as how he’d ruined Pompey and S’ton as well. She said, “So he’s a **** then” using a word I can’t use even on t’Internet. You know I think she is right and I fully intended to look back to see how much of a serial **** he actually was, but you just saved me the effort. Ta very much ‘Holic!
Do we care about Spuds? ‘Course not. Would we laugh if they went bust after the season ends? I think we might just.
Don’t forget Bournemouth, LG. The only thing Brighton have got going for them is Harry never had the chance to shaft ’em good and proper!
Aaaaaaah, so thats how you win the league, by not dropping points! it’s sooo simple… quick, get me Arsene Wengers phone number, he must be told of this ground breaking news of epic proportion!
Just hope he doesn’t get the england job one day… 🙂
How could I forget the might Cherries ‘Holic?!
Reckon Torquay probably got relegated to spare him the effort. He was obviously working his way along the South Coast! Funny thing is, he lives in a very exclusive enclave at Sandbanks in Poole. Reputedly the properties there can go for 10million. Makes you wonder where all the money from those clubs went…
Indeed it was GoonerGaz…indeed it was. Oh how I laughed…so cronically……I can’t stop….it’s hurting!
Hush `Holic! Don’t let them notice too early, we need Twitchy to achieve his revolution for Spuds too. A super-sized toilet bowl to host League 1 games, what an inspiring project! Go Harry go!
I am surprised the EPL has survived this long w/o teams not knowing what it takes to win the title…only for ol Twitcy to come along and enlighten us all Aa23.
I am sure we all fell enlightened, don’t we?
Now now…..careful what you’re saying there LG (#17) old chap. We wouldn’t want to be bringing into question our ‘Arrys’ fine character and outstanding reputation….now would we? As one can see, it took ages for him to develop such unrivalled management pedigree…….over numerous decades.
Most unwarranted 😉
Another San Miguel please barman…..and have one yourself of course!
Finally someone exposes what we all knew. Top Gunning ‘holic.
Hope he gets what is truly coming to him, but he won’t, or Mandaric.
@don
Only question left now is whether he can still ‘run’ Spuds until the end of his contract now Facebook don’t allow HMP accounts 😉
Can’t understand people wanting tiny totts to go bust ,surely its better to go another decade unbeaten by them……………….just for the grins.
form is temporary, but that twitch is permanent
12.30? I’m off to bed. Laters.
“Liverpool could finish third if they beat Arsenal,” Redknapp said. “And if they beat Arsenal and we beat Wolves then we can finish third. Arsenal are suddenly right back in the pack. And, in all honesty we’ve thrown a lot of good leads away and we really should be above Arsenal now.”
What a fucking dopey cunt.
As if the Spud cunts could ever beat Wolves!!!!!
G’night Snail.
Easy South Coast. Wolves are tough opposition. They really made us work for our four goals there, and let’s face it, Tottenham under Redknapp are a different class. how we struggled to batter them by three at the Grove this season.
Now stop it. Allegedly he knows what he is doing…
Glass of Listerine for the South Coast Gooner please. Is Harry really that bad? If so he should be deported to a penal colony, no not
Australia we`ve had our fair share.
I think he is already in one, Aussie 😉
Nothing more clever to say about our good friend Harry except he is a bigger **** than I thought… didn’t think that was possible?
I have been a regular reader or this blog but have never left a comment, however this post deserves one.
this court has sentensed Mr. harry fatnapp to 5 years of management with the spuds in division 1. I’d rather have eboue as mananger of arsenal instead of fatnapp. Bottle of alaze will do holic. And to the question is arry the ugliest mananger, YESS!
I agree. Someone should get on the horn to Arsene quick! The only way to win the league is to hold on to your leads and not drop points!
‘Arry’s finally cracked that stupefying mystery of how to win a league title. Or at least, finish third.
Out of interest, suppose Pompey go into liquidation. What happens to the league matches they’ve played? Do they see out the season, or would it be an immediate thing?
That’s quite a resume young Hawwy has there isn’t?
Back home. Had the opportunity to watch the Liverpool game. Well deserved win. Not so tothless. Not so pitiful? Good second half after one of the most boring first halves of all time. Nicky B added an extra edge and needed focal point up front. Very obviously still rusty, but promising and a great extra dimension for the final thirteen games.
What’s the opposite of rusty? Shining stainless steel?
That’s what the great Ade must be made of. What a beauty for Citeh against Bolton! Another net buster from the Togolese Express. Right up there with the great goals he used to score every second game for us. Seems to be doing it every game for Citeh though. Superb judgement on the off-side line on that through ball from Paddy V. SO hard working. Great defense. All over the front line, constant motion man. What a striker. What an entertainer. I think we’d be six points clear if he was still wearing Arsenal red. I’m sure BBB are enjoying him now.
Come on you Gunners!
West Ham Olympic.. I love your tone on that one… 🙂
‘Holic, it is likely Spurs will be near bottom at the start of next season and Harry will be dismissed (to our consternation, of course) but Sven Goran Erickson will be available to take over the listing ship.
BTM I sadly agree about Ade and us having ATLEAST 6 more points if we had him in Red, he can score out of no where like the Villareal scissors kick last year. but we’ll make due with the promising NB52 for now!
Tom: I read somewhere that they will be immediately removed from the league, and all their games during the year will be removed as well. Which means we would lose those 6 points!
Fantastic post again…I was thrilled when the tiny totts signed ‘arry – it seemed to be simply the decisions of a panicked board….long may he reign down the Seven Sisters
it’ll probably happen when Sp*rs get their new stadium.
we’ve got the Emirates and the one thing Arsene Wenger didn’t do wrong was to be a scrooge and manage our finances better than the football.
Arry of course is not responsible for any of this…. its all coincidence.
Did Spurs Board do due diligence on this guys record before they appointed him? Would love to know what they made of this.
Ha ha, cracking post . just the spurs way to shout their mouhs off and then recieve a big dose of humble pie. Always too quick to talk, I,m sure it’s institutionalised in them
If Pompey goes bust, we lose the six points we have gained against them this season (admittedly so do the teams above us, but still…)
Did Spurs Board do due diligence on this guys record before they appointed him?
You mean the board that appointed Gross, and Jol, and One Day Ramos?
Do me a favour 🙂
well if everyone will lose the points there is no problem….’holic, i love the blog..too bad we dont have any sp*rs fans here in states so i can drill them!! thanks for the facts!
He’s got a twitch, he’s got a twitch…..
Nice one, ‘holic. Now for an Irish coffee please.
Remnants of a past weekend.
I’ll still have that Irish Coffee though.
kevthewindowlicker
I have posted your messages on to those who may be interested in them, along with your ip.
Cheers fuckwit.
Hilarious, and yet somehow the fact it is all true just makes it even more hilarious
Another top blog. Good work sir
Torygraph have ripped you off ‘holic.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/tottenham/7216104/Harry-Redknapp-may-not-leave-Tottenham-laughing-if-past-record-is-anything-to-go-by.html
I reckon those less intelligent posts came from spurs fans who had this link sent to them by giggling gooners. Either that or they searched for ‘troll’ and ‘spurs’ – of course a page about Redknapp would come up.
Great Post
Will Arry get his “PORRIDGE” for this?
Pint of what Harry’s been having ‘Holic please.
He really is a twonk.
Long may he reign over the Spuds.
Just popped in for a quick afternoon drinky, Pint of cider please barman.
Funny stuff ‘holic sir.
Gawd blimey, ol’ ‘Arry did more damage to the South coast then 10 Spanish Armada´s could of hoped to inflict. Wouldn´t like to see Spurs going down the tubes though, we would lose a seemingly never ending source of amusement.
So lets give ‘Arry some credit (because his former clubs can´t get any) for keeping a smile on our faces.
Cheers.
Yes Holloway….you are, of course, completely right. The Spuds must surely remain.
In this latest incarnation of Arry’s long & [in]famous reign in football management (that being a very loose term you understand), I have a strong feeling he is guilty of accepting payment in kind, for the further charge of being a spy. There can surely be no other explanation for what’s being served up at that shower located at the wrong end of Seven Sisters.
After all, they are good for a laugh!
A cool pint of Staropramen for me pls barman.
Once again, great opener ‘holic.
I always wondered why ‘Arry kept that welsh guy Gareth in his squad.
But seeing the current position he find’s himself in it must be pretty handy to have Bale (bail) lying around.
‘arry’s gota twitch, ‘arry’s gota twitch!
‘arry’s gota twich!!
Goodness me – that is one long trail of destruction! I had no idea, Goonerholic!
He has a real talent, FG, that is for certain 😉
? He’s got a twiiiiitch, he’s got a twiiiitch, Harry Redknaaappp has got a twiiiitch. How he got it we don’t know, how he got it we don’t care, all we know is Harry’s got a twiiiitch?
“Right up there with the great goals he used to score every second game for us”
Hm, guess I missed those 20 brilliant goals last season.
“I think we’d be six points clear if he was still wearing Arsenal red.”
Then why weren’t we six pts clear in 07-08 and 08-09?
Why didn’t we win the league?
holic, thx for your brilliant take on old twitchy. Always been amazed how the pundits overhype him as some kind of brilliant manager, even thinking he’d be good enuf to manage the national team.
Great thread, pity it’s marred by one poster’s weekly worship of a City player. Thought this was an Arsenal blog.
Did like Adebayor when I was blinded by the goals he scored a couple of seasons back, of course I did. Didn’t like him as much when he did upset the team and the fans (which, in turn, will upset the team) by saying stupid things. Didn’t like him when he looked like he didn’t try. Still rate him very highly as a striker, if not a player fitting into a team that is very much about team spirit and not individual brilliance (even if we could really need a tad more individual brilliance in the finishing-department).
In the end – quite glad he isn’t with us but really would like a similar player in the team. Not agreeing with BtM on everything he says about Adebayor, far from it, but I wouldn’t say he is marring this here pub. In fact, he’s one of the best reasons to hang around. You do got a great way with words BtM!
You’ve got some points though Marcus, as I readily will admit, even if the truth never is that simple (our team as a whole have evolved this season and with another world class striker we might well be top of the league at the moment).
Good going everyone! More discussions and arguments as long as they are on a civil level!
Loving it (or perhaps it’s just wednesdays win still speaking).
Toby…..I think you’re spot on. If nothing else…Ade’s antics on and off the pitch will largely split opinion. For all the talent he would often display, personally, I’m glad to see the back of him. And while he is enjoying a pretty good rennaisance at Citeh, it’ll be interesting to see what happens next year if they don’t manage to qualify for the Champs League. Will he go touting himself around Europe’s finest in order to get the best deal…..not giving two hoots about causing unrest in the camp? It wouldn’t surprise me!?
We made good money on selling the fella and I’m hoping Wenger will put it to good use in bringing in more talent. Assuming te deal goes through, let’s hope Chamakh will prove to be just the kind of player who has the talent both physically and *mentally* to move us forward to the next level.
IMHO Ade was not that player.
BTM – my initial thought was your comments in post 36 about Adebayor was that you were trolling looking for a reaction and therefore I didn’t bite.
I have only recently started drinking in this here saloon, and I don’t want to cause a rumpus, but I’m afraid that I agree with both Marcus and Don on this occasion – we are better off without the ego maniac.
He will show his true colours when things start going a bit Pete Tong for Citeh and his toys come out the pram demanding a move to Barcelona/Madrid/Milan etc.
I heard an interesting interview with a French hack last night who has said that Chamakh is definitely coming next summer so here’s hoping that AW has got us another that will deliver at the business end of the pitch.
As for kiss the badge Ade, he’s gone, get over it.
Come to think of it, Ade is no looker either……… Another prime example of a footballer with a limited inetellect, who ends up believing his own hype. Good riddance I say.
The mistake was not spending the money on a suitable replacement back in the summer.
A swift night cap if you don’t mind? I have to work tomorrow.
Just seen this post
Jolly good show ‘holic
@39 CG – no need for the caps – we all know it would be AT LEAST 6 (3 goals against United and Chelsea alone, I’d say.)
@64 – Obviously you did. Exactly 20 it was! Even although he was badly injured at Stoke and only started 32 games. Add his 6 assists though and it was a great haul. Better than anyone in the front line is CLOSE to this year. Watch the knock downs that eventually resulted in 12 of RvP’s goals too on your videos.
@65 – 07/08: We were! Six points clear in January! Unfortunately Eduardo leg break and Gallasgate took the shine of the Great Man’s efforts. Ade was the rocket fuel that powered the Starship. Started more games (41), scored 29 (24 in the League). Goonerholic said in January 08:
“Flamini burst forward to land his inch-perfect cross on the head of the Premiership’s most prolific centre-forward. Emmanuel Adebayor provided the finish…..”. Didn’t we love him!! Very nice recounter from the Guvnor, makes the hairs on the back of my neck, even today.
@ Soixante-neuf: If we wanted a looker, we should sign Jessica Alba! She might score more than Arshavin right enough. How is your second language by the way?
Don’t believe everything you read in The Sun, ‘Holics. Have you noticed how the dressing room has calmed since Kolo the Holo in City’s defense left. Check out Willie G. Smiling from ear to ear.
And finally:
@68 : well spotted – the fly always catches the little trout though – and helps nudge Goonerholic up to the 100 mark – even on a Friday when there’s no game on Saturday. Move on up…….
Never mind, we can all watch Ade I suppose and dream of what might have been. He’ll be slamming them in and the BBB will still be calling him lazy. Gerd Mueller was lazy too, I suppose.
Or even better, here’s a wee reminder of what Arsenal look like with a lazy world class hit man up front – enjoy

Another one ‘h. They all read you old son.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/344292-is-harry-redknapp-a-jinx-every-club-he-managed-goes-into-administration
BtM, I’d have Ade 2007/8 back in a flash, but I have to tell you, and you will have to trust me, he was not going to be at Arsenal this season come hell or high water, even if he had wanted to stay. I can say no more.
Intriguing stuff ‘Holic.
My guess is that he was trouble in the dressing room.
He showed what he thought of us at Eastlands – feck him I say.
Hello, ‘Holic. I’ve been a regular visiter this season but other commitments (one, age 3 mainly) have made me too busy to write. Couldn’t resist a comment on your bit on that old twitcher Redknapp. He and his Arsenal hating son are a pair. Thick As Thieves? Literally?
“Ade was the rocket fuel that powered the Starship”
I’m with you BTM. Makes me weep to see these goals in your video and think that he was bood out of the club. We need him now though.
I think first and foremost football is a team game. Yes sure players are professional and don’t necessarily have to get along to play well together, but I think strong team spirit adds an extra dimension to a bunch of good players. Sometimes the team is bigger than the individual. When people debate Adebayor, I am always reminded of this video. Let me set the scene for you. You’ve just scored a goal for your team, which puts you ahead in the Champions League quarter final. A teammate has just done an amazing run nearly the length of the pitch and beaten 5 opponents to square the ball off to you, leaving you with a (relatively) easy tap in, though there was at least 1 other player behind you who could also have tapped in. How would you celebrate?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oHL0am0Q84
oooooh …..shower after the game with the lads? yes …please!
@77 JT- Good pick. Of his 61 goals in three seasons, Ade scored 8 in Europe for Arsenal. The one you chose was one of my favourites. We should have gone on to win that game at Liverpool. Do you remember what happened next? Kolo the Holo, already in terminal decline, conceded his most stoopid penalty. Gerrard scored and we were OUT. (16M for Kolo was a steal of Hawwy Redknap proportions!)
My all time favourite Adebayor goal in Europe though, was the magically wondrous away goal at Villareal – instrumental in getting us to the ECL semi-final last year.
As to how players celebrate? Well, Robin likes to run out to the corner flag. Nasri behind the goal, Denilson Samba’s, Cesc to the corner flag, and on and on. They all do it very differently. It’s just great to see power goals. Personally, I like the Adebayor dances after his goals, with Henry, Kolo, Eboue, Denilson best of all – they all loved these dances, didn’t they? Didn’t we? One every two games too.
What I like about the thirty goals shown in the video is the LOVE that the others players show Ade – making a lie of the propaganda that so many swallowed that he was a negative influence. Rupert Murdoch – you did a nice job of Gooner delusion.
Ah, ‘Holic……
– The pound in my pocket?
– T-rouble with the rouble?
– Too green at the back for the greenback?
– Lost a Bob and found a Tanner?
– Ade made his Mark?
– Yen for a world class hitman?
– You, me and renminbi?
– All a Peso nonsense?
– Can’t see it, blind as a Baht?
– New WC striker is a far-thing?
– A squid ate my quid?
Anyway, enough of this Ade rubbish. There’s 39 points on the table. There’s the European Cup. There’s only one Arsene Wenger
and most importantly of all,
ONLY ONE GOONERHOLIC! – Come on You Gooners!
BTM, if I’m ever in any kind of trouble I want you as my lawyer.
You’ve almost convinced me that Ade wasn’t a complete money grabbing self serving twat. (I said ALMOST)
Can only agree that we do indeed miss his presence and goal getting abilities, and I hope AW brings in a new “Ade” minus the crappy bits in the summer.
@81 Love it, H2H!
I’ve always fancied myself in the Paul Newman role in The Verdict. Moody, drunken and dangerous. If you can find someone to play the Charlotte Rampling part in your melodrama, you can include me in as lead havoc causer at the bar (smiles quietly to self – puts fly rod and wooly buggers back under the stairs).
I can be contacted as below:
BtM Old Rumpoled Legal,
Always at the Bar,
@Goonerholic – Where Gooners have more fun than they deserve.
Me too H2H. I still remain unconvinced that Ade was quite the sweetly fragranced paragon of virtues that BTM would otherwise have us convinced he was. (ok….the hyperbole is for effect but hopefully you get my point). Let’s not forget trouble has followed this guy around for a bloody long time…….long since before he joined Arsenal.
That said, I’m imagining for a small moment just how it could have been had Ade’s head been totally focused on his role at Arsenal rather than making the silly utterances to the press that we had to endure throughout his tenure at the club.
Hugely talented play though he undoubtedly was.
sorry, to be clearer (as opposed to typing on a mobile)…
//Hugely talented player though he undoubtedly was.//
So BTM, I am a tad confused now. If Ade is the best striker in the world, loved by everyone at the club and wanted to stay with us, why did we sell him????????????? Are we that skint????? Bit of a mystery to me that.
Or, and it’s controversial I know, perhaps he had turned into an egotistical player that believed his own hype? Perhaps he had started to piss other players off? Perhaps he had become so distracted with
believing all the shite that he really had got too big for his boots and was having a negative effect on all of those at the club.
As I said, very controversial but you never know????
@85 Steve….take a wee look at Holic 74. Then cheer yourself up by watching the video @ 72 and enjoy thinking what might have been.
Tongue out of cheek now. On a more serious note.
Arsene’s comments and the discussion that followed on financing the acquisition and maintenance of world class strikers was sobering.
It’s one thing to stump up 30Mill+ for the David Villa’s of this world. But the second whammy on top is paying the salary these guys command. Some of the talk reached 150k per WEEK.
That’s a Forth Road Bridge too far. Do the sums.
Assume the guy comes for 4 years:
Transfer Fee – 30 Million
Wages – 30 Million (50 weeks x 150k x 4 years)
Total – 60 Million
Would 60 Million buy us the silverware some crave? No guarantee. He might be crocked in his first game – so there’s a big risk factor.
Another way to look at it. Assume 100 quid per ticket per game. To break even on David Villa, we’d need an extra 600,000 fans through the turnstiles at The Emirates in the next four years.
Where are we going to put them? The ground is usually sold out. No problem! Just raise the ticket prices to cover the 60 million. Then everyone will be happy?
Of-course, we could sell Vela (6), Eduardo (8), Rosicky (8), Walcott (10) and buy Villa, I suppose. A four for one kind of deal?
So, I’m not sitting here hoping to see a world class striker arrive. When Robin recovers we’ll be back to one. Then, we’ll need to wait and see if we can grow another.
BTM. I agree completely with Holic at 74. I was at most of those games and saw with my own eyes how good he was. In the close season is when it all went wrong. He wanted to be the new TH14. Will he move, wont he move. Then he gets his big contract and quite frankly his attitude after that was shocking. The fans actually treated him well after that. Something that surprised me. But trust me, last season he was nothing but a problem and in the end, sealed his own fate. Sadly, he became his own worst enemy.
As well…….when he clearly made it known of his intent to leave, strange that it was singularly money-bags Citeh who came in with the only serious offer. Barca, Juve, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter…..all ov em……were simply not interested. He was considered either (a) overpriced/overrated or (b) more trouble than his overall worth.
It’s a good discussion, lads and it could go on forever. I see your points of view, but being the difficult, stubborn, Scot that I am have to request to “agree to disagree” and then get on to supporting these Gunners to the hilt.
Steve – I may be wrong, but I interpreted ‘Holic @ 74 as money driven and (to be Franc) hence my 80. I thought Ade’s first comment on the club when he arrived at Citeh was telling.
“Everybody’s happy. Arsenal needed the money. They’ve got it now”
I think, to this day, that he was treated abysmally by the fans. Read some back ‘Holics. You’ll see Holic and me both trying to point out that:
More Boos = Fewer Goals (and many variations thereon)
Remember AW? “I have spoken to him on this many times and I believe that the treatment by the fans really shook his confidence”
I was at the famous Citeh game. Our fans spent thirty minutes under the stand practicing “He’s 5 foot 4 …….f**K Adebayor”. He was superb that day and I would have done just as he did with his run.
I never bought the dressing room bit either. Most of the tension was at the back. Kolo was pissed off to be regular third choice (deservedly), he and Willie G couldn’t get on. There’s always tension. The press blew it up around Ade. Gooners bought it.
Denilson “I miss Ade” is the quote I reflect on most in terms of cameraderie. I don’t think Denilson has a political bone in his body.
With that, I rest my case. AND
Come on You Gunners – Make mine a double, barman. A nice rich mix of the League and European Cup will do me very nicely.
P.S. ‘Holic – this was brewing up nicely toward the 100 club. Just a wee bit early with the Chamakh post there, old son. (smile)
No argument from me, BTM. You can have the last word as far as I’m concerned. Can we move on though?
There’s more chance of the ‘spuds’ going bust than there is of sound emanating from the Emirates.
Carry on.
welcome spooky……..!
i’m glad that you dared to follow my advice and come here and join us.
i hope you will report back what you discovered about “arry” to those spuds who are still in the “box”!
