And just as I thought it couldn’t get better, a delightful jibe at “Le Grove”. Good stuff, Grabbers, keep it up. Rather pants result yesterday, mind.

Ooh, without meaning to sound (too) sycophantic, has everyone listened to today’s Arsecast? The interview with Arshavin and Talkshite Radio are pure pod gold.

Nonny Mouse is spot on. What makes the achievement of this site so remarkable is that English is actually Grabber’s 7th language, behind Inuit (his mother-tongue), Swahili, Igbo, Chinyanja, Manchurian and Persian. What a man.

Personally, I bloody love PV4 and would have liked to see him back at Arsenal, if only to add a bit of gravitas to the dressing room. He always did seem good at being very serious. Perhaps Eboue vetoed the signing on those grounds. We’ll never know.

Not really worried about him playing for City, they’ve already got Ireland, de Jong, Barry and Kompany, so it’s hardly much of a strengthener in my opinion. Weird that they also wanted Veron (didn’t I post something about him way back last season as a potential midfield stopgap for us?) I was mocked, obviously, but he’s hit top form since then. I’ll probably be mocked again. Ah, well.

well, i’ve always been a bit of an Untold Arsenal fan, but the smugness and arrogance levels had been rapidly rising in that blog until i thought it would get renamed “ATWOOD’S ARSENAL” or “UNTOLD TONY”.

Recently however, this smugness appears to have rescinded to a palatable level. Which is a relief because it is, in the vast majority, a well reasoned and well-researched blog with a good sense of humor.

I don’t think you should be looking to anyone for inspiration though lads, you seem more neutral than most in the AKBs vs Doom and Gloomers war. You also give my ribs a prime old tickle here and there.

Just don’t fuck off again for months!!

Golly gosh, so much rage. Clearly Gooners have become angrier over the past few months.

I apologise, ‘edits needed lad’, for the disastrous one/won error. Appalling. It has been fixed.

Nice to hear from the rest of you non-angry people. Ought we be reading any other blogs for inspiration do you think?

You said:

A team in which well-known violently misogynist moron Craig Bellamy is regarded as wizened elder is WON where expectations are low.

It should at least be…
A team in which well-known violently misogynist moron Craig Bellamy is regarded as wizened elder is ONE where expectations are low.

Proof read in the future. Other than that I have mixed feelings on him returning too…we need a midfielder but although I think he’s past it I am concerned about if he’ll do the job against us in April when we play Shitty.

Wow… some very unsatisfied customers today. I can’t exactly see why, the content is both relevant and reasonable, in my humble opinion. As for Nonny Mouse’s comment, I think we need to relax. This is an Arsenal blog, we’re not studying Ovid.

And Le Grove is written by and for the Arsenal supporters that make the rest of us look bad. And yes, I just started not one, but two sentences with ‘and’. And I’d do it again.
