So so sad,thoughts are with Darren

Managed to dig out the old password (thought id lost this account tbh) but not for good news.

Was sent this when I woke up this morning.

RIP Supernova

Well I can't believe there is one here without a mate so it's at least 50/50 to be the same one.

Then again, I wonder if both sexes call?

You're doing well Doobs. I haven't heard one for about 15 years.

I could hear one at parkrun this morning.  So 2 in 2 weeks, though it could possibly be the same one? I don't know how far they travel; but 4 miles seems a possibility. 

I can honestly say that having experienced Emery's management style at Arsenal I never regretted his leaving for a moment, even during Arteta's struggles early on in the first year of his tenure. I had some doubts during that period but never at any time did I rue Emery's sacking.

nice read mondy happy to hear your doing well

It's a bit scary how many long-term blondes, many of them 20 years here, are struggling with health. We are all growing old together - obv - at at an age when our bodies start to creak & groan with all manner of ailments.

Why I got in front of the curve

Get things moving in your 20s and then nothing to worry about!

I've been very hit and miss these last few rounds but I'm obviously on the cusp of greatness.

Ralph has gone beyond the cusp. He'll be shooting his age soon.


I'm currently off 21.7. See you Monday.

Some nice rounds there Tom, be in the teens before you know it.

Interesting article.

In relation to Sky sports, I feel they are generally pretty good. The glaring exception tends to be the ex-footballer co-commentator. Almost all of which have no Managerial experience. And make a half-decent comment in the 1st minute of a game. And then repeat it every other minute for the entire game. I'm sure which 1 you dislike the most is based on who you support. For this Spurs fan, does feckin Alan feckin Smith have it written into his contract that he can give his ill-informed twaddle at every single Spurs game?

But is (for example) Carragher or Neville better? And Jamie Redknapp is only not nasty because he is routinely beige.

For me, the Jury is still very much out on Arteta. Has he improved your lot? Yes. Has he won anything worthwhile yet? No. And articles like that 1, seeking to get the excuses in first, don't really help. If he wins, suspect it will be down to him. And if he doesn't, it will be due to the players. In his mind, at least.

Wenger was a brilliant Manager. Emery would IMHO have been just as good, had he been the Manager after the Manager after Wenger. Timing is everything. Meanwhile your squad is unbalanced. If your Forwards were as good as your Reserve Defenders and Midfielders, your lot would be a lot more confident
