Making the Eavis family rich.

Arsenal don't lose matches like this.

Even when we were 4th we weren't always consistent and picked up some wins that perhaps we were lucky to. We finished 7th because that is where we belonged overall on average over the season. Yes we could have finished higher but we could also have finished lower. As you say, after losing so many players and our manager to finish 7th was an incredible achievement. Roll on next season!

Blatter needs to be carted off in a dawn raid next. How can he not have known what has been going on in his organisation?

He seems completely oblivious to all that is wrong with FIFA. I despair. It is 2015 and we have this buffoon and this bent and busted organisation running the biggest sport in the world. How does it happen in this day and age?

Wasn't happy to lose him at the time but £16m was a steal.

Notice how Arsenal improved once Chambers was well away from the 1st team?

Is that MLT on the right?

They are both as sad as each other. There is so much more to life.

JRod wasn't so convincing initially. He used to flap at shots and was nowhere near the finished article. He improved. We have to hope that Long can too. I think the main problem is his price. If we had paid £6m for him I don't think anyone would be complaining.

Blatter certainly has a brass neck. Anyone with a shred of decency would have resigned by now.

Bournemouth have signed another, slightly younger keeper. Looks like Artur will have some competition for his place!

Indeed.

They still vet the businesses that are allowed to operate at the farm. The Guardian gets in every year and people like Oxfam. When I worked for The Guardian we were allowed to sell the other papers but he would let any others in with their own pitches.

As Hugh Hefner was mentioned would anyone really want to be him? Prancing around in PJs, dressing gown and pipe he looks like a total ***t. And if he thinks that the women sleep with him because they fancy him his is delusional.

You probably know that nicotine is one of the fastest acting drugs on the central nervous system. People get addicted pretty quickly. I wouldn't say that is a great choice.

I am sorry Sarnia but you really don't get it. There isnt one person here who doesn't think there are things wrong in the UK and there a plenty of threads about that stuff. The crazy level of butchery by guns is not sensationalising the situation. If you cant see that there is something fundamentally wrong with blowing away unarmed people then something isn't right. There is a legal system which it seems many of your officers cant be bothered with. I know which country I would rather be in if I have a run in with the police. Nothing to do with moral highground but plenty to do with not releasing quasi paramilitary's on the streets to shoot people without an arrest, a trial and a verdict.

I agree. I also don't think it is a decent way to make a living. There is a train of thought that says that a little alcohol now and again isn't bad for you. I've never heard anyone say that about a cigarette. The body can metabolize alcohol, it cant metabolize the toxins in tobacco. You may not do yourself any major damage smoking a couple of fags a week, but you certainly are not doing your body any good.

LOL, now there's a thought!

Lovren, Lallana.....

Amazed to see how many points Pelle and Forster have got so far given the grief they have both been given here this season! Also, we finished 7th. A best points haul granted but I think the points for each player a high given that we didn't have consistency.

Bit different. Rope has many purposes and I doubt that many people go to B & Q with an express desire to buy rope to hang themselves. For example, I have just bought some sash cord but will use it to tie up my canoe, not wrap around my neck. I think it is fair to say that the tobacco industry kills and maims millions of people each year. Not many other uses for tobacco other than to do yourself harm.

If those penalties had been given against us (and we were lucky on several occasions) we could have finished lower. Its all ifs and buts that the point of the league is consistency. Chelsea were the most consistent team so won the league. The rest of us ended up where we are because of what we achieved over the whole season. Every club will have its tales of woe. How rubbish have ManU been this season but fair play to them, they have made it to the CL. As you said yourself, after having had the guts ripped out of the club last summer this season has been a revelation. We should be very proud of all at the club for what they have achieved.

Winning our last home game 6-1 wasn't too shabby was it? Ok, we didn't maintain our best form all season but then we don't have the money to get that kind of squad in depth that you need at this level. It has been a wonderful season and from here lets hope we build for next season and do even better. We have a top manager, the makings of a decent squad. Plenty to be optimistic about.

Top man. Congrats Kelvin. I hope the club find a role for you.
