Referee Mark Clattenburg is set quit the Premier League before the next round of fixtures to take up a position in Saudi Arabia.

Losing 5-1 was funny enough but the fallout from the Arsenal result is brilliant, all their celebrity luvvie supporters trying to surpass each others outrage on twitter. Chief idiot Piers Moron thinks the players deserve to be water boarded.

I thought that some of you might enjoy this article by Bob Bradley. Only a fairly small part of it is about his short experience in the EPL...

I Am An American Coach

Quote:

One last word for the supporters. I loved my time at your club. I was committed to making it work. I’m sorry I couldn’t be your manager longer.
For 85 days I put my heart and soul into Swansea City. I listened and observed. I watched games over and over. I constantly engaged the players and staff to figure out how we could become a good team. I pushed training and challenged the players to believe. To get better. To understand me and my ideas. I drew on all my experiences, and was never afraid to be myself or to take responsibility. With the players. With the staff. With the media. And with all the people I met in Swansea. It’s the only way I know.
To get anywhere in life you must experience failure. I remain proud and strong. I am ready for the next challenge.
And yes, I am an American coach.

It would appear the Gooners are having a severe case of the Sutton United fear factor.

Can it be confirmed that Lewis Hamilton is an Arsenal supporter?

Yes.

As far as I am aware he is an armchair Gooner.

Well then Arsenal's plight amuses me.

They should also include Damon Hill in that list.

i wonder if wenger thinks he's in with a shout for the barcelona job?

**snowy25** · February 17th, 2017, 03:40 PM

He has said today he will manage a club next season so we will have to see which club he is at. I suspect he may well still be at Arsenal with the view of it being his final season next time around. As far as I can tell from online chat the contract that was offered to him earlier in the season is still on the table. Whether that will change though if they failed to finish in the top 4 is yet to be seen.
