Should there be a sequel to the film? No. Am I still looking forward to it? Yes.

Just the man we need.

Watford 1st up with this guy Official: João Pedro Permit Approved!

Risk, but why not? Arsenal will have to be very patient though, he's learning the ropes on the job.

That also has not helped but what world class manager wants to go through a 3 part interview process trying to sell themselves to the club. Surely Arsenal should be trying to sell themselves to the managers especially the state they are in. The people running the club are clueless which has created this mess with false promises.

Been saying that for ages. It gives the midcarders a shine and means you aren't getting bombarded with 'big' (nothing) match after match.

Every right to question Halal, but you must also question Kosher, which seems to have been unquestioned until now when people tag it on to end of their rant about Halal? Happily ban both of them myself. The Jewish Chronicle article being published is unsurprising, Pollard the editor is a very right wing editor and was one of the most fervent in the attempts to paint Corbyn as an anti-Semitic Svengali, almost comparable to the Nazis. His paper is vehemently anti-Muslim and sees the Israeli-Palestine conflict of one of civilisation versus barbarism. Pre election there were some risible attempts to make this about anti racism but now the Tories are safely installed you'll see the reality of what people like Pollard believe. Pollard isn't representative of the Jewish population though, we mustn't dismiss their very real concerns because of his thinly veiled bigotry. FWIW, though the tone of Phillips' argument is clearly one of hate and dislike of Muslims for a variety of reasons, there is a clumsiness around the word 'Islamaphobia'. Being critical of the religion of Islam is not something which should be discouraged, in fact we don't want it spreading beyond a private belief of some British citizens, same as any other religion. Anti-Muslim bigotry would perhaps describe what people want to defend against.

Not sure if this has been posted but this is a good thread on Mikel Arteta

It seems like WWE are putting weekly shows ahead of second rate PPVs after the way TLC went. I don't have a problem with it but I'd rather them go back to the old concept where Raw and Smackdown have there own individual PPVs every 2/3 months (raw get backlash, smackdown get judgement day etc) just to make the second rate PPVs feel more meaningful.
