So true. I was only 9 but my brother joined ANL at 15 and used to fight those Nazi skin heads at the marches. He’s got a 5 inch scar on his head from being bottled by one.

It’s worth bearing in mind that 90% of all Man Utd’s league championship wins over 148 years have come from TWO managers. Yet there’s an assumption that they just need to find a manager to return them to glory .

Might be kind of true what with number of Home Counties fans

My mum’s best friend had to give evidence at the trial of Lady Chatterley’s Lover , as the “voice of youth” to say whether she thought it would corrupt the young. She said no.

Good to hear ! But you’ve changed your style Blogs.

Yeah I know , was hesitant to say it, but it’s lost the traditional vibe that it used to have . Every player action is “ player x, of Arsenal” “Player y, of Leeds” Feels automated .

The live blog reads so differently to how it used to. Dare I say, can of reads like Ai…

Looks like the players have missed each other during the break , but not in a good way.

Having shots from distance isn’t just about the likelihood of the shot going in . It creates doubt in the defence , creates uncertainty and variability of options. We need to mix it up more .

It’s a very fair judgment on Arteta’s part and one we all share .

Ah yes could be . I think I’d prefer to be named after your one than mine. But only marginally.

Literally wept after this defeat . Came a week or so after losing FAcup final to West Ham and it was all too much .

Yeah there’s literally nothing a non-legal journalist is going to figure out about this case from watching a dumb Brad Pitt movie about big cars that go VROOM VROOM that some of this country’s top legal minds haven’t over the last few years of forensic legal analysis.

Give him a chance , he saw a movie with Brad Pritt and Brad did a thing .

But Arsenals success has been more spread out over more managers than Utd . I think 7 . Everyone says that it’s strange Utd haven’t win the league since Fergie but maybe it’s just returning to the mean .

bigwillieyoung.bsky.social @bigwillieyoung.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

We kept winning the league after he’d died with George Allison , I think it was more the war which scuppered things

bigwillieyoung.bsky.social @bigwillieyoung.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Liverpool and man Utd are more similar to us. 23 and 25 respectively. I’ve always thought Utd a curious club in that way. Essentially they’ve had two great managers who won pretty much all the league titles in their history . Very unusual for a club of their stature.

Classic mistake . Returning to the scene of the crime .

Interesting point although I know less than zero about the world of finance

Also , in some ways , Burnham is moving back to the Left a bit , certainly left of Starmer and Blair.

Perhaps . But if anywhere in uk is a political bubble it’s very much Camden . Not sure that would translate into much of the rest of UK unfortunately. Latest voter intention polls show Greens sliding back.

In the 50 years I’ve been actively watching Arsenal we’ve only had 7 managers.

130

bigwillieyoung.bsky.social @bigwillieyoung.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I love how we’ve had so few managers in our history . Only 20 managers in total in 130 years . For context ,Spurs have had 24 and Chelsea 29 in the last 50 years .

Yeah “glory” only exists if there’s general public consensus. All that glory’s now been taken for a long drive into the woods and forced to dig its own shallow grave.

Yeah spose so. I guess I think of them as more proto-punk but I’m no aficionado on these matters.

Growing up in the 1980s being a virgin wasn’t seen to be the path to power.

I’ve always loved this photo so much . John Barnes at his absolute physical peak . So much power , poise and grace in that stance even when throwing away the rubbish .

A single state of any kind in the foreseeable would be a fucking blood bath Unfortunately
