No, no. I cannot let you take the blame for that. After a quarter century of being married you would think that the frequency of my gafes would decrease. Such is not the case.

You're right. Just look at News on french TV : we are always screewing things....but pretend not; or it was not our fault !!
Now, just look at me : i screw everything, and i pretend it, so no one can blame me for hidding...
Now, look at the past : how many time a french was involved in something good ?

Platon, Socrate, Aristote : not french
Hyppocrate : not french
Copernic, Kepller, Galilee, Newton : not french
Darwin : not french
Bill Gates ....oh wait, this one is not an example.

I have just read the posts re Nicklas Bendtner and I think most of you are getting there although are still failing to grasp the fundamental point. Allow me to explain:

- Bendtner has a hugely inflated opinion of himself; true
- He's actually not very good; true

Ergo and thertofore - yes, he may be considered a t**t. However, he is not alone in exhibiting the above characteristics; think Emanuel Adebayor, Francis Jeffers etc

However the defining feature that ensures his t**tiness, is simply this: The man is a Gooner. Nuff said .

And you? Spurs? They're usually the most bitter towards Arsenal

Try to buck up my friend. I know it is hard at times like these. Are there any good friends, family members you can talk to during this period ? That can help a lot.

And please do not feel like you are in anyway unwelcome here. Post as often as you would like, that may also help. For what it is worth, you are in my prayers.

Certainly no offence taken here - and I trust my comment was taken in the same vein. To me the whole French / English (British) rivalry will always be there, but we no longer need to go to war to continue it

. We can and should accept the past is the past and laugh about it where possible. The rivalry now is in sport, not war - Rugby Union and Football especially. God I hate losing to the French!!

Yes I am afraid I am bitter toward Arsenal a) they are north London rivals (so fair enough) b) they are more successful than us (so a large streak of envy is now thrown into the mix) c) their manager I accept is very good at his job but the way he goes about it sometimes really irritates. The top managers all have little spats from time to time, but only he managed to pick an argument with Martin Jol and poor Alan Pardew for goodness sake..

My legal advisors from D, C & H have recommended me not to elaborate further on this topic.

Edited: Grammar.

But virulent love making is apparently perfectly fine to discuss.

I must respectfully point out that I'm not elaborating on that either. What others do is not my business

Oh sorry THREAD; that's not a funny post. Will try not to polute anymore the humor of my brothers threadster.

Eric, you're (as always) welcome to blow off some steam whenever you feel you need to, and if you need some support.

Just try to see the positive things in life. I know it's hard when you're feeling down, but just try. IMHO, you're doing a fine job at being a loving husband and a good human being. Try to stay on that track and you will eventually be rewarded.

Going out for a walk to greet mother nature and the budding spring, as well as listening to the birds singing would probably do you some good. That usually works for me when I'm feeling a little down

The top managers all have little spats from time to time, but only he managed to pick an argument with Martin Jol and poor Alan Pardew for goodness sake..

Call it a wild guess

The only managers that really get on my nerves are Fergie and 'Big' Sam Allardyce who just seems to be a total tosser. You're right though, they all have their moments, seeing Harry tell a reporter to **** off when he was called a wheeler-dealer made me smile.

It's all academic anyway, League 2 is where it's at

Actually I have an amusing real life story concerning that "W" word.

When I served in Kosovo, I and a colleague of mine happened to get in a conversation about cars with a couple of UK/USA officers.

My friend was going to tell them he had one of those Mazda's with a Wankel engine, forgot the real name and instead said he had "a Mazda with a Wanker engine" ...

Let's just say that amusement ensued ...
