Football has become such a mercenary sport now, it is nothing like how it was when I watched my first match at the age of 4 at Highbury. Fans cheered their side even if they were losing, and the board didn't change their manager every 6 months either.

Now, if Arsenal were down the bottom and struggling to maintain their top flight status, then yes the fans are entitled to boo the team, and demand a change in manager. But Arsenal will come good again, I'm sure they will.

I hope they will.

On a positive note, I'm pleased with Stevenage getting Tottenham at home, down to the stadium tomorrow to see if I can get a ticket for the match. Well worth spending money that is. Although I might get thrown out as I can get rather vocal watching football. Let's just say no swear word is left unsaid lol.

Pop quiz now:

Which player, if money was no object, would you sign for your team and why?

Messi, do I really need to give a reason?
