Man U 8 ? 2 Arsenal, wait a minute that's an eight, ho hum ?

I sat watching a match that resembled a sporting charge of the light brigade, a Battle of Balaclava laid bare at a park in old Trafford??

I have adapted poet laureate Lord Tennyson?s poem:

?Reds to right of them, Reds to left of them, Reds in front of them, volley'd and thunder'd, not tho' the strikers knew, someone had blunder'd... charging an army, while all the world wonder'd, when can their glory fade? O the wild charge they made!, Honour the charge they made!, Honour the Gunners, noble eleven? ..

Arsenal?s worst defeat since 1896 in Loughborough Town, poop the duvet the score line resembled a hockey score, I evoke Tennyson, because the Arsenal?s faithful fans stayed and chanted ?we love you Arsenal, we do?. ?such devotion, such defiance?shame it did not filter onto the pitch....

Wenger?s transfer policy is patently bonkers.

The Gunners need a centre-half in either Gary Cahill or Phil Jagielka however Wenger on Sunday night announced a deal was close to sign South Korean play maker Park Chu-Young. Let?s not take anything away from Park Chu-Young, a talent for sure, but hardly the Cavalry.

Oh How Arsenal miss David Dein, the director that gave Wenger a solid kick up the Jacksie to get him into action in the transfer market, moving early on targets, even if the Wenger is adopting his best tight wad impression, conversation went along the lines of:

Arsene Wenger: ?But David ?2m is far too dear?!!?

David Dein: "just buy the player you tight wad!"

Wenger harped on about lacking 11 players with ambition but ambitious clubs have strenght in depth.
It?s god given fortune that United started without Vidic or Valencia. From the off Man U ruthlessly exploiting Arsenal?s flaws clearly laid bare through the inexperience of players in key positions.

Look Arsenal had Coquelin, Traor? and Under 17 Ozyakup accompanied by French Under 21 Sunu sitting on the bench, in reserve Man U had Berbatov, Ferdinand and Giggs. There is no comparison.

It came as little surprise when Man U fans began singing to Wenger ?you?re getting sacked in the morning???..Well it is not over yet the body is still twitching?.. hold the last rites ??. Mega Hugs to Kayoko ....

Olympic 2012 .....

??????.Now the Reality ??read and weep ? some of the bullit points

240 VIPs will be given exclusive use of their own luxury BMW saloon, complete with a driver, while another 2,800 officials will use a pool of opulent vehicles provided free.

Along the Olympic routes all non-Olympic traffic, including private cars, lorries, buses and taxis, will have to use the bus lane. The outside lane will be reserved for Olympic officials.

Transport chiefs will remove pedestrian crossings along the route to make way for the VIP lanes.

Right turns will be banned on junctions on the route to ensure traffic does not hold up the Olympic dignitaries.

Organisers have spent ?12million of public money fitting underground sensors along the dignitaries' route which will detect congestion surrounding VIP cars and then doctor nearby traffic signals to speed them on their way.

The fleet of luxury cars will not be available to Olympic athletes who will have to use special buses and bicycles.
Motorists will be slapped with a ?200 fine if they ignore the restrictions and venture into the Games Lanes ? imposed between 6am and midnight on 30 miles of Central London roads

Written by Baron de Coubertin The Olympic Oath:

"In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams." ???
