The local police have put out an appeal to the local community asking if everyone could please not commit a crime between 8pm and 11pm this evening.
Someone has replied saying
It's a deal and could you lot refraine nicking anyone from 6am to 6pm tomorrow.
Love it 🖒😊😆😆.

Apparently there is a new bidder for taking over at Arsenal and she is able to offer The Kronkee's something money can't buy in oder to take control of the club.
The lady in question is probably the most famous Arsenal fan on earth and is prepared to offer Stan her extensive and prestigious London home in exchange for full control of Arsenal.
Not only is she a life long gooner also her grandson is too, and it's her grandson she wishes to run the club as he has suddenly found himself at a lose end and she feels running Arsenal will be a positive way of keeping him occupied plus she hopes it might encourage him and his family to return to the UK to live and unite the family which has been going through a bit of a difficult period lately.
No this rumour is not from the usual tabloid media and I didn't read it on twitter or Facebook, it was written in my tealeafs this morning and compared to most media outlets the teanleafs have a pretty good success rate.
Oh and if the deal goes ahead Stan is going to demolish Buck house and build a Walmart.

Apparently City are surprised by the talk of us announcing Artetta as our manager when we haven't even spoken to them and agreed compensation.
Whatever has happened at Arsenal we used to be so prim and proper in how we conducted our business.
1.) 19 Dec 2019 11:17:19
This could be because the way they poached our players in the past. Pay back I guess.
2.) 19 Dec 2019 12:48:18
I doubt it but if so how old is josh 5?
City have well moved on from the Mark Hughes buy Arsenal days and have no interest in any of our players now days.
I'd incompetence was the more likely explanation than pay back.

I'm not sure if Emery can't or won't change his ways but either way it's plainly obvious his ways his methods his tactics just aren't working at premier league level.
What would be the point in continuing with Emery few more games or weeks! What is going to suddenly start working that hasn't worked upto this point in time?
9 points over 26 games isn't impossible to make up but neither will it be a formality for a new manager either.
There are absolutely no guarantees that if we change managers things will suddenly come good but there is a genuine possibility they might under a different manager that simply doesn't exist under Emery.
We have a squad that has the quality in abundance we just need someone who can organise and motivate them into a cohesive team that functions to its full potential.
There is no logical reason to carry on with Emery, I've read people saying the club don't want to pay his compensation money and would rather let him see out his contact to save what a £3 millions pay off?
But that's just people being negative towards the board because I'm sure Josh and Co are more than capable of working out the financial loss of champions league football money v £3 million in compensation without the need to consult the world's greatest mathematic brains first.
1.) 10 Nov 2019 13:24:20
As usual, nothing to disagree with from G62. I have little faith in the board to act decisively. They have a history of dithering and fiddling while the team burns on the pitch. As you said elsewhere, the only language they understand is empty terracing. I would rather listen to us lose on the radio, than freeze my arse off sitting at the Emirates.
I would love to be wrong, but those hoping for a sacking on Monday. I wouldn't hold my breath.
2.) 10 Nov 2019 15:08:24
Hi Urban mate I think you've got it bang on, vote with you bum if your not happy and spend your time doing something that does make you happy until the club team and manager give you reason to feel they are your best way of spending your time and money again.
3.) 10 Nov 2019 19:24:06
I just don’t know how emery is making Managing Arsenal look like a difficult job? This season I honestly couldn’t tell you what system we’re playing. Yes Wenger was dated, but you knew what you was getting. A team trying to play possession football until an opening presented itself. Against Leicester, we couldn’t even string 5 passes together. No one knew where each other are, we got strikers playing like wingers, playing so deep against a team that plays with 1 striker. Emery isn’t connected to his players and he’s not connected to the fans. Sack this tactical fraud, leave Freddie in charge til we can get a manager with a clear vision.
4.) 10 Nov 2019 19:43:08
It's true ice mate we have no identity no structure no Arsenal way of playing that the players can get they're heads around and become comfortable with and most importantly good at.
Every game a different starting 11 a different game plan a different formation what chance do our players have? And of course they are only human so are naturally becoming deflated and losing interest and motivation to simply indulge yet more nonsense.
5.) 11 Nov 2019 09:58:15
Icy, you are so right. It was embarrassing watching us play what amounted to a back five against a side with a lone striker. And Gunner, spot on about identity, we don't have one at all. We even had one under Graham, albeit based on grinding opponents down and a very flat back four with their hands up every five minutes. I watched Liverpool yesterday afternoon, and even with some (one) lucky breaks, they looked every bit the finished article where we look pedestrian. The worst of it is, our front three/ four are the measure of anything Liverpool have got. But the rest is disorganised, poorly deployed, and yes, lacking any kind of identity.
The papers (I know) are this morning reporting the boards confidence in Emery. If true, I'm not surprised. Of course, we don't want a trigger happy board, but one season, and a third of this one, is enough to know. It could be a long frustrating season.
6.) 11 Nov 2019 10:25:20
In a game that’s about numbers and statistics, I’d be curious to know which one Emery is impressing in, that’s keeping him in that seat.
Ed any inside news on what’s happening? I just can’t accept the board are content with him because under him, Speaking statistically, we won’t challenge top 4 and we don’t want to bank winning Europe when we can’t hold a clean sheet.
{Ed002's Note - It was a mistake brining him in and as I said he was far from first choice. The club has gambled financially on getting in to the top four come the end of the season, and that remains the primary target. It is difficult to see anything happening before the summer when I suspect there might well be a change.}
7.) 11 Nov 2019 10:54:47
The papers are all quoting Ormstein Urban mate so it's a highly credible that is the boards position.
I'm pinning my hopes on the board using Ormstein as a deflection tactic and going to surprise us all as they did when they let the papers run with the "we only had 40 million to spend" story all last summer then bosh! broke our transfer record :-) I know it's not a theory you'd want to put your house on being correct is it :-) ?
Like you said yesterday mate vote with your bum and if your not happy with what's being offered simply don't accept it and find a more enjoyable way of spending your time and money, 20,000 empty seats is an extremely difficult fans message to ignore for long.
8.) 12 Nov 2019 06:49:18
I'm with you 62 fingers crossed 🤞.

People are letting fireworks off already would you believe ?
Our dog was so startled it almost knocked the Christmas tree over.

This season Mathew, Liverpool are going to be! Manchester City 2024/ 25
Started off the new season where they finished the previous season until! Their first league defeat was followed by a champions league defeat a few days later followed by a second consecutive league defeat in a week.
Drum roll please ???? this years Tears in Their Eyes winners are Liverpool Football Club ????.
30 Sep 2025 22:30:52
Last season Premier league champions City were going really well in the league and looking good value to retain their title, until they suffered their first league defeat of the season quickly followed a few days later by a shock champions league defeat, before going into freefall for the rest of the season.
I'm not saying that Liverpool fans should definitely be worried about the same thing happening to their team, but football does have a funny habit of repeating itself ????.
1.) 01 Oct 2025 03:24:49
Maybe g62, but all the same I think their ability to take points in the league despite not playing too well means that the title run will be a close thing whoever wins it. They go hell for leather for the last 30 minutes of every game - something we are only now learning to do.
2.) 01 Oct 2025 10:10:53
Blessings in disguise, liverpool will go through a lot more hurdles this season the media looks like they are already sharpening their knives, and i don't believe liverpool will be able to sustain another season. As long as we sort our medical team I am very optimistic about this season.
3.) 01 Oct 2025 14:41:19
I watched their last two games and not only did they lose but they were actually abysmal. Although, last season they didn't play well and walked the league, so I wouldn't write them off yet (;
4.) 01 Oct 2025 16:17:18
Everybody goes through a bad patch and drop points, we need to capitalise on it and hold our side of the bargain to get the points we need. Last three seasons we have dropped points when we absolutely had to win towards the business end of the season and that has cost us. We need to be as perfectly consistent as possible throughout the season.
28 Sep 2025 17:31:53
Much more positive approach ?, very unlucky to be behind.
1.) 28 Sep 2025 18:37:29
Totally deserved and well won 3pts. Went for it and made it happen for ourselves ????.
2.) 28 Sep 2025 18:54:17
Could be defining result John mate.
3.) 28 Sep 2025 19:02:36
Very true - missed you on live chat bud.
Hope you are well.
4.) 28 Sep 2025 20:02:11
Let's today marks the day we decided to throw off the shackles and really go for it Bill mate ?. All good in this hood Sy and hope it's the same with you and yours mate ?.
21 Sep 2025 17:29:45
Big 45 minutes coming up for Arteta, he has to show he is capable of overriding his cautious nature and using a quality squad to its full potential.
Lose today after once again showing his fear of his biggest rivals and he's in big trouble.
1.) 21 Sep 2025 18:42:23
Absolute bottle job from Arteta. He’s an embarrassment to our so called 1Bn investment and title credentials. Viktor looked slow and not hungry to get into dangerous positions. Team happy to play sideways and the boss watches on happy as Larry. Eze on the bench and Merino starts. Come on. We were the home team and City meant to be a poor City. Haaland showing how you buy a proper fast deadly striker. Bloody Martinelli showing we need a speedy striker as an option because we don’t play to whatever Vik’s strengths are. Perhaps delaying so long to get him hasn’t helped but we aren’t playing to our strengths or with any intent like a title challengers.
BOTTLE JOB BOTTLE JOB BOTTLE JOB ARTETA PATHETIC BOSS - you should be ashamed and embarrassed if not - get your coat.
{Ed025's Note - you can be over the top at times SY but i dont think you are far wrong today mate, the set up and the tactics are very underwhelming and the "we must not lose" mantra rather than "we must win" is dragging the side down, unless you change that attitude you will soon find yourselves as top 4 contenders only and another false dawn will come and go..
2.) 21 Sep 2025 19:08:52
City were there for the taking, and our starting eleven was a poor decision by the manager.
I understood it slightly away from home at Liverpool, but at home today it was almost cowardly.
{Ed025's Note - almost?..
3.) 21 Sep 2025 19:27:27
I know I have been and am
Why…
There’s been a circus protecting him in media and in fan base. Feels like at last questions are being asked.
He’s been this way for past 3 or so years but never under pressure because we were rubbish before he joined. Somehow that means expectations have to drop - no.
He turned us around - well done but you’ve been praised and paid. Now we need to win.
Can he take us forward - I don’t think so but hope wrong
Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for reply - I know I annoy people and repeat myself. I am sorry.
{Ed025's Note - i dont think you are annoying SY, you are a passionate supporter mate who cant take being second best and there is nothing wrong with that in my eyes..
4.) 21 Sep 2025 19:43:11
Sy 4 I do not blame victor we are not giving him any kind of service. We have all longed for a number 9 we have to play to his strengths or it's a waste of money!
5.) 21 Sep 2025 21:24:47
Viktor didn’t make use of the chances or crosses that were there for him. He didn’t do anything except look slow and not hungry. No decent runs, no great touches, no turn of speed and no shouting at people to pass quicker. Would Ian Wright put up with that service. Would he have been in a better position for the couple of great crosses Noni did. Viktor wasn’t to blame but he doesn’t look part of the solution at present or a 25 epl goals per season striker. Did he put their keeper under pressure at corners? Where was he dangerous?
Look at Haaland - fast and deadly. If he’s not happy - the team know. He’s a winner.
Where is our boy going to cause big teams away from home challenges? Caused zero today. Zero against Liverpool and to be fair not much in other games. He needs to step up PLUS we need to play to his strengths.
Would he have pulled off Martinelli goal - have the run and pace? Where is he going to be dangerous as I don’t see it yet. It’s not pace. I really wanted a pacey striker to start or be in the bench.
6.) 21 Sep 2025 23:03:56
His touch was terrible also.
11 Jun 2025 20:40:25
I don't really know anything about Sesko mate but his goals per game record doesn't look all that, but if he joins us hopefully with good service that will improve dramatically ?.
11 Jun 2025 18:45:15
Well said Cumbria mate ?.
31 May 2025 16:32:31
We have to hope so mate, I don't genuinely knowledge but if I had put a months money on it one way or the other I'd have no hesitation in backing both to sign new deals and stay with us.
28 May 2025 19:26:47
BBC main page reporting it Mark mate, usually means it's happening as they normally deal in news on the main page and keep the rumours separate in their gossip round up.
28 May 2025 19:22:04
Billions? Just shows the lack of ambition from the owners. If they really cared about winning they'd spend Trillions at least ?????.

Chinese buffet for me today, my 4th visit to this fantastic restaurant that unquestionably serves the best Chinese food I personally have ever tasted.
Back to the diet tomorrow ?.

Beef in bun with slice of cheese onions and a pickle reduction for me.
05 Oct 2025 16:39:51
Hi Dracred, i think its absolutely crazy that some Liverpool fans are already turning on Slot and the team and writing off your season, not just after only 7 games but when you are equal top of the table on points? I remember some Liverpool fans turning on Klopp early in the season after he'd delivered your first title in 30 years ???
It takes all sorts mate and its those fans who are reacting crazily to your early season blip and who are so crazily offended by Arsenal fans on this page feeling positive about their own teams chances who my jokes about Liverpool are 100% aimed at mate.
05 Oct 2025 14:55:44
Arnie did a brilliant job last season in seamlessly replacing the icon that was Klopp and delivering a title in his first season ????
The question is now is can Arnie find his inner Kindergarten Kop and make everything better or will he need to find his inner Terminater and begin rebuilding in January, if Liverpool should lose to United and it will be Judgement Day for Arnies Army and he might need to top up on underwear or he'll end up having to go Commando by the time October is out and he'll need to dig deep into his memory banks to have Toatal Recall of last season. Alternatively will Arnie be offended by the Liverpool fans who are turning on him so quickly after winning the league and choose to become The Running Man?
Tune in after the international break folks for the next intriguing episode of This City (impression) Is Ours.
05 Oct 2025 12:20:38
Hi Dracred you were without question the best team in the country last season mate, the Leeds team that won the last ever Division One title were the worst team I've ever seen win the league followed by the United team that comfortably won Fergie his last ever title, the Liverpool team of last season were far better than either of those title winning teams in my opinion.
I know a lot of Liverpool fans felt their team didn't get the recognition they deserved for being runaway champions and many were offended by Arsenal fans who were upset about us not getting 3pts at Anfield this season let alone a point, but i do hope that those Liverpool fans are now more understanding of other clubs fans who don't believe you are currently the force your title win last season suggested you were. The best team always wins the title over 38 games and every team finishes where they deserve to finish once those 38 games are played but sometimes one 38 game season isn't a true reflection of a teams overall quality.
