Nerd points.

I looked it up too just to see. On May 12, 2005 Arsenal won the FA Cup (after just wrapping up the league title too) and on August 7, 2005 they picked up the Community Shield too. If they don't play and win the 2012 CL final on 12 May this year then Arsenal cannot win a trophy at all until February 2013 at the earliest. Which would be 8 years and 5 months (and however many days - the League Cup is usually the last week of Feb) for Arsenal to not win a trophy of any kind.

Ouch.

So, "fickle" is another word for "disloyal", is it?

Yeah, I thought that too. He also said he wished he had bought Hart. de Gea must have been thrilled too.

He also said he was stepping down in 2 years - and didn't know who was going to replace him, but highlighted how Moyes had done such a brilliant job. Jesus, no offence Zargof, but not David Moyes.....
