From William : I’m amazed
There’s been so much angst from many gooners following the 2-1 loss to Bolton.
And I can’t help but wonder why.
The state of the team has been well-documented season after season – with no desire to address its shortcomings – yet my fellow gooners are expecting some miracle.
Wake up, pals, and see the eventual demise of the ‘boiling frog’ – a man whom I once adored but now feel near hatred for.
From Ian : Fate
Your postbag will probably be bulging, so I will keep this short:
Why is it that Lee Dixon, in two five-minute analyses last week and this week, is able to get to the root of Arsenal’s problems in defence, yet AW and all the highly-paid staff have been unable ALL YEAR to organise a cogent and well-drilled back four?
I just feel pity for AW now, which is the last emotion he should want.
Deluded and raging against the fates, has a manager ever had to epitomise the Greek notion of hubris more than him?
They also had a saying: “”Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.”
Sad, sad, sad.
From Adi D : Write, Myles, write
I have, just like most Arsenal fans, anguish, anger and hatred and a lot of bottom line sadness running through my veins.
It is against Arsenal board, Arsenal manager and some Arsenal players… when I think about it i get totally lost as to where to start and when I start I don’t know quite where to end.
I am, thus, hoping you’d put it ever so eloquently the failings of our manager, our team and the lack of ambition of our board.
I want to read your writing on this..not that you haven’t written before but one last time now that the nail is well and truly in the wood.
Cheers.
From Jim Leeves: End of season
Don’t waste your time, Myles.
It’s already been said.
Go out and enjoy the sun.
Jim, Canterbury

Sound advice, Jim. We’re going for a walk.
Not, Mrs Palmer assures me, a drive and then a walk.Just a walk.
Adi, I’ve done a short piece and will post it tomorrow. Hope I’ve summed up in the way you want.
Hubris, Ian, is correct.
King Arsene has a tragic flaw, so it’s been a Shakespearean tragedy for some time.
We’re watching Act 3.
