Angry fans

The Examiner’s football correspondent Liam Mackey likes a good argument

when he hears it, and he’s got strong views of his own. Today, and every

Tuesday, he will be acting as referee on your opinions on the Premiership. Let

him know what you think and he’ll argue the toss with you. We’ll be

offering a free sports prize to the star contribution each week.

This

week there’s predictions all round; Arsenal fans spread a little love for

Tottenham; someone wants awards for the actors in the dugouts; there’s lively

debate about Platini’s French revolution at UEFA; bewilderment over Bolton

and Cork Blue gets a red card for optimism.

Letter of the week

goes to Liam McKinstry for his attack on referees who book players for celebrating

after Hesselink’s dismissal at the weekend. An address please Liam.

I CAN assure Mr Keating, the deluded Spurs fan from last week’s column,

that Arsenal’s new stadium is far from being “stupid.” I suppose

the fact that it emphasises the vast gulf between our two clubs is why he’s

become so bitter. He also seems to know much more about safety and ticket allocation

for away fans than the Metropolitan Police, the Football Licensing Authority and

Islington Council combined!

He can’t sleep at night wondering whether

we will ever be able to host a high profile cup match at our ground. Whisper this

very quietly in front of a Spurs fan but there is a competition called the Champions

League (like the UEFA Cup, only with proper clubs, Patrick) and somehow we’ve

managed to host those matches at the Emirates this season. Oh, and as for him

not being able to wait to “stuff those fools” last Wednesday night,

I’d say the sight of our kids outplaying the Tottenham first team left him

feeling as sick as a plate full of dodgy Spurs lasagne!

OUR SHOUT: I suppose a groundshare is out of the

question, then?
