Thoughts on Arsenal vs. Plymouth
Gunnerblog (subscribe) | 04/01/2009 | Football
Arsenal 3 - 1 Plymouth (Van Persie 47, 84, Gray 49 (og) Duguid 52) Highlights here; Arsene’s reaction here A fairly routine win over Plymouth, and it’s a trickier looking tie away to last year’s finalists Cardiff in the next round. I have to say, it was a rare delight to see an Arsenal side who were comfortably [...] -

Is There a Right Wing Extremist Under Your Bed?

This is a Google Ad being run on right of centre websites and blogs by the Metropolitan Police. I wonder if they are also running ones headed LEFT WING EXTREMIST... or perhaps MUSLIM ETREMIST ... or perhaps COMMUNIST SYYMPATHISER? I doubt it, because the left would be up in arms.

The campaigners also note that the Chur... - see all discussions
