So, after a calamitous morning of launch day madness, I bring to you… the Le Grove range.
I’ve been working closely with a t-shirt design company called TattyNutNut and they’ve pulled out all the stops to bring you some pretty special looking t-shirts.
CLICK THE IMAGE OF THE SHIRT YOU LIKE TO TAKE YOU TO THE TATTY SITE FOR PURCHASE
Do it for Rambo!
We thought the above design would be a nice touch an hopefully a memento of our first league title in 6 years.
Le Grove
This is our basic design. We wanted to create something subtle that was stylish and combined your love for the club and your affiliation to the site.
Marmite
After sifting through the sites comments, it was clear the most talked about topic on Le Grove and the blogosphere were the merits of the 4 players above. The term ‘Marmites’ was coined by the site and entered into the Gooner Glossary. I asked Tatty to mock up a shirt in celebration of the players! I think, like your kids, they may irritate you, but at the end of the day, they’re all gooners and deep down, you know you love them!
The Verminator
This shirt doesn’t need much explaining. I asked for a design to represent the character of Vermaelen and I think I’ve got it! A leader, blood, guts and thunder… a power house of a man… future Gunners legend!
So, now to the boring stuff. All the shirts will be printed up on American Apparel cotton t-shirts. If you’ve never heard of the brand, trust me, they are the best on the market. Their fit is quite standard, but figure hugging, so err on the side of caution if you like your T’s to hang a bit!
The printing company that we’re using are tried and tested, so the shirts have lastability. The shirts will out wear most high street brands you’d buy and will certainly dwarf the quality of other Arsenal t-shirt on the market.
All cost £15.99 and the postage varies depending on where you are in the world, but it shouldn’t be more than a fiver! I will have the stock in by next week, so we will have the first orders out by next Thursday.
Anyway, that’s me done. I hope you like them and I hope you purchase one!
Your support will be appreciated!
So, where were we? Ah, Theo…
E12 GUNNER,
I don’t think so we will be happy to see Clichy leave. He looks like getting back to his best.
You reckon sol is playing better now than when he was with us prior to his breakdown?! Or even when he was at Pompey before his final season?!
Different players have different rates of development, but generally they improve until they peak, then go downhill afterwards
Lee Dixon was still playing for us when he was 132 years old.
“It was reported that Arsenal offered Emmanuel Eboue to Fiorentina as part of the deal to bring Melo to the Emirates last year, but that will not be an option this summer as Eboue is out of contract, but Juventus are willing to accept Robin Van Persie, Bacary Sagna or Gael Clichy as part of the deal.”
Eboue is out of contract?!
Ahhh the le grove clothing range
strikers expire early MOST TIMES age-wise A . if you can generalize , so can i …
defenders and goal keepers seem to be like a fine wine … get better with age …
were as strikers are beer and spirits !
do the damage but dont last long .
sure thats also generalizing and wouldn’t take into consideration the long careers of van nestle roy , Th14 etc .. and also generalizing but fairly accurate is the statement that past 28-32 as a striker you probably wouldn’t play a full 90 minutes …
i think i have high-lighted the lunacy of wengers over 30′s policies ..
Ethan – How have you highlighted it ? Heh.
ethan you just used Anelka and Saha as examples of strikers not peaking early?!
lol the only lunacy you’ve EVER highlighted is your own ethan
Didn’t Saha get injured again, over the week-end ?!

back to his best.

You reckon sol is playing better now than when he was with us prior to his breakdown?!
————————–
well speed is an issue , but you dont need that to still be a top defender .. but he still isnt slow for 35 , in fact for 35 he’s probably quicker than most still ..
but composure- wise , i dont think he’s lost that much ,
it just shows you by wenger getting rid of him
to begin with only was detrimental to the team .
i think id rather of persisted with sol than toure ..
sure its hindsight .. but senderos and jd experiments .. and song experiments also ..
it would of been far better just to keep sol ..
???
or would that have been to easy
ethan – wenger didn’t get rid of sol, sol had a breakdown, and wasn’t capable of playing anymore, so wenger let him leave.
Wenger didn’t choose to get rid of Sol, Sol made the decision
March 4, 2010 at 18:25
ethan you just used Anelka and Saha as examples of strikers not peaking early?!
————————
what you dip shit ?
i never said that . i said they peaked a differing times
anleka was 27 when he hit bolton .. and form ..
saha closer to 30 !
and as you no doubt are sort of vomiting wengers over 30′s rule .. we would have gotten rid of saha prior to him even turning good .
and how can you say RVP is getting better ?
better at what ? visits to the sick bay ?
A your delsional !
and keyser well your just a twat
A
In terms of a fitness curve, the young player will improve with every season, and the old player will get worse with every season….
Regardless of their “injury proneness”.
SO DENILSON IS BETTER THAN LAST SEASON ?
Ethangunner – Stop being soo hormonal, that’s what your response is, I’m a twat, what are you 8 ?!
Saha peaked about 6 years ago ffs.
there you go keystone .. ABOVE !
hopefully you have the brains to work it out ,that makes A’s statement total bollocks! before you even begin ! !
denilson is just as weak.. if not weaker than last season .. SO IS THEO !
if you hadnt noticed they are OLDER than last season
no im not 8
but you are a twat
No sol, dam.
Thought Diaby would be back by now.
silvestre/Denilson just the thought of those 2 makes my stomach turn.
Ethangunner – Heh, oooh another classic putdown.
So what if they’re older, they’ll have all the stats and fitness tests from all of those players, they’ll have Gallas’s and Campbell’s over the years and there’ll make a judgement call, I seriously doubt they make the decision based simply on a guide rule.
Exactly that… why make all the decisions based on fitness tests?
You need experience when it matters.
Fergie hasn’t kicked out scholes or giggs, and I am sure they are physically not what they used to be.
Take all the tests, you can’t still measure desire and commitment and intelligence on the pitch.
kee
I seriously doubt they make the decision based simply on a guide rule.
—————–
no shit shirlock !
im not the one GENERALIZING that all players MUST get better with age ..
thats your bum buddy A

—————————–
remember
yes EVERY young player MUST improve !!
so why do we sell so many then
????
choy – You think all the decisions are based on fitness tests ? You look at everyone individually, how they’re performing and how you think they will perform.
I bet Bergkamp’s as committed, has as much desire and is probably more intelligent than most, we might as well bring him back.
All those players people talk of that we could have kept, but decided to leave, do you really think it was that simple ? That we should have just gone all out to keep them ?! How many players can you do that with ?!
We’re really just talking about gallas at this point of time keyser.. and I think we should offer him a 4 year contract!
Lol at the bergkamp case in point!
Ethangunner – Stop being such a dopey cunt, looking for silly fights, honestly how old are you ?!
If you want some compeition and someone to pick a fight with, just go out on the street and just say the same things to someone there.
In general, once you hit a certain age, you will begin to decline, if you’ve suffered injuries early in your career you’re more likely to get past them than someone that has been on the decline.
Thats just simple logic, you look at as much information as you can find and you make the decision then, and you offer then something fair, how hard is that for you to fucking understand ?!
What is it ? Do you want a bum buddy ? Is that what you’re looking for ? Do you want friends ? what ? Mate again, go out on the street and just ask people.

well keyser you shouldnt be so quick to blindly go into bat for your bum chum ..
in fact im sure you and A are in the same room anyhoo !
hell your probably the same person
in the same room 
just the different schizophrenic half
its total bollocks to make ludicrous broad based statements like that ! all young players get better every season ,by definition ..
tell that to rambo , im sure your stats will be a comfort to the poor fucker next season A
but dont fear, unlike some …im sure wenger uses his brain prior to measuring the value of the his over 30 rule ..
(gallas’s previous 2 year deal AND over 30! )
even as ludicrous as it might seem 2 u keyser .
Ethan just because they’ll all improve doesn’t mean they’re going to improve to be good enough for us….
All the young players we’ve sold have improved….
Most people get better at most things the more they do them, it isn’t rocket science….
Unless players have serious attitude problems, or serious injuries, they almost always get better with age until they’ve peaked, then once they’ve physically peaked, and start to lose pace/strength/athleticism/reflexes, they get worse, until they retire.
What about pleb? reyes?
flamini?
Choy – He’s 32/33 ? It just makes little sense, unless you’ve got money to burn, yes blah blah blah me might have money, but not to burn.
Gallas has been good, but he’s nowhere near as dominant as he was when he used to make Terry look good, and I seriously doubt we can say 4 years down the line he’ll be as good.
Especially when you consider the biggest asset he needs playing for a team like us is his recovery pace and sprinting ability.
2 years is plenty, and hopefully we buy his successor in the summer.
what about them choy?
ethangunner – What is it with you and your anus ? If your heads not up it, you’re talking out of it, I didn’t go blindly to bat for him, just fucking tired of you coming on here to pick on people like the blog gimp.
If you’re talking shit, or abusing people, you’re asking for pats on your back for some mind numbingly tedious shit you’ve said in the past.
Gte yourself a dog or something or a friend. Talk it out, get a hobby, stop being such a miserable cunt.

every player must get better as they get older ..
yes it worked for senderos didnt it ?!
more like how old r u ?
i can see you constantly rally around and defending A .like 2 twisted sick AKB’s in a pod .
sickening really ..
(pssst… ‘A’, back me up on our next stupid topic … its keyser
)
what are you using IRC
?
Keyser don’t go down to his level.
I took to ignoring him for a while, but get suckered in when certain things are said, back to ignoring him now, there’s no point. I’ve got no idea why the juvenile abusiveness isn’t moderated either, as far as I know he’s never been banned, yet he’s been more abusive to others than anyone else I’ve seen on here by some distance!
this
ethangunner – Honestly, get a grip, everyone’s ganging up on you, everyone’s out to get you, people are conspiring against you, you’re a paranoid delusional.
The thing me and A have in common is probably that we both think you talk shit, and thats it really, I’m surprised Franchise hasn’t called you up on it.
It’s a blog, I have nothing against you, however much you’d like that you sick perv, why can’t you blog without being abusive to others ?!

ethangunner – What is it with you and your anus ?
—————————————
ive never had any problems with it ..
if you want to start talking about my ass then i think you have the wrong blog ..
this is an ARSEnal site ..
i can see how you got confused
Ah ok choy, Reyes had serious personal problems which buggered up his career, and it’s only now he’s getting back to a decent level.
Flamini had attributes that did a fantastic job for us in the perfect system for him. IMO he’s no worse, but was just never a top quality player in his own right, just very useful in the right system, as he would be now.
2 Club level going for Burnley
nevermind A..
fabregas song flamini would be solid in the defensive side of the game, but diaby offers much more going forward and size.
i’d take diaby over flamini
Ethan whats with the name calling mate…disagree by all means but save the venom for the thai hookers
keyser
the only delusional on here is you and A !
dudu will be top scorer this season ..
man U will finish out of the top 4 !
fuck i think you have the wrong person pegged for talking shit !
we arent interested in chamakh ! the media are just making it up ! delusional Ethan ! …
so keyser if you think im having so much trouble understanding A’s statement of
players must get better as they get older , what happened to senderos , or denilson ? big AL ? who is still young by keeper standards ?!
total fucking bollocks and you know it ..
and im not trying to prove some mute point !
this is A’s topic .. not mine ..
and yes thats funny because i think both of you talk total shit too !
its laughable !
Yeah agreed Gooby, though Flamini wouldn’t be a bad squad player for that role
Who the hell said ManU will finish outside the top 4?
yes A,
he would be a great squad player for big matches where we need a hard worker.
denilson should have been the one to go
Ethan – It’s a general point, do players get better as they get older ? Until they peak, where they’ll start to decline ?!
Are you disagreeing with that ? Has Denilson got better as he’s got older ?!
Choy – I dunno, but how many people said United were a lot weaker than last year ? and they wouldn’t have as good a season ?!
Well they were supposed to be weaker
baxter …
venom is something that is fired 1st right ?
before you take a pop at me i wasnt talking to that twat keyser prior to this …
Keyser Says:

ethangunner – What is it with you and your anus ?
, and i was calling keyser a twat because he was acting like A’s bitch
they are ‘tag team AKB’ …
and factor in stupid ass statements like all players get better as they get older .. yeah right
DUDU is better , rosicky is better !
big AL is far better this year …
theo is having his best year ever !
so is JD ! sagna is having his best year !
even nasri is far better than his 1st
but then some stupid cunt wants to know what proof ?!
yes i suppose what im saying is it gets a bit … testing !
dealing with dribbling idiots …
I did jokingly choy, think I had them 6th or 7th in my league prediction.
Yeah Gooby, nice sub to bring on too. Still, should be able to get better players than him to be in the squad.
pulis still going about arsenal on sky, give it a rest u prick, your player hurt ours remember

united are an experienced side(3 times PL winners in a row) they can’t collapse in one season, and rooney is having a good one, the lucky girl.
if they don’t ajust things they will start their decline from next season. ronaldo’s loss was a big one for them
Silvest!
But I think he should be ok against burnley!
Pulis is just using the media to his advantage now, break a leg Shawcross and you’ll be a bigger player than you ever dreamed you could be.
Stoke probably ain’t going to keep hold of him, might aswell exploit all the publicity.
Gooby – It’s not about a collapse, people honestly looked at Chelsea and Liverpool and thought they’d build on their season’s same with Citeh who looked pretty good at the start of the year.
yes but i think that united are still competing because they have players who know each other for a long time and got some winning attitude(let’s not kid ourselfs)
i do expect them to drop next lower in the league next season with the same squad.
we are going to win the league so that does not matter anyhow
Bollocks.. Fergie will probably bring in a top class striker and they will be battling it out right at the top as usual!
choy
i said IF they keep the same squad
Gooby Utd are competing because they’ve been incredibly lucky in having Rooney fit all season! If Rooney had gotten injured they would’ve been totally and utterly buggered!
Guys which of teams would you pick?
Or what combination?
of course A, rooney plays a big big part. the twat is never getting injured this year.
it would be sweet if he misses april with a littke injury
Ja_gunner
the second for me
Ja I fancy
Almunia
Eboue Vermy Silvestre Traore
Cesc Denilson Merida
Nasri Bendtner Eduardo
Though I keep changing my mind! Maybe Theo rather than Eduardo, and him swapping with Nasri
Now is not the time to be tinkering.
If they cant play every game from now til the end of the season without getting “tired” then they shouldnt be playing for us on £40k+ per week.
Almunia
Eboue Campbell Vermaelen Clichy
Denilson Cesc Diaby
Nasri Bendtner Arshavin
Burnley at home gambon, it’s statistically the easiest game you can play in the prem. Porto is the biggun, then Hull away, but Sat should be a gimme, so I’d rest as many players without getting silly as possible.
yes all player get better as they get older !
so what happened to Ade ?
or senderos !
i think with our team and its current plight
saying all players only get better as they get older is so recklessly delusional it isnt funny ..
yes all our juniors over the past 5 years got better so much,so did we keep them ????
NO we sold them all !!
A
Get 3 up then rest the ones who need it.
bitchslap got better with age too
absolute stupid statement…. then you bitch at me you pikey gimps ..
hahaha !
We shouldn’t need a full team to get 3 up against Burnley at home though gambon!
Arshavin and Diaby I’d definitely rest rather than risk, along with anyone tired from international duty, then get 3 up and take off Cesc, Bendtner, and Eboue
Ethan not having a pop mate, just as Pedro would say “blog of love” buddy.
folks need to keep it civil. If someone is on the wind up, its best to ignore each other.
I’d be tempted to go with Eastmond in the centre with Fab and Denilson.
Rosicky, Eddie and Nik B up top.
How the hell is a back problem affecting Gallas’s calf?
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/04032010/58/footballer-jailed-horror-tackle.html
Shawcross are you watching they’re coming for you
Playing with Denilshite and Almunia is like playing 9 against 13.
Jaguar do you write a lot of reviews on youtube buddy?
Rumour is that Sol has a groin strain and is out for Burnley.
With Song suspended, WG and JD injured, it only leaves Silvestre as CB
Unless Wenger decides to try Arshavin
I wouldn’t be against that midfield HB, though I’d rather Rosicky got a rest to start on Tuesday.
Raddy that’s fine, just have Silvestre and Vermy as against Sunderland!
No Baxter.Why mate?
It’s ok everyone.. I’ll play at centre half, crisis over.
Diaby will get pitch time if fit.
Denilshite,Clownmunia and Shitvestre.Anything over a -1-0 victory would be a huge surprise.
A yeah good point, but perhaps we could get ahead and rest Rosicky after that. I feel he is coming back to full fitness so i think he can take it. I just don’t wanna see one of those games where we just can’t find any penetration, and obviously Rosicky helps massively in those situations.
Am begining to see most of us get complacent and i kinda imagine it must be transmitted to the players. Well, I have bad news for you, if we do not work hard at home and away, we could loose or draw against Burnley which will be bad for our run-in. Let our troops be ready for war!
I wouldn’t wanna risk Diaby getting injured as i feel we will really need him for Porto
We need to play as strong a team as possible.
We cannot afford any slip ups from now on, and Northern Monkeys like Burnley have often caused us problems at home (Hull, Stoke ect). Even a shite team like Sunderland gave us problems, and had it not been for the pisspoor finishing of Kenwyne Jones, we could have drawn that game
Confidentgoner. I agree with you really, we can’t just assume the win against Burnley, but obviously we need to balance that with fielding a strong team against Porto.
We have Eboue, we will win.
Cause they usually manage to hit that causing maximum offence without actually adding anything vibe that most of your posts have!
Yeah true HB, but we’re playing a team who’s managed one point on the road this season, and conceded 43 goals. If we don’t have any penetration without Rosicky at home against Burnley then we should give up right now!
HB. The league is most important ATM.
Diaby should be able to play 60 mins on Saturday and be fit enough for Weds
agree with Raddy,
At this point in the season you need to be ready to go to war every 3 days, not tinkering & rotating.
Lets just go into each game as strong as possible.
Hi Choy. Some oldtimers here…
Though I guess there could be an argument that if the title comes down to goal difference, the biggest gimme game in the league should be an opportunity we should take to give ours a boost.
And goal difference could be vital come seasons end
A yeah i take your point, but you know how we can be, but as Big Raddy has said, the league is important. I’d prefer to see the Burnley game won, Perhaps then if we are well ahead we can rest players like Rosicky, I just feel that every three points are just as important and the ones against Burnley will be no different
Great minds A
diaby would boss the midfield against porto. let’s play eastmond or nasri with denilson
Yeah A
The thing is, if you look at all the possible outcomes id say theres a huge chance it could come to goal diference!
Raddy I disagree, I’d absolutely not risk Diaby against Burnley. Wouldn’t risk Arshavin either. We want as fresh a team as possible for Porto, and Burnley home is comfortably the easiest game that any team can play in the league, they’re just useless away from home.
If we had enough fit players I’d rest our entire first team but as it is we’ll need most of them to play unfortunately.
Yeah i hadn’t even thought of that. The more goals against Burnley, the better
In the case of players returning from injury id say fresh = rusty.
I think a Diaby with 60 mins under his belt is better than a rested Diaby.
OK A. We can disagree.
I would play my strongest team always. I don’t believe that our players cannot play twice a week, especially as we are at home for both fixtures.
We cannot go into games fearful of injury. I cannot recall TH14 resting before a CL game, so why Diaby?
Fair point Gambon, but i’d prefer to see him play maybe 20 mins of an already won game, than to over-exert himself from the off.
I don’t gambon – Diaby has a habit of having screamers the game after returning from injury! If Diaby is only 50/50, then whatever happens he won’t have been training fully, so there would be an element of risk, I really wouldn’t have him anywhere near the pitch!
As goal difference is important, maybe bring on Arshavin and Theo after an hour, when we’re already a few ahead, and they’re tired, and tell them to really go for the jugular!
Shame Lansbury is away. Would be a good game for him to start
If we want to maximise our goal difference Theo is the last person we need!
Night All.
Thanks for the chat
Raddy I’m sure our players CAN play twice a week, but they will be fresher, and a tiny bit sharper on tuesday, if they’re rested. Same goes for Hull next weekend, it’d be three games in a week, and Hull away is no gimme, we’ll need a very strong team out for that game. Factor in the chance of extra time on Tuesday as well, even though I’d really hope it wouldn’t come to that.
Diaby is only 50/50 for Burnley, isn’t a case of resting him, it’s a case of not risking him in a game that should be a gimme, with a big game coming up.
Night Raddy, and I agree, I’d start lansbury if he was here!
gambon a tiring team at home?! Theo in tandem with Arshavin would destroy them on the break, as they did against Blackburn
I might just have a cheeky punt on us doing the double
Easy on there now Honest Bill! Don,t get carried away!
Have you been on the medication long?
Imagine if that did happen HB! I’m very pessimistic about the champs league, but the league is certainly there for the taking, unless we have a real dip in form or utd or chelsea have some sort of miracle period
imagine theo got fabregas’s footballing brain and passing!
nite all i m going to dream about this!
Lol
A you realise Chelsea are 3 points ahead of us? They certainly dont need a ‘miracle period’ to win the league!
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/04032010/58/footballer-jailed-horror-tackle.html
We could sue Showcross actually.
Gooby
I would settle for Wiltords brain.
Parlour was better than Walcott.
I can believe in the league… but I can’t believe in the Champions league.
If that happens… I’m retiring… from work, not blogging.
gambon if things go in the rest of the season as they have thus far, then we’d win the league at a canter, all we need is for things to stay the same in terms of form up to this point, and the league is ours….
It’s only 3 points, despite us dropping 12 points against utd and chelsea.
chelsea have won just two games away from home since they beat us in November, and they have to play Blackburn, Utd, Spuds, Liverpool away from home over the rest of the season.
With the fixtures left, we SHOULD end up 3 points better off than chelsea….
Ritesh, too right. When it’s sunday league it has the added malice that you are aware you are more than likely putting someone out of work for 6months.
I get the raving when people on my team do it… it’s no unnecessary.
Ali Dia was as good as Walcott!
A… 3points… a canter?
actually, it might happen Pedro. The team is terrific if NB gets his form back and we have an in form Nasri on the right wing.
Others players are automatic choices and actually awesome.
Chris Waddle is retarded too regarding Theo. Theo HAS a very good footballing brain, that’s the only reason he’s at our club! He has good movement off the ball, it’s just that his execution is terrible, not his brain. He doesn’t have tricks on the ball, and doesn’t have any composure, but off the ball he’s very good, and makes very good runs. When he gets into good positions he makes the right decisions too, but executes it badly, like with his trying to whip the ball in hard with the inside of his foot, but lacing it off the pitch. It isn’t the decision making or footballing train, it’s the execution
Eh a bit late but.. Hope alls well Raddy!
Ritesh, I don’t think we’ve got the defence to keep out the very best.
Ali Baba is better than walcott!!
Waddle himself got his first cap at the age of 24.. what a mug.
I like the ANR article… he goes on holiday and finds a mate who writes something just as crazy!
Whichever way you manipulate it A after 28 games we are 3 behind Chelsea, which makes it hard to say we will walk the league.
I think we have as good a chance as Chelsea, and I think UTD have a very good chance as well. I would give each team an equal chance.
Well if things go to form Pedro Chelsea should drop points in all those four away games, so that’s 8 points dropped for them!
A
Well if things go to form we will draw 1-1 with Burnley.
Ali G is better than Walcott!
A.. chelsea will in all likelihood drop points.. not 8 though… but we will too !
manipulate it gambon?!
chelsea are 3 points ahead of us, despite being 6 points up on the games between us.
Therefore we’re 3 points better than them in the remaining games.
Sorted
Shawcross is a dirty cunt, but he is pretty good.
We are far from perfect defensively…but so were Barca last year.
I am relieved seeing Campbell. He plays like a true libero with TV or Gallas moving around him.
pretty good at what pedro?
A, optimistic springs to mind!
Gambon, pessimistic… come on… after winning first on this post as well…
Soccerball Choy… I liked him before the weekend.
no gambon, that isn’t true at all.
We’ve beaten all but 3 teams who have come to the Emirates this season, Chelsea, Utd, and Everton, all of whom are good teams. Apart from Liverpool EVERY home win has been by at least 2 goals.
Burnley have lost all but one of their away games this season, and conceded 43 goals in the process.
If things go to form we’ll absolutely smash Burnley
nite all 2.30 here
Pedro
Im not pessimistic at all, i think we have as good a chance as the other 2.
Just pointing out that there are different ways to view these things.
Night Ritesh.
Yeah, I must say… if Burnley put up a fight for 20 minutes, I’ll be shocked.
This season when up against any team in the bottom half of the table, we’ve not failed to win by at least two goals, and Burnley are the worst team away from home by some distance.
Everything points to a home win, and by some distance
A
But you’re saying the fact Chelsea havent won away recentley means they wont win away in the future.
Im saying the fact that Burnley held us before means they will hold us again, which is the same argument as yours.
Obviously we will beat Burnley, but i just think you were trying to manipulate reasoning to suit an optimistic argument.
Ali Bongo is more of a magician than walcott!!
