Goooood morning Grovers! I went to the AST Christmas party last night, so my body is in regretful mood. The event was hosted in the WM club. I remember going to the opening of that and powering through the complimentary booze with Geoff. Thems were the days…
Last night the booze wasn’t complimentary, but access to the commercial team was. Ivan Gazidis, Mark Gonnella and Charles Allen mingled with the fans, answered questions and showed off their break dancing moves.
There was also the football. Gael Clichy was feeling festive and gifted us another year of holding onto that unbeaten record. His two bookings contributed to City’s first defeat of the season. Have that money and wealth… The team with integrity and honesty showed the way.
Good news is they’re without a first choice left back for Sunday as well. We also have that issue. Wenger’s worst decision of the season so far was to take our only fit left back to Greece and play him in a meaningless match. The Brazilian might not be an incredible defender but what he’s brought to the team offensively should not be underestimated. A massive loss.
Back to the party. I spoke to Charles Allen for a large chunk of the evening. He said the Emirates Cup wasn’t taking place next summer so it was true that we’re looking to go to Lagos for our next tour. A great move and a real tipped hat to the superb and totally crazy support the club have in Africa.
We also spoke about the statues. There are more coming. The first three were chosen for universal appeal, but others will follow. I have a feeling Dennis is next. That’s a bit like having a hunch Robin will play on Sunday, but it will be interesting to know who else they have up their sleeve.
We had a chat about success measurements. One of them for Charles was stadium fill. Real stadium fill. They want it full every game and they’re aware of the gaping holes around the ground. Arsenal are working on ticketing solutions that will make it easier for fans to sell their seats back to the club and they’re working on improving reporting systems to communicate fill. Ultimately, the dream would be for fans who are not going to opt out online and that ticket find its way back into the system, even if it’s heavily discounted. I think tech has to catch up first, but it can’t be far off.
I was introduced to Ivan, we shot the breeze about my trip to the Playboy Club, he asked who my favourite waitress was… Just kidding, he opened with, ‘You hate me’… Come on… That’s not true. I don’t hate anyone, bar the people who pull the emergency ripcord on the tube in the morning because they have a headache (3 days in a row on the central line, give it a rest people).
I didn’t really get much from the CEO, he’s a slick operator on and off the record. He spoke about how they were trying to open up the club to the fans and do more Gooner type things over the next few years. I asked whether he was going to spend some money in Jan and said I had some great Youtube videos to share if he needed ideas. He said they had some plans but it was hard to do business in January. Ok… I’ll take that as a positive. He definitely gave me the, ‘trust me Pedro, I love spending cash’ look.
That said, rumour has it Gotze is crocked again. Hello Diaby MKII! He’s torn something and could be out for the season. Jan Vertoghen is also sparking interest again, he’s one of the players we need to buy so I don’t have to keep writing his name. We need a left back, he can play there. Let’s snap him up before someone else in England does!
The evening was great success and a huge credit to the club. Not many other clubs in the elite of world football would give their fans uncensored access to the people running the show. It’s a real sign of class and a testament to them understanding that transparency is the only way to function when you have the privilege of running such a great institution. They do care about what the fans think and they do monitor what people say online, so keep it up people, your voices do matter.
The evening spilled out into the Metro, I had the chance to meet some new faces and some old. Regardless of people’s opinions on the club, it’s nice that when everyone is sitting round a table having a beer, all that matters is Arsenal and what’s best for the club. If you haven’t joined the AST, you should seriously consider it. The value I’ve had out of that membership this year has been amazing… and at the very least, it’s a great excuse for a Monday night booze up!
Right, that’s me done! See you in the comments…
Azed,
It’s the quality mate. If you can find Arsene flops like Denilson, he’ll be more than happy to buy….
Now seriously Arsene, are you a blind deaf-and-bump? Don’t you think we need to buy? We only have a full squad of lengthy injured key-players, a collective exodus to the ACN (which we pray won’t result further medical facilities residents), and a bunch of useless dross, that only occupies a squad number…..
Kaps,
Reckon red nose will be buying massively regardless. Unlike Arsene, he spends even when he doesn’t have the money ….
Great stuff Pedro.
A tour to Africa is long overdue in my opinion, considering the amazing support we have in that part of the world.
The Emirates Cup is a bit of a non event anyway. I enjoyed going to the Makita Tournament as a youngster, but we weren’t playing top European sides every year, like we do now. Tickets for the Champions League group stage aren’t that hard to get either.
flecther is proper fucked boys!
a bloke at works mate had the same thing… had his whole large intestine removed!!
“you hate me”
haha, was Ivan wearing a rubber Nasri facemask? – 20 teeth bunched into the space 5 would ordinarily occupy and 3 superfluous chins??
love this benzema to arsenal rumor. much like the rvp to madrid rumor, it is never going to happen.
rumor that madrid has bid large for rvp. would taking the 74m+ on offer for rvp be worthwhile if say benzema, podolski, and gotze all came in?
i think the galvanizing effect rvp has had as captain could not be replaced by the makeweight of money and players.
Is there any money in Africa?
gambon-
blood diamonds.
hard to believe Podolski is still 26. He’s been about forever it seems.
Im expecting to get emails saying:
Dear Gambon,
I am a famous footballer called Marouane Chamakh. You may know that I play for Arsenal.
I am currently in Lagos, and you may have heard that my team mates and club left me behind as they think i’m shit. I am currently stranded here. I am very wealthy but have no access to this money until I am back in the UK.
If you send me £5000 via bank transfer I will give you £300k when I am back in the UK.
Please email me details of the transfer to banjocowsarse@hotmail.co.uk
—————————————————-
The only thing it could be genuine.
Gambon,
I thought you missed sending the gel too ….
love to see a tour of Brazil.
Lurch
Scheduling would be an issue. The South Americans have 2 championships a year.
Speaking of which, I didn’t read the excellent Tim Vickery blog this week. Thx for the reminder.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg
nigeria would be fantastic. Fake shirt supply would go into overdrive!
…………..from Tim Vickery………
Barcelona, meanwhile, have been in competitive action right up to Saturday night. Compared with the trip to Real Madrid, this tournament in Japan is almost an afterthought. For Santos it has been in every thought.
The other factor that may level the playing field is the fact that Barcelona do not have a monopoly on outstanding individual talent.
Neymar of Santos is undeniably something special, and though injury hit and the recipient of dangerously early hype, playmaker Paulo Henrique Ganso is a wonderful prospect.
Should both sides make the final it will be fascinating to see how the Santos pair cope with the high- pressure marking of Barcelona.
The prospect of a great game lies in the view that Santos can do more than hold on for grim death and seek to snatch a win with a single counter attack.
If Ganso can pass into space behind the Barcelona line, or if Neymar can cut through it with one of his dribbles then things could be very interesting.
And there is another area where Santos will look to cause damage. If coach Muricy Ramalho has cause to regret the injury suffered by specialist midfield marker Adriano, he can celebrate the return to fitness of Elano.
From the ‘if you want to see a spectacle then go the theatre’ school of coaches, Ramalho has built a reputation producing teams that are more efficient than eye-catching.
He won three consecutive Brazilian titles with Sao Paulo, whose captain and goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni recalls that “he never wanted to take risks.
He set up a strong system of marking, he liked to have a tall team and he paid a lot of attention to set pieces.”
Elano is his best striker of corners and free kicks. Without much height in their team, Barcelona could be vulnerable to his delivery.
Every time Neymar goes to ground within range of goal Muricy Ramalho will be licking his lips and dreaming of glory.
cheers Zeus,
shame, a tour of Brazil would put plenty of bums on seats, be they virtual or actual and with our relationship hosting the national side for their friendlies we already have a good bond.
They as a country, are industrialising on a scale comparable to India – so i’m told.
Injury prone gibbs out, santo sout long term, sagna out long term,Wilshere out until feb, jenkinson out long term?, gervinho of to african nations, chamakh of to african nations, arshavin cant pass 2 yards without giving the ball awaya, korean striker that dosnt even get on the bench, both 2nd and 3d choice keepers out. If for any reason TV5 was to get injured again or RVP, which with their records is likely, we are then trully trully fucked at the band upfront. If wenger dosnt buy anyone in january to cover these gaping holes, then he must resign. yes resign.
His 57 years with us paid witness to the view that football and life are not just about what you do – the way you do it is at least as important.—
Vickery on Socrates….
Kush
That was an excellent article on the man from Vickery as well.
He is easily the top weekly sports blogger about next to bobby mcmahon.
In terms of growth Brazil is a powerhouse, but stalled recently.
Its ahead of all other G20 countries.
Tim on Wilshere……..
Before Arsenal’s massacre of Braga, the last time I was at a Champions League game was when the tournament was still called the European Cup.
Every time I go to a game in South America, I’m always hopeful of spotting some outstanding new talent, a youngster taking his first steps on the way to glory. To my surprise, the Emirates gives me this as well.
With his passing, forward movement and combination play, teenage midfielder Jack Wilshere makes a huge impression. Not since the emergence of Ever Banega in 2007 have I laid eyes on such a teenage central midfielder of such promise.
Wilshere benefits from something we cannot claim in South America – the chance to watch and learn from a master who is entering his peak years.
…….(He goes on to talk up Fabregas from here. Won’t post. It still hurts)
Goetze is going to miss only TWO games NOT THE WHOLE SEASON. He’s hardly missed a game in the last 2 years. How can you call him Diaby MKII ?
and whats the quality of opposition likely to be in Lagos?,
I’m slightly concerned on an injury front – isn’t the African game more reckless or is that stereotypical blinkered western view?
exactly Gambon, we should be coining it down there – make it happen Ivan, sure we can squeeze something in – even if its league 2 equivalent opponents.
When I watch the ACN I cant help but thinking its like watching a load of eadless chickens, all running after the ball.
I could definitely face going out to Rio and drinking Caipirinhas for a weekend!
haha, bring the scorn!
You might think the same about most of the European league then Gambon, they’re all full of Africans
haha Darren Fletcher crocked till seasons end.
*leagues
Red nose will add 2 or 3 then Lurch….

kushagra
brian glanville is good but he used to regurgitate his stories again and again that I eventually gave up reading it
However, more domestic saving is likely needed in India despite the falling of its consumption share (right graph) over the same 10-year period. India gets a bigger bang for each investment buck spent, so save more and supplement the inward FDI.
In stark contrast is Brazil, an economy that is clearly saving at a much lower rate than its peers. The consumption is a large 63.1% of GDP, essentially unchanged over the latest decade. And for a developing economy, the investment share is remarkably low in levels, 16.4% of GDP in 2008 (compared to India’s 32.2% share).
In all, the saving and investment story adds up to a level of productive capital stock. Without investment, there is no capital stock growth. And without capital stock growth, there is little productive GDP growth.
lurch
nothing funny about ulcerative colitis …i am guessing his career is probably over..
http://www.scribd.com/doc/23869385/India-vs-Brazil#outer_page_5
you’re a bit boring aren’t you Fab’s, for sake of mental health its probably best you ignore my posts.
fabindiangooner…yeah but he produces a gem once in a while..
Lurch
no just showing off my knowledge my degree gives..i am supposed to be a bit sympathetic in such mattersn
Lurch doc from bbc on Bhopal..

Fabs,
don’t think we need a medical background to imagine the discomfort a series of inflamed and pustulating sores within our sphincters would cause.
fact remains Fletcher is a significant fly in our ointment and while his condition is unfortunate there’s little in the anonymous closed network bloggers code that suggests I should give a fuck.
By all means your welcome to take offence, but I don’t construct the soundbite with that intention, its just for some fellow degenerates to have a laugh. If i want to offend you, I’ll be a little more direct.
lurch
not offended at all…i get your point
Ont thing I’ll say today is that IF we win this weekend we will certainly not buy anyone in January…
So if you want Jan signings you should root for a mauling.. which of course none of us want to root for…
Ahhh – the quandry
For my money I’d try and buy Podolski and maybe get a left-back on loan from someone in Italy (they know their defense)
lurch-
well done for not biting on that one. clearly, fabs wanted you to ask which subject his degree was in…
thats more information than I can digest right now Kush,
can you break it down to a couple of sentences?
herkules-
i would not wager any money on that. i think something will transpire.
Is Jenkinson back for the weekend?
He’s supposed to be back sometime know isn’t he?
His return will not only be a nice opportunity to stake a claim but also will ease some pressure off Koscielny and Djourou. I am pretty sure Wenger recognized that our lack of potent threat against Everton was because we were attacking with fewer numbers given the two fullbacks reluctance to get forward.
Wenger may buy a striker in January…All common sense points to Podolski, versatile, would cost in the region of 10 – 15m Euros.
I fear for playing our best CB across the field at the same time (excluding JD) I’d take a punt on Coquelin at right back, Miquel at left back (There has to be a very good youngster that can play primarily as a leftback in the reserves, no?) Koscielny and Vermaelen are faster and can handle Silva and Aguero. Kos does well against better skilled strikers.
Lurch you should definitely give a fuck about Fletcher’s injuries, SAF is going to make every last penny available to him count in the next 2 windows. The more injuries he gets to the old guard(Vidic, Rio, Fletcher) the more he’ll go for our targets.
Wenger has had an easy ride while trying to sign youngsters because no other English club wants to invest in them If Fergie goes on the same route its bad news for us. I was hoping his original contingent last long enough for us to get the next batch of promising Britishers.
Guiseppe Rossi is worth a punt as well….like a fake Aguero
With the legend that is Santos out for three months (probably the season) and gibbs capable of 19 mins every 3 months then a move for someone like Aly Cissokho would make a lot of sense.He can play anywhere on the left side.
Sorry, he’s injured (Rossi) never mind
rossi is out for 6 months..
Agreed Mayank,
I suggested as much after they were evicted from the ECL, Goetze, Hazard, Modric, Sneijder, Hamsik, M’Vila will all, I expect be very much on his radar.
I doubt Gourcuff, Capoue & Martin will be though.
I’m not sure red nose will be in for a striker, with hernandez, and Sturridge in the wings.
dale-
rossi had his knee taken out, no? i think he is done for the season.
Kush, right now Brazil are killing us in the int’l market. The main difference is their gov’t is almost single minded in the pursuit for making Brazil a force in the market. They have more resources than us and simply put they are much braver in their investments than us.
didnt see your nxt post
your sense of humour is disgusting Frenchie, you’re a stain on humanity.
lurch-
you mean welbeck, right? sturridge plays for those chavs.
Mayank,
by ‘give a fuck’ I meant to imply that I don’t care if he’s in demonstrable pain – clearly I’m happy he’s crocked – he’s a destructive force on our game.
oh yeah.
Insert racist remark.
Wenger will buy in January if ‘opportunity turns up’. Haven’t we been here before every transfer window? This time he’d better not be talking the perverbial cos he may just have anarchy on his hands.
i wipe my ass with humanity, lurch. shakes head ruefully.
Yeah Lurch, though even if we get Hamsik, Martin/Gourcuff and M’Vila we’ll be miles ahead of Utd.
We’ve been lucky to get Vermi, Kos and Per in our defence one more signing like Vertoghen we’ll have the best defence in the EPL for playing a high line.
With JW, Ramsey, Arteta, Song and M’Vila our MF can give any MF in the world a game, while not being the most skilled.
Our attack with RvP, Gerv, Theo, AOC and Hamsik can easily be as good as City’s.
We just have to take a risk in the market for the first time since we made the stadium. I think it’s time we can.
CL draw in 2 days…i think we might get FC Basel…still my 6th sense isnt fully operational…
oh C`mon
guys wake up,wenger not gonna buy any big superstar…like M`villa etc
Sabeel
my 6th sense is saying leverkusen
my 6th sense isnt fully operational
________________________________
Haha, brilliant statement Sabeel.
i see fabindian….possible wont rule that out
As long as we avoid The Italian’s i’d be happy
haha mayank
heres the possible list
Napoli, CSKA Moscow, FC Basel, Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen, Zenit St Petersburg, AC Milan
almost every team except napoli is beatable…we had fabregas to beat milan,will it be ramsey doing a fabregas against milan…cant wait 4 dat
speaking of racists, that mug woodgate has been showing his intelligence again. spuds on par with city? fuck off.
I’d actually like to get Napoli. Two great European nights and two great matches. And maybe we can show City how its done. I still maintain our best chance of CL qualification is to win it.
Napoli is beatable..tough but beatable
really want to avoid the ruskis cos I think we will have the spuds btwn the 2 games
I like it Mayank,
Though I really can’t see him congesting the defence with quality like Vertonghen can you?
With the homegrown regs I recon he’d opt to keep JD and promote Miquel, Verm and Koz are demonstrating they can hold the fort out wide in exceptional circumstances.
That still leaves us in need of a striker, don’t think we can rely on Theo, Gerv and say Hamsik for those goals.
I guess it comes down to the commercial projections coming online and how fat we can afford our squad to be.
Fabind, We have Spurs after the CL matches.
Lurch on Bhopal ,Union Carbide(now Dow) insist that calamity caused by the leakage of lethal MIC was due to sabotage,while its clear that they compromised on safety measures for monetary benefits….
Now its former chairman Warren Anderson is a fugitive wanted by the courts for death by negligence…and more compensation..
he said that?!
haha, is on loan at stoke or is it permanent?
that said, spuds play a more watchable game at the moment going forward.
6th sense says Meelan.
Lurch chk dis out..
Settlement fund hoax
Bichlbaum as Finisterra on BBC World News
On December 3, 2004, the twentieth anniversary of the disaster, a man claiming to be a Dow representative named Jude Finisterra was interviewed on BBC World News. He claimed that the company had agreed to clean up the site and compensate those harmed in the incident, by liquidating Union Carbide for $12 billion USD.
Immediately afterward, Dow’s share price fell 4.2% in 23 minutes, for a loss of $2 billion in market value. Dow quickly issued a statement saying that they had no employee by that name—that he was an impostor, not affiliated with Dow, and that his claims were a hoax. The BBC broadcast a correction and an apology.[73]
“Jude Finisterra” was actually Andy Bichlbaum, a member of the activist prankster group The Yes Men. In 2002, The Yes Men issued a fake press release explaining why Dow refused to take responsibility for the disaster and started up a website, at “DowEthics.com”, designed to look like the real Dow website, but with what they felt was a more accurate cast on the events.
i think india wont be taking part in olympics….
“I still maintain our best chance of CL qualification is to win it.
”
Surely not!
====
I’d love Napoli. We have an excellent record against Italian teams. We’d be favorites against anyone we face.
I think if we manage to avoid Barca (prolly not going to happen), a semifinal is a realistic target.
@mayank think it will take place btw the 2 legs..
I’d drop JD against CIty and play Koscielny at RB and play Miquel at LB..
Silva will rip JD to pieces.
yup. he said that. the man has a very large cerebral cortex, which he does not use. supported by the evidence that he went to stoke on a free this summer.
lurch…my 6th sense 1st said meelan too…but i think since last 2 yrs we have FCB…this time when chance is there, we will get FCB again…FCbasel
rohan-
watch it, we proposed that back 4 yesterday. keyser did not approve.
If I’m honest Lurch I want to see Verm and Kos as our CB regulars. Per is a great influence and a great defender to have in your ranks but with those two in defence I think we can handle anyone in the world. I’m sure Jenks and Gibbs are good deputies for Santos and Sagna.
As for scoring goals a front 3 of RvP, AOC, Theo and Gerv is good enough, as long as we get an able deputy for RvP, say Podolski. I think a player like Gotze who can provide goals from MF is much more important. Or maybe get Cesc back after Barca goes bust.
Mayank…
dats why dey are more susceptible..

Mayank whats ur view on retail FDI…
Rohan, I know it’s a hard competition to win but you just need a good first team to win it. Like Pool proved.
For top four in the PL we need a good squad and right now Chelsea and Spurs have a better squad than us.
i still feel
kozzer-Mertsacker-Song-Verminator
becos
a) No JD….Yippee,as aguero plays a free role upfront
b) No inexperience of Miquel
c) Song is too slow for silva tricks/pace…arteta/couqelin can manage silva
on this note…Nite…
Definitely for it Kush. Helps everyone except the minority of already quite well off shopkeepers. Anything that helps farmers get even a few Rs. more is worth it.
haha, love that kind of stuff Kush – Its the latest form of contemporary Art.
A bit like Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook project… extorting the communities need for constant electronic connection.
Think I’ll be DJing a bit before kwik fit and Ivory take over.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6k6ky14x3Y
Mayank ditto..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUvUX8RkIfA
Mayank,
Theres plenty of opportunity to rotate CB’s for different opponents, there are occasions when Koz & Verm are appropriate (ECL, Mancs, Chavs, shitty,) and when Mert’s appropriate (Stoke, WBA, Fulham, Pool, etc…)
while I wouldn’t advocate too much rotation ordinarily, I think the quality of these guys is such they can handle it if our team is solid defensively.
Not sure I’d want Cesc back, blasphemous probably but I’m enjoying our new found directness and I think its the kind of game required to be able to compete against Barca for supremacy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkugOZhcjeM
we’ll compare notes in a few days Sabeel,
I just think someone at UEFA likes to make our lives hard…
Who else could Wenger play beside Santos? Martin Angha was expected to play, but withdrawn at the very last minute, when Pat Rice found out that Martin Angha fell two months short of playing for Arsenal, to be to meet champions league regulations. Only Santos was available to play. It’s just sad he got injured.

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2695221.ece
selfless?
No worries.
Was thinking of altruistic.
altruism?
being stupid?
altruistic?
Think you underrate Per, Mayank
He’s been very very very good for us. Model professional. I think our two best defenders are Koscielny and Per in terms of intelligence and ability. Vermaelen’s just a monster. It’s an interesting choice.
More importantly, as Tony Adams pointed out, he’s acting as RvP’s deputy in the dressing room…
haha
Its not as simple as it sounds..
altruistic.
How to fill the stadium?…Reduce the price of the seats or make the hot dogs bigger.
Mayank last one will give a presentation 2morow..so researching
http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/article2706988.ece
Pedro and Geoff are fairly altruistic.
I don’t underrate Per, Rohan. If anything I overrate Kos and Verm. But like Lurch said we can play horses for courses. But against the Ronaldos and the Messis of the world I’d play
Sagna – Kos – Verm – Santos
Got a feeling were gona try n get david villa in jan.,. Can’t get a game for barca, he has said he wants to move
Wengers tried once
Kush, honestly speaking I haven’t really given it very deep thought. Mostly I’m against anything the UPA is for. But like most foreign investment policies I’m with Mr. Singh here.
Yes. Bastards.
Frenchie’s a selfish cunt.
I think that we now have the best back line in the premier league when everyone is fit.
Sagna Mert Kos Verm
No that’s pretty impressive.
fuck off, lurch.
self centered, not selfish.
Off to bed now later all
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ny5ajCn0xw
Altruistic, Charitable?
Quick question – Wenger is tight. Wont spend much. Zamora,£5m in Jan sales at Harrods?? Cheap RVP back up?
mother teressa was altruistic. she did things for others, regardless of any benefit to herself. this is evident given the fact for 40 years she made clear to her confessor that she did not feel the presence of god in her life. any person to do for the homeless and poor as she did without thought of possible salvation certianly qualifies as altruistic.
theres a difference?
thats ok then.
no to zamora, he redefines barndoor & target sighting deficiency.
shhhhh.

Santo’s girlfriend as back up Left wing… A sure bum seat filler
Llorente it is then. 20m Big ones’s should seal the deal.
Cows Arsenal & banjo do spring to mind, but certainly better than the invisible Morrocan and more likely to score than misfiring AFCN bound Gerv.
Just a thought. I dont think he will buy and RVP will pick up injury 1st Feb.
filling up the sadium is as simple as making a couple of world class signings.
known in secular scientific circles as the Bergkamp effect, AKA the God injection.
just read a great article on devine selfishness and human selfishness. amazing. i think i will use that logic with the wife the next time i “suffer” from a syndrome designated as two pump chump.

re Stadium fill…not sure who does ticketing for you channel side dwellers but here NFL already has a system for fans to sell back tickets through a central vendor..http://www.nfl.com/tickets just sayin.
“they’re working on improving reporting systems to communicate fill”
That’s utter bollocks. Under PL rules every club has to fill in and return a form (Form 7?) within 10 days of a home match stating tickets sold and actual attendance. You could fiddle the tax otherwise. They already have that data, they just choose not to announce it. We have one of the sophisticated entry systems in the country, the idea they don’t know how many have come through the gate by 3.30pm is absurd!!
Problem is you went full retard, lurch. Never go full retard.
medical team got it wrong again over santos time… he will be out for three weeks! yeah right wrong again… as they did with gibbs, jack,…..
ask sean penn, went home empty handed.
