Cesc does know how to quit you Arsene.

@TFA - if this devolves into Arsene sniffing Cesc's jersey as it hangs in his locker, I'm outta here.

I was at the Tottenham Xmas party in 2000. Tim Sherwood was a douche bag but Campbell, Perry, Freund were all very nice.

"England international Jamie Carragher managed to do both at Liverpool’s bash when he got busy with a can of whipped cream and a gaggle of strippers while dressed as the Hunchback of Notre Dame."

ha... I want to know what they mean by "while dressed as"... that's what he already looks like! Still, he's my red-faced hero at the back. Always looks like he's about three breaths away from dying, and yet a rock back there, legs and arms flailing in every tackle.
