Paul Merson went duck hunting. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into the Spurs training ground other side of a fence. As Merse climbed over the fence, Ledley King asked him what he was doing. Merson responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, I'm going to retrieve it." King replied "This is Spurs property, and you are not coming over here." Merson said, "I am one of the best ex footballers/pundits around and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll get Arsene Wenger to sign all your local talent and leave you dependent on Jermaine Jenas forever!" King smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things here at Tottenham. We settle small disagreements like this with the Three-Kick Rule." Merson asked, "What is the three-Kick Rule?" King replied. "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up." Merson quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the permacrock centre half. He agreed to abide by the local custom. King slowly walked up to the drunken chancer. His first kick planted the toe of his Predators into Merson's groin and dropped him to his knees. His next two kicks to the same spot caused the 'popular' pundit so much pain that he nearly gave up. However, he summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said, "Okay, you non-footballing wage grabbing inspirational cunt, now it's my turn." King smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."

not finding a lot of name value in the current arsenal youth contingent, the counterpoint of chuba 'chubs' akpom and chukwuemeka 'chuks' aneke about as interesting as it takes
was prepared to hate hector bellerin for having a shit name and being another ex-barca youth player ready to take queen wenger's shilling, until i saw this photo of him and felt his move into the EPL was verging on the TE lawrence level of unlikely yet seamless acculturation

It's such a beautiful album that it far exceeded my expectations. It keeps the signature style of Tuomas's writing but brings it to a new level
Who's that in the photo with Bellerin?

Whilst Arsenal have yet to enter the transfer market for any first-team players, the club have been busy making numerous acquisitions at U18 level.In addition to the previously announced deals for Kristopher Da Graca, Jonatas Centeno, Savvas Mourgos and Elias Hatzitheodoridis, the club have this week finalised moves for promising youngsters Ben Sheaf and Hugo Keto.Sheaf, a homegrown central-midfielder signed from West Ham’s famed academy, and Keto, a goalkeeper recruited from HJK in his native Finland, have both been capped by their countries at U16 level.For all the promise of those listed above, however, Arsenal’s biggest success at youth level this Summer may well prove to be the retaining of the services of an existing player.Chris Willock, an attacking midfielder deemed so talented that he trained with the first-team at London Colney last season whilst he was still as schoolboy, was the subject of considerable interest from Manchester United, where his brother Matthew, formerly of Arsenal, currently plays.However, last weekend Willock confirmed that he has signed a two-year scholarship deal with Arsenal and will continue his development at the club. Although he struggled with several injury setbacks last season, Willock demonstrated his considerable promise during his 12 appearances at U18 level and also made the bench in the FA Youth Cup.There are some other promising Hale End products in this intake, most notably Kaylen Hinds, a striker who featured in the UEFA Youth League last season, and George Dobson, a defensive-minded player with genuine leadership qualities. Tyrell Robinson, a dangerous winger, is also worth keeping an eye on, with Marc Bola, Aaron Eyoma and Chiori Johnson having also commenced their scholarships this week.

The entire concept of Scrooge McDuck confounds me. Charles Dickens's Ebeneezer Scrooge reincarnated as an anthropomorphic billionaire duck who lives in the US but speaks with an intelligible Scottish accent (unlike his impedemented nephew, Donald) has adventures along with his 3 grandnephews (also ducks wearing baseball caps).

In other news, young trio Glen Kamara, Tafari Moore and Josh Vickers have all signed professional terms at the Emirates. Mainstays of the under-18s last season they’ll be hoping to turn heads for the under-21s this season with a view to a potential shot at a run out in the Capital One Cup.
Tafari is a good name

tafari is ethiopian/amharic (haile selassie's birth name & ras tafari = prince tafari) his middle name is lalibela which means his parents are either v serious rastas or v patriotic ethiopians
