A white man's world, racist John Howard

Now I am normally here ranting about football and particularly the Arsenal but today I have a special moment for the idiot of the moment John Howard the head honcho of the boomerang shaped island called Australia.

For those who don't know he just got on his high horse this weekend and banned his team from touring Zimbabwe. Now I am not a fan of Robert Gabriel Mugabe and I am sure there are very few who are. But this kinda shows how out of touch with Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans the rest of the world is.

First and foremost Mr Howard has in this gross aberration made the poor assumption that Mugabe cares about Zimbabwe cricket. And that he will use the tour of the Aussies as a trump card. Now has he ever done that? In effect it has been many years since the government has even bothered to meet with a touring side.

Secondly, given that inflation is about 40010007% right now I am sure that it wouldnt figure as a priority. The only people who actually care that the tour has been interfered with are the kids and the public at large who would have really liked to watch the world champions. They are the real losers here.

And let's not for a moment talk tripe about what Mugabe has done or hasn't done. The real issue is that Zimbabwe is a black country that interfered with white people. Just to illustrate, Pakistan's Musharaf has just gone about killing opponents of his and has a standing shoot-to-kill order at the moment targeted at anyone with views that are divergent from his. Now given that he wasnt elected and is in effect a dictator never heard anyone say that they were not touring his country. And why? Cause no white people were hurt when Musharaf took power. I mean there is a greater likelihood of finding a bomb in Colombo(Sri Lanka) or Karachi.

I am not a ZANU(PF) apologist but the truth of the matter is that the motivation behind Mr Howard's decision is his racist attitude towards the majority of Zimbabweans, treating them as if they were a third-class citizen of the world. He doesn't care about Zimbabweans. He cares about the white ones who now stay in his country but he doesnt have a minute for the black ones who suffer equally or at best as much as his white kin. This was also a direct reaction to the fact that Zimbabwe got the african vote for the UN board. And that did not make Mr Howard happy, no.

This is after all a white man's world

Arsene Wenger

The first time I heard he was joining Arsenal, I didnt bat an eyelid. Mind you I was preparing for my O Level exams at the time and let's face it, the Arsenal were not setting the stage alight so who would blame them for signing some French fella. I joked that maybe they figured they needed someone with a name as close to Arsenal as possible. Little did I know the effect he would have on the team. I am not sure there is anything I can say that hasnt been already said in the last week or two about the impact he has had on Arsenal, english, european and dare I say world football. One qualify world football on the basis of how many teams actually want to do things the Arsenal way. And it is all encapsulated in one man, Arsene Wenger. Even here in Zimbabwe you have teams trying to model themselves on the Arsenal system, on and off the pitch and it reaps rewards for them, the national coach is a brilliant example of that. Personally, I am humbled. I can not point out one moment of magic...

Maybe Arsenal need to practice shooting

I dont think there is a team that creates as many chances as Arsenal in the Premiership. So much so I think if we got one player who had the slightest interest in scoring we would be sending many teams down. But alas we create the chances and we are left wondering about what cvould have been. Arsene blames it on naivety but in all fairness Arsenal have been guilty of the self same thing for a while now. Sometimes you just need to score said Thierry Henry. So why dont you just score mate? Entertainment is all very well but being so far behind the chavs and the mancs is isnt fun either. I know they will get it but hopefully we wont be too far behind to make a difference. On yesterday's peformances two players did particularly well for me. Hleb and Flamini. Flamini worked in that role tirelessly in the middle and Hleb is becoming a real threat almost everytime we play. Now you simply cant leave him out... Congratulations fto Robinson on the England win... Canct wauit for the Ashes..

What we all really knew

Thierry Henry has pledged his future to Arsenal. I said in a recent post that it all came down to whether he believed that he was the right man to lead the team into the next version of Arsenal. And he proved me right by making to very important points, that he wantede to lead the team into the new stadium and more importantly was staying to build the team into one of the strongest in Europe. Obviously he heard something he liked from the gaffer otherwise he wouldnt have bothered. And most importantly he sees something in these kids and the tone of his post-match conferences and media releases seem to show he has confidence in the lads and that he believes they wull grow up very quickly. He should be live they will be ready soon otherwise at his age he might have felt he would run out of time before they were ripe. Perhaps this could be the turn-around point of Arsenal's season because you began to get the feeling that the team was not sure of the leader of the team. They were too ...
