If I wasn't a Gooner (there are family/bloodline connections going back to Herbert Chapman so basically I'm fooked!) I think I'd support Spurs (for awhile anyway! 
). What Harry has done for them is tremendous. I absolutely am a fan of your wee mighty mouse striker, Jermain Defoe, who is in terrific form. Overall its nice, fast attacking football. Great to watch.
Of course they don't have the panache of the Gunners, but hey...
Last weekend I watched the Rugby. The Ref called a player over and said that if he fouled again, he'd be sin-binned. Guess what the player said in reply?
"Yes sir". Bloomin hell, imagine that.
Football needs to have more able Refs, and a TV judge for important decisions that the whole stadium can also watch to see that the judgement is fair and impartial. I greatly favour EUFA's experimental box judges, that do appear to stamp out the professional fouls going on in the box and who can make more informed decisions about awarding penalties etc. But Refs are biased, they are sometimes crooked (if we use the Italian scandal a few years ago as a template) and taking important decisions out of their hands is, I think, an important step forward for fairness for the game.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
