Naturalists observe annual phenomenon of Arsenal shedding spine

NATURE experts have flocked to the Emirates stadium to observe the extraordinary spectacle of Arsenal FC shedding its backbone.
The phenomenon, common also to stingrays in the animal kingdom, occurs without fail every year around February.
Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute for Studies said: “Like mating seasons or the Icelandic geysers, Arsenal’s transition to invertebrates occurs with astounding regularity.
“First, there is the build-up, which occurs from roughly September onwards. We see the Arsenal species clamber up the premier league to claim their place as leader of the pack.
“Then, however, quite suddenly, at the turn of the new year, their spines visibly drop out of their shorts and they spend the remainder of the season slithering about in fourth place.”
It is not known what causes the spine shedding phenomenon. Some have said it is to do with the onset of cold weather, and the unique effect it has on this most delicate variety of footballing animals.
Others have suggested some obscure connection between facing up to teams whose names begin with S, such as Southampton or Stoke, as if the letter triggers off the word ‘spineless’ in their DNA.
Brubaker said: “One of the most poignant sights in the natural world is the large worried eyes of a Mesut Ozil as he realises it’s happening yet again.”

There are two things in life that are certain..

1) we all die
2) Arsenal falling apart in February

 

1 we all die
2 Liverpool's year is next year

 

1 we all die
2 a HIAG or Piskie post will be reciprocated

 

You say that.... But I think one or two additions and next year could be our year!

 

You know what you could be right, just keep saying that every year till comes true or until certainty number 1 occurs

 

If say it every year people may start not taking it seriously though....

 

It will happen next year is ours........

Please note that if next year is not ours then it will deffo be the year after.

 

The OP is to be commended on a thoroughly well-researched and insightful article.

 

I thought it was bollocks and well below par as wums go, but then again who are Liverpool ?



What was that old milk advert on telly with 2 kids going on about Accrington Stanley - a modern version would be about Liverpool

 

I'd say that's a bite.

 

Keep casting the line, Luvvy! There's plenty more tasty Gooner-fish in that sea.

 

I'm amazed Piskie hasn't taken a big chomp on this one!...

 

... but don't forget to tie on a hook and bait it .... HIAG is still having diffoculty with that basic fishing concept ... not so much 'Thinking Tackle' as 'Shrinking Tackle' methinks

 

More of a nibble rather than a bite

 

That last line about Ozil had me in stitches...
