Cheese Rolling At Coopers Hill In Gloucestershire Picture Courtesy of Adam Wood Did you compete? Did you come in the first three places? Please let us have your details for the record of the event. Cheese Ban News media around the world are now reporting an attempt to prevent Diana Smart from selling her Double Gloucester Cheeses which have traditionally been used in the Cheese-Rolling at Cooper's Hill. Diana Smart will surely appreciate the publicity for her now unique product! Oh Arsenal, Where Art Though? In the past few weeks, we have had to witness some of the most frustratingly lack-lustre, nonchalant and dire performances of the season so far. After what seemed a promising beginning to the 2012/13 campaign, full of impressive defensive performances, exceedingly good midfield play, what were the beginnings of exciting attacking flare and even glimpses of title-winning passion, the team have suddenly started to steadily disintegrate. This period has worried many fans to such an extent that Wenger’s job has been questioned as never before.
censorship Reader submission about a recent story that The National declined to cover, a story that happened "in its backyard": "This type of self-censorship is common at the paper, which is not serving its readership well. "In addition, the paper is said losing money at an alarming rate - its circulation has been frozen in place for several years now, and its employee-turnover rate is said to be ridiculously high.

'Victory Through Harmony': It applies to us all. - Last week I wrote a piece concerning the passion and attitude of the Arsenal players. I questioned their mentality, their urgency and their drive for success, I suggested that the players needed to find not only their feet, but their hearts again. But over the weekend, a matter came to my attention which may not be as important in terms of physically changing matters on the field, but is more integral to my confidence and happiness as a supporter of Arsenal Football Club. So I have decided to take to my keyboard once again. Over the past few days, I have seen the fans of my beloved club become divided. However this division is not simply a straight-cut down the middle, with two groups confronting one another and taking opposite sides of one, singular argument.
Arsenal Team News & Probable Starting XI Just a quick bit of team news today, Arsenal could qualify for the last stages of the Champions League with a win over Montpellier this evening, who start the game bottom of the group. The injury news is bitter sweet, Gervinho and Gibbs make their return to squad after injury, but Theo Walcott is out due to a shoulder problem, probably picked up in the previous game against Spurs. Hopefully this only looks short term and should be back to premier league action shortly. Meanwhile Andre Santos misses out due to a stomach problem. Given the return of gibbs, I predict he will start the match at left back, which has been a real problem position for us of late, both Santos and Vermaelen have deputised in these areas recently with mixed results. Although Koscielny has been pretty solid recently, I think he will start on the bench with Wenger choosing the preffered Mertesacker and Vermaelen.
