The sports supplement that comes with The Examiner on a Wednesday (Arena) wasn't in it today or maybe it just didn't come with the copy I got.
But the columns by the Chelsea,Man Utd., Liverpool and Arsenal fans that are usually in Arena were in the main paper today.

Someone should discontinue her. I can't abide her Little Britain-esque, rah rah rah, well 'ard tripe she peddles.

Seems a bit strange to just stop it without an explanation?

Gone except for special occasions I think - All Irelands, Six Nations and that. Pity, some good stuff in it

heard they may be starting a new entertainment supplement soon, possibly called 'solar' or summat like that, maybe they dropped arena to make room for it?

Arena was a pretty good read, but i mainly read it for the soccer columns.

I've zero interest in rugby, golf, horse racing, basketball, etc

The quotes across the top of the pages used be good as well. They do have a new Champions League supplement which they run the week of the matches, it's called "Champions," and will next appear on October 18th.

Agreed, plenty of orginal ones too, a cut above the rest of the papers who just nick quotes from the rival's round-ups.

I liked to try my hand at the crossword. "Try" being the operative word!

Well you know what they say, trying is the first step towards failure.

The important question is:

shammy I wouldn't know which side to attack. A more perfectly rotund person I've not seen in my life.
It's not the fact that she's a Chelsea fan, that doesnt bother me but she comes across as a chunky Ray Winstone. And Winstone's no waif.

Ironically, the same reason as why Steven Kelly is the only one of them i can stand really
Richard Kurt comes out with a source every week that tells us of some training ground bust (not making it up are we Richard?) -up involving united players, the happiest day of his life will be when Fergie goes! Anyway, i never really liked the Red Issue and don't like him either so im probably biased.

Richard Kurt is a bit of prick alright. Kelly and Azulay would be the better reads of the four and I'm a Pool fan but the Trizia one is a gowl she had a go at the lack of things to see in Sofia yesterday it's Bulgaria what did she expect Hanging gardens of Babylon, Blarney castle what?

Kelly is top class.He edits Through the wind and the rain which is by far the best of the three LFC fanzines.

Yup, he's very reasonable and able to both dissect his own team and club and defend them when its due aswell
He made a great point about Rafa this week
The media blames him for rotation (they have a point) but Kelly points out that a lot of these same journalists are back tracking and looking for someone to blame since they all tipped Liverpool to be Chelseas main rivals this year

Maybe the Man United supporters could take a leaf from his book and realise it's possible to support them and be objective at the same time.

Utd fans are plenty objective and critical. In the safety of our own company.
