Hello and welcome to another IceBlogArtsCast on IceBlog.com, in association with ole.com.

Here I am this week with nothing more potent than a cup of tea with two sugars and just a small little drop of milk.

No biscuits though. Hmm, I'd like a biscuit. I'm not sure what kind of biscuit I would like. Possibly a garablety.

Remember those little flat guys with kind of currents in them? I haven't seen them in the shops for years and years.

Yeah, I'd like that or some Battenberg. Yeah, that'd be nice. But anyway, I'm sitting here without any of those things.

So my sweet tooth will have to go unsweetened, I suppose, between now and the end of the show we have got for you.

A blog chat with an arsenal blogger, kind of. I'll explain more to you a bit later on.

As well as that, the man in the bar will have a player history and we will be going through your all-time cons 11s.

There was a very, very large response to that. So I can't go through them all individually.

So I'll explain to you what I've done a little bit later on. Now, since the last hour's cast, what's been happening in terms of arsenal?

Well, there's, you know, as I said in the blog, there's all this stuff about teary-onry.

And I'm not really going to comment anymore on speculation from the Spanish press about teary-onry despite its persistence.

What I will do is comment slightly on teary's comments yesterday about David Dean.

He said he was devastated that Dean left and whatever happened, it wasn't a clever move to allow him to leave.

It wasn't so much a case of allowing him to leave. It was more a case of Dean putting himself in a position where his position became untenable.

He had to go because he tried to sell the club to Stan Krunky and he tried to get other board members to sell their shares to Stan Krunky without the knowledge of the board.

So you just can't have those kind of conditions. While I appreciate fully the work that he did for Arsalan and his part and the success that we've had, you can't behave like that.

As well as that, you might question the relationship between Dean and some of the players.

It's good that he knows everybody at the club from the only 17s to the T-lady to the janitor. I think that's great.

At the same time though, you can't really have a situation where David Dean's son is teary honorees agent's legal advisor.

So when teary honorees agent goes to negotiate with David Dean about teary's new contract, the legal advice he's getting is from David Dean's son.

If that was Sam and Craig honor dice, wouldn't we be like going, wait a minute, wouldn't we?
