What do you reckon? "Wenger"?

Interesting article which highlights another small piece of the child ownership and custody arrangement in this country.

Parents don't actually "own" their children in this country. Do you think they should?

No. But I don't think the state should own them either. And I already know you'll say that's not the case, despite the article you just posted and the GOSH example along with countless other examples. So let's agree to disagree in advance.

Fair enough. By default, while the parents don't own the child they do have first dibs on making decisions for the child.
The state only steps in if it is felt that the parents are doing something which harms the child. You have to have some system to deal with that scenario even if those scenarios are often complicated, with grey areas.
In any case, in this case it was parent vs parent, the state only stepped in to decide which parent was right. Again, how else do you resolve such disputes? Rock, paper, scissors?

By determining what time Wenger will be making his substitutions in a game..

But nobody could know that. His genius is too unpredictable.

You are confusing criminal behaviour with issues of unlawful and unnatural authoritarianism. The state never has the right to interfere with the family in any way, ever. The fact they assign this right to themselves is an UNLAWFUL and UNNATURAL act and therefore invalid. Which is why the state needs to be abolished. It is a cancer at the heart of society and is, by its nature, irredeemable. And even in the case of criminal behaviour, it is up to the CITIZENRY to decide what that is - not the state. Like the abominable corporation, the state has appointed a legal and unlawful status to itself that is entirely unwarranted. The unbelievable arrogance and temerity to intervene in a non-violent, lawful family dispute, it beggars belief. It can scarcely be comprehended but, due to the passage of time over which the state has abused the law in such a consistent manner, the most abnormal outcome imaginable is seen as normal. Society, in the main, has become mentally ill.

Africa's richest man has expressed his desire to buy Arsenal and declared his first order of business would be to sack Arsene Wenger.

Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote is a Gunners fan has never hidden his wish to purchase the club even though current owner Stan Kroenke has no plans to sell.

Dangote spoke hypothetically about what he would do if he was to take over at the Emirates.

'The first thing I would change is the coach. He has done a good job, but someone else should also try his luck.'

And the 60-year-old pledged to make his move for the club following the construction of an £8.5billion oil refinery in Lagos.

Dangote, who is worth £10bn, believes he could tempt both men to leave the club in his hands if a suitable deal was on the table.

'If they get the right offer, I'm sure they would walk away. Someone will give them an offer that will make them seriously consider walking away.
'And when we finish the refinery, I think we will be in a position to do that.'

Fortunately for Wenger, Kroenke is adamant he will not sell up, with the American backing his long-term manager to bring success back to the club this season.

Comical. What kind of an idiot is Kroenke as he sits there watching Wenger get nowhere near to putting the club back at the top of the pile? What is the great secret plan the two have cooked up between them to bering about this great transformation? A few more underbids in the transfer window? A few more statements about how ideal it is to have our stars position to walk away? Another extended moan about our rivals spending money?

The sad truth is that Arsenal are lo longer amongst the top clubs and under the present regime have little chance of getting back there.

This is one of the strongest squads Wenger has ever worked with. The spirit and togetherness are excellent, top, top, top quality. As well, he has players coming back, like new signings. Things are ideal in terms of player contracts . The team has shown against Leicester they will fight until the last day. As well, if Wenger can do something to bring top quality into the team he will do it. But he does not spend for the sake of it. The quality must be available. For example, if we keep Alexis and lose the transfer fee then if he does not sign we have not spent big money on his wages. We must take this into account. Sometimes it is successful not to spend. The fans say we must win all the time, but they do not always consider the culture of the club and the financial stability. Of course Wenger wants to spend, but is there quality and the culture and the stability of that quality and the quality of the wages?
