A renegade polymath with binoculars and a beard , Bill was invariably funny and occasionally furious . He loved birds and loathed those who harmed them . He was delightfully unpredictable , sparky , smart and at times a bit spiky . Critically he really knew his stuff , and his passion was true - he didn’t just pick up his binoculars on telly , he went birding whenever he could . So he was genuine and that’s why we loved him , he never needed a script , and took scant interest in any he was given . He didn’t like rules and often neglected to play by them . This may have frustrated the serious and the worthy but it always amused his audience - he was an utter joy to be with . I recall finding a Black Woodpecker in a damp Dutch park with him once , he gazed at it intently , sighed , put down his bins , turned to me and just smiled . A massive grin . No words , just a beautiful childlike bliss . That says all you need to know about Bill Oddie .
Sadly we’ve not only lost a goodie , we’ve lost one of the besties .
@jeremiah833@EduardoHagn No but he’s the one with hundreds of millions of pounds worth of flair players on the pitch and setting them up to play like robots
Arteta has a lot to answer for.
He’s playing Jurrien Timber until his bones fall off.
Persists with the same stupid dynamics that have not worked for ages.
If Arsenal do not win this Premier League, he has to go.
There shouldn’t be another chance.
@Ash_LFC7@SkySportsPL You having a laugh? You’ve put up the worst title defence in premier league history ! And btw you were bang average last season it’s just everyone else was crap, soon as you met someone decent in the UCL you was out, plus the amount of luck and last min goals you had was a joke

@thespursweb Spurs fans have found their voices now they’ve finally won a trophy, this is the same club and fan base that cheered an opposing team against their own club to stop us winning the league when they still had a chance of top 4…… pathetic small club mentality
