Great, great news! The last few months must have been really tough for Harry and his family.

Now, if this doesn't give us a bounce I don't know what will. No room for complacency, but surely we can put a little run together now...

I really think this will give the squad a huge boost, Harry will be on a high and I really think they will be up for the Newcastle game at home, give them a damn good hammering!

Fantastic news and a huge boost to our club, let's hope the lads give him a decent round of applause on his 1st day back at the lodge.

Harry made a point in thanking club officials in supporting him throughout the trial, particularly those attending every court session.

On a wider issue though, you have to question the CPS in bringing the case to court in the first place when the prosecution's main witness was a hack from a totally discredited Sunday newspaper.

It's quite damning that a case involving a £30k tax claim, that's been running for over 4 years and cost upwards of £7m was thrown out unanimously by the jury after just 4hrs deliberation.

This clears Harry for the England job too

He'll be away in the summer for sure I would say, but i sure Levy is looking into a replacement.

Delighted for Harry and the club and agree with others this could really pull the team even closer together for one final push to the end of the seson.

If Capello goes now I think the FA will appoint Pearce as interim boss until after the Euros.

Looking forward to the Toon game, the Lane will be buzzing on Sat night!

And in the meantime former Arsenal man Paul Merson is found guilty of drink driving and banned for 14 months. Some things never change. The universe is aligned and we are back to normality.

I like Merse, think he has a soft spot for us :grin: but yeah he's a numpty for that!

Exactly. It was pursued for who they were rather than what they potentially did. Ridiculous to spend that much money on a tax claim so low. To have a dodgy phonecall between Harry and some smug wanker from the News of the World as the main evidence of the Crown is quite absurd, and as Mandaric's QC stated, this was paper thin evidence, all circumstantial.

I can't wait for Newcastle now, the atmosphere should be electric and Harry's reception incredible!

True, to be fair, he is one of the best pundits who tells it like it is. And unlike Thompson, Nicholas, et al he doesn't have this biased myopic view of Arsenal.
