WBIR.com: The mysterious body from the sky
On September 11, 1985, Fred Myers called authorities to his house in the Island Home neighborhood. The 85-year-old had found the body of a man, tangled in a parachute.
Three months after Thornton plunged to his death, a black bear was found in the north Georgia wilderness, apparently overdosed on cocaine dropped by Thornton.
This WBIR Our Stories episode brought back some memories.
First of all, I knew the Fred Myers mentioned in the story. His wife was a customer of my Mom's beauty shop, which is how our family knew them. I especially remember her (I believe her name was Agnes but I mainly remember her as "Miz Myers") because she was a school teacher who, while sitting under the hair dryer at my Mom's beauty shop, helped teach me to read and write before I went to kindergarten. Later she helped me with my lessons when I went to first grade. They were very nice folks and always drove a nice new Buick.
I recall that in 1960 they were very Republican. She asked me who I liked for President (I was six years old). I told her I liked that nice Mr. Kennedy. She was quite disappointed, but didn't give up on me.
Fast forward several years later, when we bought our first house in Island Home not far from where they lived. Fast forward a few more years when we were living in Florida and I saw this wire story in the Orlando paper. Needless to say it was very weird.
And what's even weirder is that this guy ended up in their back yard, because there were dozens of nearby South Knoxville back yards he could have landed in where the "34 kilograms of uncut cocaine, valued around $15 million" would never have been, uh, recovered.
And here's some interesting background on the guy who landed in their back yard.
Anyway, all this just goes to show you: South Knoxville is a vector for some weird and fascinating stories.
Fascinating! Thanks for the
Fascinating! Thanks for the great stories. Truth is better than fiction.

Yes, after living in the South Haven and Island Home areas for almost 10 years, the stories we could tell. Both were wonderfully interesting communities. Of course, this was before that ugly jagged monstrosity divided the area.
The Rev. Horton Heat said it best...
Well, I was workin' on my farm 'bout 1982,
Pullin' up some corn and a little carrot, too
When two low-flying aeroplanes, 'bout a hundred feet high
Dropped a bunch o' bales o' somethin', some hit me in the eye...
So I cut a bale open, an' man was I surprised
Bunch o' large sized baggies, with big white rocks inside
So I took a little sample to my crazy brother Joe
He sniffed it up and kicked his heels, said, "Horton, that's some blow!"
Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foriegn rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes
So I loaded up them bales in my pick-em-up truck,
Headed west for Dallas, where I would try my luck
I didn't have a notion if I could sell 'em there,
But, thirty minutes later, I was a millionaire...
Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foriegn rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes
And now I am a rich man, but I'm still a farmer, too
But I sold my farm in Texas, bought a farm down in Peru
And when get so homesick, I think I'm goin' insane,
I travel back to Texas in a low-flyin' plane...
Bales of cocaine, fallin' from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like a foriegn rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes

The Portrush man is sitting at 8 under, sharing second place with Robert Rock and Romain Wattel.
McDowell shot a five under par round at Fota Island resort in Co Cork in the second day of the competition.
Starting from the tenth, McDowell began with three pars before notching up his first birdie - only to drop a shot on the next hole.
However, a birdie followed on the fifteenth and the 34-year-old went on to finish strongly with a run of three birdies between holes two and four, and another on the sixth.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy could only manage an erratic 69 to miss the cut by a shot on one over.
The Co Down man needed to finish birdie-eagle to qualify for the weekend and although he duly holed from long range on the 17th and hit a brilliant escape from the trees on the last, he was unable to chip in from the front of the green.
"It's very frustrating," said the former world number one, who won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth last month.
"To make six birdies and an eagle and shoot just two under means there were a lot of mistakes and wasteful shots.
"To miss the cut for the second year in a row is not a nice position to be in. I don't know what else to say, it's very disappointing."
He added: "I'm proud of myself how I fought out there and didn't give up and tried for the last shot.
"I gave myself a chance to try to make the cut with the big birdie putt on 17, but just wasn't meant to be.
"I just need to tighten it all up and become a lot more consistent, make the bad shots a little bit better and not be as wasteful around the greens.
"If I can do that, I know my game is right there. I've got a couple weeks off now to work on my game a little bit, play some links golf and get ready for the Scottish Open and the Open."

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

PepsiCo, Inc. has announced a series of strategic investment and productivity initiatives that involve increasing marketing and advertising by about $500 million to $600 million in 2012 and cutting 3% of its global workforce over the next several years.
"In a volatile global environment over the past five years, PepsiCo has delivered double-digit compound annual growth in core net revenue, 8% compound annual growth in core e.p.s., and returned about $30 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases," said Indra Nooyi, chairman and chief executive officer of PepsiCo.
"Our goal is to continue on that earnings trajectory over the next 5 to 10 years, fully recognizing that we need to make changes in how we operate to address the challenges we identified in the review process. 2012 will be a transition year in which we will be taking the appropriate steps to build a stronger, more successful company going forward."
The increase in advertising and marketing will be primarily in North America, and the company said it expects to maintain or increase that rate of support as a percentage of revenue.
The multi-year productivity program is expected to generate about $1.5 billion in incremental cost savings by 2014 through various optimization efforts, including a reduction of 8,700 global employees.

Portland, OR (Sports Network) - Stephen Holt scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds as the Saint Mary's Gaels cruised to a 60-38 decision over the Portland Pilots in a West Coast Conference rout at the Chiles Center.
Brad Waldow added 12 points and five boards for the Gaels (15-4, 4-1 WCC), who also received 11 points and six assists from Matthew Dellavedova. SMC has now won three in a row and seven of its last eight games.
None of the Pilots (8-12, 1-4) managed to score in double-figures. Kevin Bailey, Thomas Van Der Mars, and Oskars Reinfelds tallied seven points each for Portland, which shot just 23.3 percent from the floor in the contest. Ryan Nicholas grabbed 10 rebounds as the Pilots endured their second straight setback.
SMC took a 29-19 lead into the break after it limited the hosts to 29.2 percent shooting in the opening 20 minutes. The Gaels made 44.0 percent of their field goal tries including 4-of-7 from distance in the first half to help build their double-digit advantage.
The Pilots were unable to rally back after going just 3-of-19 from the field and missed all five of their 3-point attempts in the second half. SMC outscored Portland, 18-6, after the intermission.
The 3-point arc played a vital role, as the Gaels scored 18 points from distance to the Pilots' total of six.
The test drive was successful a year ago. Now FCS playoff teams are really anxious to take the field for a spin.
Kasey Kahne will continue to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2018 Sprint Cup season, signing a three-year contract extension on Thursday.

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
We grow devout in the presence of poverty, particularly when it is not our own. We find an ennobling dignity in the lives of poor people, especially if they lived long ago and far away and don't make any present demands on our time and money. There's a natural tendency toward overcompensation when we see a movie like Ermanno Olmi's "The Tree of Wooden Clogs." We say the movie is a masterpiece when we mean that it is about people we pity and respect.
I can understand those reactions without sharing them. Olmi is going for broke in this film - he obviously intended it to be great, to dare everything - and because we are in sympathy with him we want to say he succeeds. But "The Tree of Wooden Clogs" demands a more complex response than that. If it is indeed very good, let's not dismiss it with routine humanist overpraise.
The movie's set in Italy, in 1898, in a very poor country district where four peasant families live in the same farm complex and till the soil for the landowner, who gets three-quarters of whatever they do.
The lives of the families are very simple, centering around the change in the seasons, the condition of the soil, their own births and deaths and illnesses, their religion, their traditions. Somewhere else in Italy, a social revolution is growing and there are demonstrations in the streets, but to these peasants that is meaningless.
Olmi works very close to the land himself. He is in the neorealist tradition of DeSica, who experimented in "Shoeshine" and "Bicycle Thief" with the use of non-professionals. The people in "The Tree of Wooden Clogs" are not actors, we are told, but Olmi finds astonishing performances in them.
There are a lot of characters in the movie (which is three hours long), and we meet them in a series of many everyday activities. The fields are tilled, a hog is slaughtered, tomatoes are planted against the barn's sunny wall. A child is born, a cow grows sick, a widow takes in laundry, a courtship proceeds, there is a fight, a wedding and a river journey to Milan, and one of the landowner's trees is cut down to furnish wood for the clog sandal of a peasant child.
It is a very pleasant, even lulling, experience to watch these daily activities, and I found myself enjoying the film on a documentary level. Almost everything you might want to know about the external rhythms of Italian 19th century peasant life is here in this film, and, although Olmi is political and his film has a buried level of protest, this isn't a leftist tract like Bertolucci's "1900"; it's the story of some lives.
But Olmi has a tendency to grow too sentimental about those lives. The film's central image is of the peasant Batisti cutting down the poplar tree to make the sandal for his child. As he sits in his kitchen shaping the clog shoe, organ music by Bach plays on the soundtrack. And later the peasant family will be thrown off the land for stealing the tree.
As we wipe the tears from our eyes, may we also be permitted to reflect that (a) cutting down a whole tree is a rather drastic way to obtain the wood for one single clog shoe, and (b) that if Olmi's reasoning is carried through to its conclusions, would we also get Bach playing over scenes of a modern Batisti sticking up a shoe store?
What I'm suggesting is that this movie should be viewed for its actual visual content, rather than for its noble pretensions. It is a film to experience in an almost apolitical way: We are introduced to a community of peasants, we observe their lives and strivings, Olmi has brought an astonishing wealth of detail, accuracy and beauty to this record of their story, and that is enough.

DaMusic.be Review LaFaro At Eurosonic 2012
For original Dutch article, follow 'Full Press Article'. Thanks to our Dutch fans for translating - Don't trust translating software...
'If you're from Belfast it's not surprising you make this type of music Lafaro does. Compare it to an unexpected headbutt and you kinda get the idea.
The fact that singer-guitarist Johnny Black broke his ankle was no obstacle. Guitarist Dave Magee took care of the headbanging and the music did the rest. Tough-ass hardcore with influences from Shellac to Big Black made the adrenaline rush abundantly, even though it appeared to be too late to start pogoing. We are always up for a bang of a sledgehammer like this!'
"The venue is the perfect place for this group of Irish scum".

Written on: 31/05/2013 by Maxlenn (1 review written)
I switched from BT Infinity to Sky Broadband on the 28th of May. after reading so many negative comments I hesitated at first, but couldn't afford to pay BT over £50 every month, so after speaking to one of Sky's representative on the phone I decided to go for it. it's such a good deal compared to BT - I'm saving hundreds.
the switch as been straightforward - on the 28th at about 9am the connection with BT stopped, so I plugged in the Sky Hub and that was it - within few hours it was up and running.
I'm getting between 3.5 to 4.0 Mb download speed, which is good enough for anything. BT Infinity was much faster, but I don't really notice it much browsing - it's like fractions of second difference. it's more when downloading: for example, before I could download a movie in about 5mins, and now it might take 15/20mins. I can live with that.
very pleased with the switch so far... I'm impressed by Sky.
I'd definitely recommend it.

LVHN builds on relationship with FL cancer hospital
Updated On: May 21 2013 05:41:34 PM CDT
Lehigh Valley Health Network is building on a relationship with a top Florida cancer hospital.
Lehigh Valley Health Network is joining the new Moffitt Oncology Network.
It's an expansion of the hospital's partnership with the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.
Doctors at Lehigh Valley will work closer with Moffitt than they ever have before.
"They have a superb, talented group of clinicians as well as clinical investigators. That kind of alignment is critical for us for our partnership alliances. We need that kind of committment to patient centric-care as well as research," said Alan List, president and CEO of Moffitt Cancer Center.
Lehigh Valley first partnered with Moffitt a couple of years ago.
Lehigh Valley is the first hospital outside of Florida to join the Moffitt Oncology Network.

Perkins: Payoff justifies move to allow single-game wagering
Legislation to amend federal statutes and allow provinces to operate single-game sports wagering is moving along smoothly in the Ottawa pipeline, and plenty of gravy awaits.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
March Madness is just around the corner, for those who inhale the sporting drama and sheer unpredictability of the annual month-long basketball frenzy. With any luck, this will be the last March Ontarians cannot legally wager on individual tournament games because after a decade of scolding, both here and elsewhere, our flat-broke governments are finally waking up to the billions of dollars that await the first jurisdiction (outside of Nevada) that allows fans to do legally what they are going to do anyway on the Internet, which is bet on sports.
Legislation introduced by Windsor MP Joe Cromartin, to amend federal statutes and allow provinces to operate single-game sports wagering, is moving along smoothly in the Ottawa pipeline. It has had two uneventful readings in the House of Commons and two weeks ago passed unanimously in the standing committee on justice and human rights. If it gets third reading this spring, it heads to the Senate and if it escapes the usual slowdown there, we could have sportsbooks operating at racetracks, at least, by summer. (Racetracks, at least those operating under the Woodbine flag, are already onside, for obvious reasons.)
This isn't changing much, by the way. The social-costs horse long ago left the barn. Sports betting already is legal, but only in ProLine-type multi-game parlays, the silliest way to bet and one that drives serious players to cyberspace and potential revenues out of the country. Bring in single-game wagering, manage it properly, and imagine the riches that would accrue — and not only to those betting against the Maple Leafs lately.
Ever try to get a hotel room in Las Vegas at Super Bowl time or find a sportsbook seat when the NCAA tournament is on? Good luck. It would be the same here; hotels at border casinos would be full on big sports occasions, jammed with sports fans/bettors suddenly provided an alternative to Vegas. Think of the tourism boost.
People love to bet and are going to bet, legally or not; the low estimate of Canadians' Internet action is $10 billion annually. High estimate is $80 billion. Wherever the real total lies, plenty of gravy awaits.
Our U.S. friends, always trying to put genies back into bottles on puffed-up moral grounds, keep busting Internet gambling operators; the Bodog people were handcuffed this week and numerous online poker sites have been shackled. That mentality once brought about Prohibition — and, with it, the successful entrenchment of organized crime — and the failing "War on Drugs," an enormous waste of money and other resources.
Enlightened locales finally understand people want what they want and it is better to let them have it, taxed and regulated, with governments taking their cut. Britain figured this out about online gambling years ago; once sites were legal, customers flocked to them (winners got paid; no sites fell into the sea when it came time to collect) and the websites advertised heavily and sponsored events and paid taxes and so on.
If Ontario had figured this all out a decade ago, it might not be all those billions in debt, thanks to Dalton McGuinty's crew, who (it bears repeating) display less understanding of the relationship between revenues and expenditures than a 16-year-old drug dealer. And speaking of things our Ontario politicians don't understand, notice the Drummond Report decides to pick on horse racing and recommends reneging on the slots-at-racetrack plan — a vital and lucrative arrangement for both racing and government.
Now calling an investment in a profitable partnership a "subsidy" to rich people is both flat-out stupidity and a lie. Racing provides 60,000 jobs, most of them to ordinary, hard-working taxpayers, and hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenues. To kill racing would be the worst kind of madness, March or otherwise.

Excellent veggie cooking for busy people.,
This review is from: Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Meals In Minutes (Paperback)
This book is wonderful. I've been vegetarian for 23 years, since I was a child, but I've always lived on meat free convenience food. I thought it was time I got healthy, so I bought this book. It does as it promises to do, offering recipes which are quick to prepare. It's divided into sections; bread, dairy, pasta, pulses, fruit and veg. There's lots of inventive ways to serve rice and some fabulous soups as well, and the pasta sauces will make you swear never to touch shop bought sauce again! I recommend this book to anyone wanting a collection of tasty, healthy veggie recipes.

Mortgage deals are likely to get cheaper
Sunday 24 April 2011
People planning to remortgage or fund a house purchase may find that the deals on offer get cheaper over the coming weeks and months, mortgage industry insiders have said.
The release of the minutes of the April meeting of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee last week has quashed rumours of an imminent rise in base rate. This led to lenders including the Woolwich, Skipton and the Halifax cutting some fixed-rate mortgage deals.
"What is happening is that the money markets priced a more immediate Bank rate rise into the cost of mortgages. Now it seems that this may not take place until August or even next year. This is starting to feed through to rates," said Brian Murphy, the director of the Mortgage Advice Bureau.
The downward pressure could continue, said Ray Boulger, the technical director of broker Charcol. "Fixed rates could go even lower. The market is still anticipating rates going up more quickly than they actually will. The fact that inflation went down rather than up last month was a bit of a game changer," he said. The best-buy, five-year rate available though the Yorkshire Building Society is 4.19 per cent but Mr Boulger thinks even cheaper rates could soon be in the offing. "Fixed rates could get as low as 4 per cent," he said.
But Mr Murphy warned against people gambling too much on rates going much lower. "We have seen as many people moving their mortgages to new providers as at anytime since before the credit crunch, and you can understand why. Rates, although there may be some downward moves over the summer, are abnormally low and those locking their rate in now are definitely getting the deal near the bottom of the market."
Tracker mortgages are also becoming more keenly priced. David Hollingworth from London & Country mortgages said, "Mortgages that track the base rate for the lifetime of the mortgage are interesting at the moment. ING Direct and HSBC are offering lifetime tracker rates at just 1.85 per cent above the base rate and 1.89 per cent respectively, and that's with no fee."
Those with smaller deposits – such as first-time buyers – will also be cheered by the latest moves in the mortgage market. "Some lenders have cut their rates on higher loan-to-value mortgages – 80 or 85 per cent – more aggressively. This means the price differential between higher and lower loan-to-values has narrowed a touch," Mr Hollingworth said. In particular, he cited ING Direct's three-year, fixed-rate mortgage at 80 per cent LTV priced at 4.49 per cent with no fee.

Wild say 'everything's a go' with goalies Backstrom, Harding
Aug 15, 2014, 9:00 AM EST
Yesterday, Brough wrote about the state of Minnesota's goaltending and how it will rely on the trio of Niklas Backstrom, Josh Harding and Darcy Kuemper for next season.
On Thursday, GM Chuck Fletcher shared some good news about the two veterans of the group.
From the Minnesota Star-Tribune:
"Everything's a go with both goalies," Fletcher said of Backstrom and Harding. "Everybody seems to be feeling pretty good, and at this stage, knock on wood, all of our players who were banged up at the end of the season is feeling better. Josh has felt good. Right now we're not expecting any issues for anybody with respect to passing training camp medicals.
"Now's the time of the year, with about a month to go, you want to reach out and make sure there's no issues you don't know about so if there is something you have time to help the process. With Josh and Nik, you're just trying to reach out and see how they're doing. They're both doing really well."
Harding, 30, was brilliant through the first three months of last season and a legit Vezina candidate (not to mention the Wild's MVP). But complications from multiple sclerosis forced him from the net in late December, and he didn't play at all in 2014.
Backstrom, 36, was below average in just 21 appearances last season and finished with a .899 save percentage. The veteran Finn has had injury problems and underwent season-ending core muscle surgery in March.
The timing of Fletcher's comments about the health Backstrom and Harding are interesting, though. The Wild are currently at a contract standstill with Kuemper, who's an RFA and appears to be angling for a certain type of deal — one Fletcher suggested he's not ready to put on the table.
"Darcy certainly has great potential and played very well in stretches for us this season, but at the end of the day I think he's played around 30 games in the NHL," Fletcher told the Star-Tribune earlier this month. "Usually this isn't the time to fight for the big contract. We feel Darcy right now is trying to establish himself in the league and once he does that it'll be a little simpler to come up with terms."
Fletcher said he hasn't spoken to Kuemper's camp recently, and one wonders if declaring Backstrom and Harding fit isn't strategic with regards to the Kuemper negotiations.

The Killers Tap Legendary Director Werner Herzog For Webcast (And Don't Mind Having Mitt Romney As A Fan)
September 18 is shaping up to be a big day in the world of Las Vegas drama kings, the Killers. The date will mark the release of the band's fourth studio album, Battle Born, featuring the epic first single, "Runaways." Now we learn that Brandon Flowers and the gang will celebrate the occasion with a live concert webcast from the Paradise Theater in New York, which will be directed by legendary German film director Werner Herzog. Fans can watch the show on the band's YouTube channel that night starting at 4PM PT / 7PM ET.
According to a Rolling Stone report, the Killers picked Herzog for his "unique ideas," and have already met with the pioneering director about the collaboration, which is the latest installment in the American Express Unstaged series (previous Unstaged shows have paired Jack White with Gary Oldman and Duran Duran with David Lynch). Among those ideas for the Killers' webcast include soliciting fans from around the world to submit self-portraits with signs stating their location. Some of the pictures will be used as part of the show.
As the band prepares for the big day, they've found themselves caught up in something of a political whirlwind of late, thanks to Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney recently letting it be known that he's a fan of the Killers' rock anthems.
"Anyone's allowed to like us," the band's bass player Mark Stoermer diplomatically stated to Rolling Stone. "If it's just about music, I guess it's not a negative thing.
"He's, I guess, a guy and he listens to music and happens to like us," Stoermer added. "That's fine."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
This time, Gunners could carve Reds like jack-o'-lantern
Sir Alex Ferguson is expecting a "hard game" against Arsenal today. In other words, the Manchester United manager foresees the Gunners actually competing at Old Trafford -- something they didn't do when they last visited this ground.
That was 14 months ago, and the 8-2 defeat inflicted on Arsene Wenger's injury-ravaged side represented the most lopsided scoreline in the history of this national derby.
It also compelled the Arsenal boss to make a handful of last-minute signings in the two days remaining in the transfer window, and it's because of those new players, in addition to the ones recruited this summer, that Wenger isn't thinking back to what was one of the most humiliating moments of his career.
"I will not mention last season's result at all ahead of this game because 90 per cent of the players who will play (today) did not play at Old Trafford last season," he remarked in his pre-match press conference.
"Of course there is an emotional aspect to a result like that," he added, "but revenge is not something I think about in this game."
Ferguson isn't so sure.
When addressing last August's mammoth win he ventured to reporters that the embarrassment of the defeat could "have a way of motivating Arsenal." But, he added, "it won't happen (today); that's for sure. There is no point living in the past."
The present, for United, holds some promise. Ahead of the Arsenal showdown the Red Devils are second in the Premier League and would leapfrog Chelsea into top spot with a win at Old Trafford and a Blues loss at Swansea. They lead the Premier League with 24 goals and have tallied 14 times in their last four matches.
The flip side, however, is that they've conceded 11 goals over the same period. While the forwards have been going about their business up front, the defence has been putting on a party in the back. And as Wednesday's 5-4 league cup defeat to Chelsea once again displayed, you don't win a lot of matches playing mullet-football.
Not that the back four has been entirely to blame.
United has struggled mightily in the centre of the park this season, and if Arsenal can get a handle on the midfield matchups they stand a good chance of carving through United like a Halloween pumpkin.
"I think the key to modern football is having more possession," offered Arsenal playmaker Santi Cazorla in his pre-match remarks. "The more you have, the more you control the game. At Old Trafford we need to control the game and keep hold of the ball."
Cazorla will likely be forced to play a bit deeper than usual against United, but with Jack Wilshere and Mikel Arteta also operating centrally the Gunners should see a lot of the ball against the 19-time champions. Then again, all that possession will be for naught if they can't stick the ball in the back of the net.
Coming into today's contest Arsenal have recorded exactly the same number of goals as second-last Southampton; they've scored just once in four of their last five Premier League matches and have been kept off the scoresheet four times in all competitions. They've also been on the wrong end of a clean sheet in two of their last three visits to Old Trafford.
That said, you get the feeling there will be plenty of goals today. United striker Robin Van Persie will be facing his former side for the first time, and he'll be eager to remind Arsenal what they're missing.
On the other side of the ball, Olivier Giroud will be looking to prove to Wenger and Gunners fans that he's more than capable of filling Van Persie's boots.
In any event, it's unlikely this fixture will provide many dull moments. It rarely does.
"Of course," said Ferguson, "every game against Arsenal is always a big one."
