Author Dan Brown has again released a book full of myths and legends – The Lost Symbol - this summer. This has led some Arsenal fans to start thinking about some of the urban myths and legends that surround football. What do different symbols mean? Why does David Pleat still have a job on ITV? And why does Harry have that twitch? I hope below I can clear up some of the strange unanswered questions that come up in conversations about our beautiful game.

Many fans have wondered in the past why it is that our inbred neighbours have a cock for a badge. One theory I've heard recently is because they are all homosexual, and this would explain why many of them had 'Bent' on the back of their shirts last season. As well worked out as this theory is, it is in fact wrong. As with all theories sometimes the obvious is the answer. In this case it is just that they are all cocks.

There is proof that Phil Brown is a c**t. This has been backed up by the following fact. During last season at times there appeared to be hair around his lips. Now again this theory is backed up... Roy Keane also has hair around his lips and is also a c**t, yet Harry Redknapp does not have a goatie, so the theory starts to fall apart. If however Adebayor decides to grow a beard I will be happy accept this as a genuine theory. Until then we must all just accept we think he's a c**t.

Talking of Harry Redknapp, a lot of questions are asked about where he got that twitch. One theory is that it’s from too much playing with his Wii willy winkle as a young boy, which would account for his use in the Wii adverts. This is no myth... as David Brent once said, 'fact'.

Why did Sol leave Notts County after one game? When asked, 'Was it the thought of playing in an out of date stadium, never having any real chance of winning anything and being cheered on by fans who had forgotten what is was like to be successful?' Sol replied, 'Yes. It was just like being back at Tottenham, and I just couldn't face the fact Arsenal might not save me this time'

I'm afraid there is still no answer as to why ITV continue to hire David Pleat.
