Then, with three minutes remaining, Charlie George dispossessed Joe Kinnear before crossing to John Radford. His header was superbly parried by Pat Jennings but Geordie Armstrong turned the ball back into the middle where Ray Kennedy headed home off the underside of the bar. It was Kennedy’s 19th league strike of the season, yet in one sense it was somewhat irrelevant as the situation had not changed - a late Spurs goal would have denied Arsenal the title.
The hosts then forced a corner but the ever-present Bob Wilson claimed the cross.
The 1-0 win at White Hart was the undoubted highlight of a magnificent league campaign which included a nine-match winning streak between March and April. But the season was to get even better just five days later…

Any victory at White Hart Lane warms the hearts of Arsenal fans. But this one was something special.
On Monday, May 3, 1971, Bertie Mee s side travelled to the home of their local rivals for the final match of the league season. Arsenal, trailing Leeds by one point, knew that a victory or a scoreless draw would bring the title back to Highbury for the first time in 18 years. That was the longest three minutes I have ever known. As Tottenham came back I remember thinking that perhaps it might have been better had my header not gone in.

I recently read an interesting blog post by Bob Wilson. When I saw the title
What if Workers Comp Surveyed Like McDonald s? I heard Carly Simon in my head: You probably think this (blog) is about you, You re so vain. It wasn t, not any more than
Love Story was about Al Gore. Perhaps I am too vain, but the Wilson post coincided closely with our deployment of the 2021 judicial survey.

How Afghanistan’s President Helped His Brother Secure Lucrative Mining Deals with a U.S. Contractor
This article was written by our Investigator Zack Kopplin and was originally published here.
Afghanistan’s crags and valleys hold at least a trillion dollars’ worth of minerals, first mapped by Soviet geologists in the 1970s. Local warlords and foreign powers have plundered these deposits ever since.
The Taliban and other armed groups have battled both the central government and each other for control of the mines, using them to fund their insurgencies. Even former U.S. President Donald Trump coveted Afghanistan’s gold, lithium, uranium, and other mineral riches. In 2017, Trump was persuaded to keep troops in the country by its president, Ashraf Ghani, who dangled the prospect of mining contracts for American companies.
