As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
It is not uncommon for a fight among footballers to be referred to as "handbags". It is less common for it to actually be caused by handbags. But that, apparently, is what was behind the 1970 fight between Arsenal and Lazio players in and outside a Rome restaurant after a 2–2 Fairs Cup draw. The Italian club presented the visiting players with souvenir leather bags, which were derided as "effeminate". Arsenal's players started to throw the bags around the restaurant, but then a Lazio player grabbed one, threw it into Bob McNab's face and, in the words of Arsenal's Frank McLintock, "we all piled in. For a while, it was like the wild west". Uefa swiftly banned post-match socialising. "Looking back," the Arsenal defender John Roberts said later, "those purses were lovely." SB
Some very nasty chants by the West Ham fans at the Lane yesterday. FA going to investigate. "can we stab you every week" to " he's gonna get you Adolph Hitler is gonna get you" and the hissing sound . There were also chants of Lazio and Paulo di Cannio . Big Sam didn't hear it , bit like Rafa with his selective deafness.
