Re: The, "now we have an extension" TRANSFER THREAD

I have barely posted on this forum for two or three years, but, for what it's worth:

Welbeck can hold the ball up well. His displays for England have demonstrated as much.
He is 23 - so, many years ahead of him.
He is more likely than, let's say, Balotelli, to gel with the team.
A matter of weeks ...

Re: The Big Wembley Fa cup semi final party !!

As a local, I can recommend 'The Preston', on Preston Road.

It sells beer, not just lager, and decent food.

Re: Manure game tube strike.

There are plenty of buses serving Holloway Road and Upper Street. You can get to Kings X on the 30, from St Paul's Road, amongst others.

Re: Young Guns Enclosure - Ridiculous!

I reckon that this enclosure is the best idea the club has had in years - giving the kids a chance to see football they'd otherwise be priced out of.

I'm sure most of us here can recall standing on the North Bank for a fiver...

Suarezis a grade A c**t and will score bags of goals but will remain a grade A c**t.

I don't like the c**t and don't particularly want him here.

I am starting to despise the victims more than ever.

But I actually don ...

Re: Do you want Luis Suarez?

The main reason that I don't post on here very often any more is that comments can sometimes descend into abuse.

Thank you Highbury JD, Perry & Schwartz.

Yes.

Re: Do you want Luis Suarez?

No.

I will respect the views of those who say yes, but will disagree for the following reasons:

1.) Whether or not his comment was an attempt to provoke Evra is irrelevent; he made the comment and racism cannot be defended.
2.) There are no 'cultural differences' to hold up as an excuse; many ...

Re: O'Neill and Warnock leave

A fine response.

With regard to the Anglo-Saxon comment; I didn't make that very clear. What I was doing was having a sideways dig at those who claim to be 'English' over 15 generations - nobody is, as we are all immigrants. I didn't know you we're Irish, not that that should matter at all, but ...

Re: O'Neill and Warnock leave

Augie,

I've always had time for your views, whether in agreement or not, but this staggers me.

Why do you assume that anyone needs the media to decide whether they approve of fascism or not? This statement is patronising at best, and deeply offensive at worst.

I know nothing about you - which ...

Re: ROCKY REMEMBERED

What I loved about David Rocastle, aside from him being a great player, was the fact that he always looked as if playing for The Arsenal was the ultimate honour. Even when his form dipped, he always looked as though he would battle to the finish.

Best memory? Littlewoods Cup Final '87...

Re: O'Neill and Warnock leave

So, to object to fascism is 'fascist '?

And to object to the EDL, a group who advocate violence against Muslim children amongst others is 'idiotic'?

Blimey...

Re: O'Neill and Warnock leave

If Di Canio doesn't idolise Musolini, why the tattoo?

Mussolini advocated racial superiority and segregation, as Chippy says. The comments in his book are clearly racist - not those repeated here.

One final point - The Arsenal have more Jewish supporters than any other team, and the most diverse ...

Re: O'Neill and Warnock leave

Di Canio is a fascist - he's got an 'Il Duce' tattoo for all to see, he devoted a section of his autobiography to his right-wing beliefs, and he has made that salute on a few occasions. The EDL, who tried to organize a demonstration in Sunderland on Saturday, must be rubbing their hands with glee ...
