Arsenal Fan from India

Arsenal Fan from India

Post by Rafales »

Hello Gooners,
Hi to all Gooners and Very Happy to be here. I'm a Gooner for the past 6 years and that will remain for the Rest of my Life. I came to know about EPL 6 years back and from day one I started liking Arsenal and soon I became an Arsenal Fan. :D

I know a little bit of Arsenal History but not like British Fans who are experts and know the full history right from the beginning.

I Hope to contribute as much as I can.... :D :D

I don't know British Version of English.....But I will try my best to post in Good English Language.

Sorry for my Bad English...

Welcome to the forum rafales. it's a good life round these parts. I wouldn't worry about your english, firstly we have plenty of support from abroard and we care not so much about the words as the spirit behind them, secondly from what i've seen so far your english is perfect, the only difference with the british version is that we use more slang. apples and pears guv'nor :wink: :lol:

There are lot of Arsenal Fans in India and Abroad (Excluding England). But in India Cricket is the main sport so its hard to see people speaking about Football and Arsenal.

And since I come from an conservative family I'm not able to express my love for the club openly. For example If Arsenal scores a goal I just rejoice within myself and I don't express it openly as my parents object it.

In spite of all the worries in my life the one thing that gives me happiness and joy is Arsenal. Nothing can stop me from supporting Arsenal. There are 2 thing that will always come with me. One is my Soul and the other one is Arsenal. :)

I can literaly see the smoke coming out of your ears! A few more and I think you're going to explode all over this site...

You are surely familiar with the mass migration of helpless souls to the club shop, being devoured and left penniless by the beast.

Welcome - Please don't show your parents this site as it sounds as though they will be rather displeased with us!! Going to be a bad influence on you! :)

And you say "For example If Arsenal scores a goal I just rejoice within myself and I don't express it openly". This is great because that's exactly how many of us Arsenal fans support their team already, so you are in good company! :lol: :wink:

Dear God.

I really really hope you are not being sarcastic there. As little as I think of you now, if you are taking the p*ss because the chap is from India and his use of English is a little more formal than your own, then that is unforgivable. Seriously, sober up and take a long look in the mirror at yourself.

Racism is the last resort of the ignorant. :twisted:

I hope I am misjudging you and that you are actually genuinely complimenting him on his excellent English. Somehow, I doubt that though...

Sad really. Especially given the "grasp" of English yourself and your fellow manure types displayed on here recently. :oops:
