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.

Parisiens are hated by the French more than they hate any English!! Everywhere you go (I live in the South West about an hour and a bit from the Spanish border), the locals call Parisiens 'Etrangers' (foreigners), it's actually quite funny to see. In fact, in my village there are people from Nice and Paris and they are lovely people but are all called 'Etrangers' by the locals. The locals are fantastic and have total respect for me and the missus and have really welcomed us. France is a fabulous country and the people have the right idea.......live a balanced life and don't take shit! Unlike the English who work work work, are obsessed with money and bend over and take everything that comes their way without so much as a strongly worded letter!! I do also think Paris is a bit of a dump mind you, but that's just the tourist areas of course, the same as most capital cities!
Oh, and the food here is bloody brilliant, I can get a 'menu of the day' in loads of restaurants here for between 10 and 15€, that's a fantastic 3 course meal for about a tenner!! Love it not to mention a very nice bottle of red wine for €4-€5......I prefer the local 'Madiran' wine which is superb!
Culchies, basically you are living among culchies. It's the same in Oireland. The muck savages down "the bogs" (anywhere outside Dublin) are almost overwhelmed with envy of us Dubs with our fancy electric light, internet, cars, indoor toilets, shoes etc., and so the swamp donkeys spend their miserable inbreeding, uncle-fucking, sister-marrying, animal-molesting lives hating us...
...and worshiping electricity pylons/light bulbs/passing motor vehicles/people with two ears.
