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.

Seriously I had a teacher called Mr. Dwyer which in itself is nothing unusual but the difference was he was my German teacher and during class we had to speak German (of course) it always made everyone laugh when we had to call him Herr Dwyer
When I worked in London in 1991 I knew a plasterer called John Richard Head. Of course all his mates called him Richie and refered to him as Richard Head and (in the pub on a Friday night) Dick Head.
In his parents defence he claimed the word "dickhead" was unknown in England when he was born in 1960 and that he had a cousin called just "Richard Head" that everyone had refered to as "Dick" for years...
