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.
Very amusing man. Typical blunt Yorkshireman. Tells it straight.
Had a go at referees. Reckons they are quite happy to punish fouls. As long as they are outside the box. At which point, they bottle it. Don't want to award penalties.
I reckon he's correct.
You see defenders wrestling people to the ground. Pulling shirts. Stepping on feet. Anything to stop the attacker jumping for the ball. It goes unpunished 99.9% of the time.
Met him once when we went to his pub in Thaxted back in the early 80s, The Greyhound I think it was called. Don't spose he still runs it now tho. What you say is what I remember about him, a very funny man with a very dry sense of humour and still loves the Arsenal. Wish we had a few more of his kind playing for us today.
Good to meet you and your daughter before the Wigan game too oldgitgooner
Good to meet you, too.
Might see you again for the Liverpool game. I'm gonna be in London anyway. Haven't got a ticket yet. I'll try my luck at a pub or two.
I sat in Peter Hill-Wood's seat. Arsene's seat (number 13). Walked through the player's tunnel. Dressing Room. Loads more.
At £35, it's a good Christmas present for any Gooner. You get a goodie bag and John poses for photos and signs his photo, too.
We were supposed to get Charlie George, but he did a sickie when he lost all his money on the horses.
Funny, I did a tour of Highbury in 2005. We were meant to have Paul Davis, but he threw a sicky so we got... Charlie George! Brilliant Christmas present I agree.
