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.
I was watching the Newcastle v 'pool game in the 49ers bar without much interest, as it was so one sided.
It got to half time and the showed a guy - well atired - but obviously in distress and being led to his seat, with a blanket etc.,
My initial reaction was that it was Jackie Milburn or someone similar. Turns out it was Sir Bob.
Football - as we all know - is full of self seeking, avaricious, nasty characters who are unlovely to a man. This reminded me of how bad things are for Sir B and what a fine fellow he is - and always has been.
A credit to the game right from his earliest days at Fulham and Ipswich.
Let's hope everyone here and beyond remembers that.
