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.
The whole "English" thing has been hijacked by racist mongs and brain dead Engerland fans for too long. It's time that you, the genuine decent English (and Gus ) took it back.
I find it ridiculous that you cannot show your own flag in a stadium in your own country.
National pride does not equal racism or xenophobia.

Exactly, if any country in the world has acommodated other nationalities beliefs including religion, customs, dress etc it is ours and now we are the racist ones? Don't get it
I have a massive family, 8 sisters, four brothers, 27 nepews and nieces, I have indian, jamaican and scottish (thats were i draw the line, only joking ) brothers/sisters in laws and openly love them all but I AM ENGLISH and I love my country, it certainly doesn't mean I hate others.
It is a sad state of afairs and a sad time that we live in that a person can not fly the flag of his or her birth with pride. You can blame Arsenal football club for this but the real offenders are the people who complained with a little common sence from these people none of this problem would of happend.
The slatting Arsenal recived the other night on talk sport did these fans who moaned about the flag think about the conciquencies before they said anything, when Arsenal made the ruling about all national flags didint these fans think for one second 'perhaps this has gone abit far'.
'A sledgehammer to crack a nut' but if Arsenal football club were to ban one national flag they would have to ban all national flags, to alow one national flag they would have to alow all national flags. The PC brigade would of had a field day at Arsenals expence if they had banned one flag and not others while on the other hand the media(talksport) have had a field day because they did ban fnational flags....Dammed if they do and dammed if the dont.
If by any chance the people, the two sets of fans who started this all off are by any chance reading this PLEASE PLEASE WITHDRAW YOU COMPLAINT and perhaps we can all get back to showing our National flags with PRIDE
