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.
You think BB and donaldo wanted to finish 5th rather than 4th? Of course not, but they expressed their concerns on here. Because we scraped 4th with 3 or 4 games left in the season doesn't make you somehow superior to them, mate.
Maybe add a "winky" emoticon if this is supposed to be tongue in cheek - bacuse at the moment you look a bit of a cock tbh...
Quality nice guy. Tbf they will probably be happy they were prooved wrong, after all we all want whats best for the club.
So do you know if we will win the champions league yet?
Whoooaa hold up there a fuckin minute Mr. (not very) Nice Guy show me were in that thread or any other for that matter where I said that we were gonna finish fifth, I mean it show me in fact I'd like you to go thru my post history and show me anyone who is a bigger defender of AW or ther club as a whole than me!
I don't consider myself a rose tinter/eternal optimist but nor do I fall into the other category of realist/pessimist I can merely see what AW is trying to do and I am prepared to be patient, so IMO it's all about a balanced view and sayin Villa will draw here and lose there blah blah blah, without making even the slightest reference to the fact that we have the hardest run in of the lot is hardly pragmatic
I'm pissed off with this thread too nice guy - where the fcuk is my name when listing out the realists that should be eating the humble pie ? I was def one of those who predicted a 5th place finish and am so so very glad that I was wrong Mind you I did say that it would take a villa collapse for us to finish 4th and all credit to villa cos they really did collapse in some style
Anyway 4th place this season was more by luck than design and arsene must really buck up his ideas if this fight to barely finish in the top 4 isnt to become an annual event

Nice to see your all still as miserable as before!
Well maybe you require tips on conveying your sense of humour, we are dealing with the written word here and unless you use the emoticons, particularly when starting an (inaccurate) thread using members' names in the title over a post from 3 months ago then what do you expect???
I like 99.9% of the peeps on here or should that be 100% now that Smoothy's gone do have a sense of humour but if it's one thing that does piss me off it's when someone's poor attempt at humour doesn't come off and they blame the intended recipients
For what it's worth, I thought it was fairly obvious that Nice Guy was joking... hence my smiley emoticons in response to his thread.
I can understand why there was confusion, though.
To be honest, he comes across as a top bloke, so I tend to think the best of people like that anyway... maybe some posters who are less familiar with his "work" on here, quite understandably misread his intent.
Lesson learned.... USE FUCKING EMOTICONS PEOPLE!!!!!
Augie, a thousand apologies my friend. I'll bake a special cake just for you
And Belfast Boy, I am sorry you have taken a jpeg of a cartoon humble pie so badly. It was my understanding that this was the internet & forums were by & large, pretty laid back. I'll make sure that emoticons are used by the bucket load in future.
Fair enough, but it was probably the inaccuracy of the "joke" that actually set me off, you know I spend a lot of time defending AW and even worse, the board, and on the one post 3 months ago where I show any sort of inclination that I was worried that 5th could become a reality and even then it was only to remind others of our own run in when peeps were sayin Villa will drop points here and Villa will drop points there, and the next thing I see a thread title with my name in it for allegedly bein an unbeliever ah well never mind I s'pose
