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.
It seems to me that some people are getting far too big for their own boots and are showing off because they know about clever stuff!
Gents and the odd lady, through the medium of this thread, I intend to lower the intellect to something I am far more comfortable with...the sharing of meaningless but truthful Arsenal nonsense!
I want to hear what bits of worthless tat you know about the glorious Gunners! My only stipulation is that its true or you believe it to be true for good reason.....obviously discount anything IHH has told you as this is drug enhanced ramblings of a mad man!
To start the ball rolling try this bastard for size!
Viv Anderson (apart from being a money grabbing tosser) had to have special boots made for him by Puma as one leg was significantly longer than the other! One boot had a heel inserted that also had a kind of shock absorber in it and this heel was then used in "normal" boots as part of the Puma SPA range!
Richie Powling was rehabilitating from a serious injury at the same place as my Dad was when he had a broken leg. Probably late seventies/early eighties.
Richie Powling was a famous Arsenal player (One for all you young guns out there tonight)

Yes, my old son - I am at the last station before drunksville. But before I arrive, Richie Powling may not have been famous (26may1989 you spoil everything ), but I think he learnt alot from my old man
I was going to say I remember Arsenal and Watford playing their two league fixtures one season on consecutive days over the Xmas break but I've tried checking that without success. So it's probably a figment of my imagination. Which is just as well, since I remember Watford winning both games.
OKAY, JUST THOUGHT OF ONE. TONY PARKES - THE ONE THAT HELPED TOTTENHAM WIN THE UEFA CUP IN 1984 AND CURRENT ENGLAND YOUTHS GOALKEEPING COACH - USED TO SIT NEXT TO ME FOR MATHS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL.
THE THING IS - AND HERE IS WHERE THE ARSENAL PART COMES IN - HE WAS A MASSIVE GOONER AND USED TO REGULARLY GET INVOLVED IN THE 'NAUGHTY STUFF' AND WAS OFTEN AT HIS HAPPIEST BEATING UP SPUD FANS, BEFORE HE SIGNED AND WENT ON TO BE A HERO FOR THEM!!
How's these for a couple of scintillating facts When Peter Simpson retired he took a job delivering soft drinks and one off the customers on his round was Arsenal FC. John Radford ran a pub in Bishops Stortford called The Greyhound and he had a drum in the bar with a note on that read "my name is Tottenham coz everyone beats me"
Cesc Fabregas was voted the player of the tournament at the 2003 FIFA Under-17 World Championship and won the Golden Boot with 6 goals! (Spain lost in the final)
Obviously Le Boss knew he was a goalscorer deep down
