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.

In the same respect the way Barca publicly tap up players isnt the way to do it either. Two wrongs dont make a right and we should stop crying when Barca come out with their shite as we arent innocent
fuck ethics and morality. they signed the fucking contracts. They wanted to go so it ain't stealing . Theres no such ethics in football , tapping up on the other hand is classless and illegal .
Lets not get into whats classy and whats not Again making it publicly clear we wanted Chamakh for 12 months but refusing to stump up the cash and waiting till he leaves on a free is unethical and tapping up so again we aint squeeky clean
I'm not saying we are but did we force an arsenal shirt on chamahk and claim he wants to leave ? Barca are the hypocrites here by claiming breach of ethics despite what we are doing is- LEGAL, which I think (could be wrong here) means its fine therefore deemed ethical . I never said we are squeeky clean.
Look, if I had a ***** in front of people at a bus stop I'd be arrested, ok? Therefore it is automatically deemed as unethical.
However if I had a ***** in the privacy of my own house over having sex with kingjase it might be unethical to you but its legal
I like Stewart Downing he's a good player... but he wouldn't fit in with us because he's a real wide man who can actually cross a ball..
Also he's playing well, is English, is proven in the premiership, isn't a teenager, isn't a free transfer and won't be going on the cheap...so i think we can rule him out because he doesn't fit in with any of Wengers criteria for new signings...
