Re: You as a fan of Arsenal FC.
Brought this back due to the fact there were some very interesting answers.
I am happy for any other mod to lock this (odds on it being my mate M-50 lol) but I think that as fans it's nice to read others views and give those who haven't added their thoughts the chance.

10. Which of the old grounds that no longer exist do you miss (not including HIghbury)

None - Can never get a bloody ticket!

Liverpool at home, unbeaten season, henry hat-trick. I was front row upper tier north bank, right behind the net, when Henrys 3rd went in the red bar across the front of the stand was shaking!! Never Heard Highbury that loud before!! Amazing just talking about it!!
13. Who for you is the greatest player to wear the shirt and why?
Henry, his skill was sublime and he loved us as much as we loved him.

£50m + To win the league we've got to seriously improve the quality of the sqaud.

Yes - The exit door will be wide open when Harry goes for all the big european fish to come and have their feed!

Not really, if it wasn't red rom then it would have been someone else.
