Scum Run in

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.

What is the reason noone has ever wrote a book about the old days at Arsenal. Plenty of wanky books about all the other so called firms. Would love to read some stuff about the arsenal like the day EIE started at that away game up north[/quote]

There will never be a book,we were very very young and very cheeky but we gave all that shit up and left it where it belongs in the past and behind us.

Some of the people involved have gone on to be been actors ,company directors ,radio dj's,lawyers,head masters,shop owners and the like ,some are or work for major criminals and thus such attention is unwarranted.

The Bear was approached some years ago by Mr Pennant but was told a firm no ,and we have always asked these writers to keep us out of it . The first Book Steaming in by Colin Ward contained a Chapter on the coaches ,he had pics and all,after a word in his shell like it was dropped without further ado.

Most if these Books are pure Bullshit anyway and I laugh every time I see Cass Pennant on the TV or worse Dougie Brimson.

Martin King is another liar whose accounts differ from what I've seen and been at And people like Jason Mariner are just hangers on trying to cash in on the infamy !
These books remind remind me of the distortion from fact or book to film that Hollywood does to sell it to the public.

These books also Glorify violence too and as anyone knows real hardcore violence isn't funny at all ![/quote]

That's a shame Herd - apparently Danny Dyer is not too impressed with his support cast for his latest film and I was hoping you'd be stepping in mate, complete with full Stone Island clobber.

Or did you just tell him to "jog on, you mug"

:D :D

But is there not a difference between a punch up and proper violence? Or would you put the two together?

Don't get me wrong Herd I understand that people from back in the day don't want to talk about what used to go on but you can't complain about these books. There is an intrest amongst people about the subject and if the people who were there don't tell their stories or allow them to be published then things do get out of proportion and distorted.

There seems to be a conflict of interests amongst the people who were there, on the one hand there seems to be a agenda to keep the stories alive but on the other hand an agenda to keep names etc hidden. They stories of what happend back in the day are almost things of myth and legend with people's names whispered just in case somebody overhears.

Why not have a book on what happend, names can be changed etc why not put the record straight once and for all?

This gets worse if we are away when I often need to have have a radox bath on the return from the sh1thole heavily laced with dettol.
I hate them and they me ,I've been arrested more times than I liked to remember,mostly at the swamp however due to the imbecilic prosecution counsels they use @ Lordship Lane magistrates , I've walked on all of them .
I fail to understand why we even discuss them on this forum,free your minds from them, and liberate your souls !
They are and always will be inferior creatures ,pond life and pure vermin and not worth the discussion !
This is by far the best post I've read on this forum!! :D :D Glad someone hates em as much as me!! :barscarf: I'm no thug but I wish I was old enough to see arsenal in the 80's, Herd I'm jealous of you! I would have loved to have been on some expiditions with yourself, denton and the herd!! :box:
