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.

Shouldn't be overlooked what hard work we made of some of those other games too. Clinging on desperately for 1-0 wins against the might of Fulham, QPR and Newcastle. Batten down the hatches once WBA bought on Lukaku at the hawthorns. Stealing 3 points off Norwich at home in the last 5 mins.
As you say, it was hardly the lightning fast, sweeping football of the early 00's where these kinda teams were 3-0 out of sight within 20 minutes.
Just a little update for Franksav and other interested parties. I spoke to my old man last night for the first time since the season started and I'm pleased to say he's still firmly in the AKB camp....in fact he seems more committed to There's Only One than ever before
He stayed till the bitter end of the Villa game, described everyone who booed as "modern day fans", still trusts Wenger to sign the players we need, will be there again tonight and even signed off with "I bet everyone regrets booing now we're in the Champions League". He even said that the United v Chelsea game proved that if went with Moyes or The Special One that we'd be signing up to boring football !
They may be getting smaller in their numbers but I can confirm that the AKB is not as yet an extinct species

Have you considered having him committed?
Personally, I would take him to Switzerland and visit an assisted suicide clinic, there isn't a court anywhere in the world that could convict you, he is clearly beyond help
