It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Why

Post by corkbarry »

The most users ever online here was 344 on the 25th Jan 2011 at 3.51. We beat Ipswich 3 0 in the carling cup semi final later that evening.

Is there another reason why there was so many online?l

Good question, Barry :? :?

We didn't sign anyone and it was the middle of a working day. As you said, we played Ipswich in the Carling Cup semi-final later that night, but still...? :? :?

We loaned out Eastmond to Millwall on that day:

So all the Gooners rushed over here to express their feelings over this sensational loan deal. Mystery solved... 8) :lol:

Ah, thanks Red - I knew there would be a sensible explanation. I can sleep easy now. Eastmond - of course! :roll: :lol:

I seem to recall your good son REB (or Rebel Gooner as he was back then) posted a particularly fine tit thread that day.

Just saying. :wink:

Sorry Mods & Gooners - Off Topic I know, but what with all the transfer madness, I wanted as many people to see this as possible:

Tomorrow, MPs start debating the gagging law. [1] The government wants to rush it through parliament. [2] Our best hope of stopping them is to make sure MPs realise just what a dodgy law they are being asked to vote for. Please can you email your MP now and help build the pressure?

If passed, the gagging law would have a chilling effect on our democracy. From May 2014, draconian new rules would prevent non-politicians from speaking up on the big issues of the day. A huge range of campaign groups and charities – everyone from The Royal British Legion, to Oxfam, to the RSPB - are warning about the threat this poses. [3]

MPs need to know we won't stand for this – so please take a minute to email yours before Tuesday's debate:
https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/gagging-bill-MPs

It’s telling that so many groups who wouldn't normally agree with each other have united to oppose the gagging law. Groups that speak out in favour of hunting, windfarms, HS2 or building more houses are joining together with groups who say exactly the opposite. [4]

That’s because there’s one thing we should all be able to agree on: in a healthy democracy, everyone should able to express their views. And everyone should be allowed to get organised to highlight what politicians are saying and doing on the issues that matter to them.

Politics is too important to leave to political parties. When we speak up about decisions that affect us and the future of our country, we can often change things for the better. Are politicians really so arrogant as to think the UK would be better off if all these groups were blocked from campaigning?

Let’s come together quickly and tell MPs that this gagging law must not be passed. The first vote is on Tuesday, so please email your MP now:
