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.
Now this is how you party, check out BFG's dance/swagger. Didn't know he had it in him.
I Hate Ozil...I mean Hleb, you might not want to watch as Ozil's in it and we know he's the worst player on the planet as far as you're concerned so just skip to the next post. For all others, enjoy.
Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco. Joined Hitler and Mussolini too.
Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers, helped O'Duffy to inlist his crew.....
The word came from Maynooth, "support the Nazis"
The men of cloth failed again
When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire
As they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain
Viva la Quinta Brigada
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside
Let us all remember them tonight

When you pair of retards get off wikipedia , do a bit of proper research and you'll find that O'Duffy is a figure of ridicule amongst most historians. Whilst O'Duffy certainly dabbled in fascist politics, most of the men that served in O'Duffy's Brigade were not fascists but conservative catholics who were brainwashed by the Catholic church with tales of communists killing priests and burning churches in Spain. It is also a gross over-simplification to characterise the Spanish Civil War as a purely Communist versus Fascist war. For example, many Basque Nationalists fought against Franco because they were devout catholics that loathed communism. Far greater numbers of Oirish men fought with the International Brigades against Franco. Indeed, far greater numbers also fought in the British army against the Nazis in WW2.

Some years ago I attended a seminar/lecture given by a chap who was part of the La Quinta Brigada - sadly he has now passed away - a real good bloke...and the things he spoke of reminded me of the Call to Arms - from Shakespeares Henry 5th Play...he had amazing passion even at the age of 80 something...
Great Song by Christy btw.....one of my faves after Ride On and his version of Burning Times

Could Scweinsteiger have dressed more like a German.
Topgoon,
If you are equating not being impressed with the majority of performances Ozil has thus far put in while wearing an Arsenal shirt and/or his world cup performances, with hatred, then you must really be a very stupid person who I consider not worth the time arguing with!! Get yourself a brain and then I may review that decision!!

If you like Garth brooks then I'll happily arrange for one of our lovely junkies to stab you with a syringe upon your arrival in our Fair city.
Everytime I think these FIFA crunts can't possibly make me dislike them any more than I already do, they somehow manage to push themselves even further up my shithead list. They are right up there with Ivan Gazidis now!!
