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.
I'm gutted his managerial career went nowhere. I even followed his results with Gabala, hoping he'd rehabilitate his manager reputation.
He should be at the Arsenal in some capacity, but we know The Old Fraud wouldn't allow that.

Get well soon
Absolutely. That 90s side had ten times the charisma and likeability this current lot have.
He'll be fine. I had the same thing five years ago after a heart attack I didn't know I'd had (seriously, not that uncommon apparently). Now I'm told I'm as good as new but with a couple of lifestyle changes and a daily aspirin. I was never anywhere near as fit as Tony so I'm sure he'll bounce back in great shape.
Seen tony on football legends last night on sky. A fantastic watch and a very emotional one as well when he talks about his times with the club and his battle with the booze, and how he was tanked during a lot of the matches at times when rioch was in charge. Even Lee Dixon got emotional during the interview as he explained how tony knew lee was getting skinned in one match and he all did was say to him, "lee your one hell of a defender", lee then went on to say It was the nicest thing anyone in football has ever said to him about his playing ability. I know some on here judge Tony for his life outside of the club and his noted problems but in terms of arsenal football club he will always be Mr. Arsenal to me. It was the first league trophy I ever seen the club win and ill never ever forget this image as long as I live
