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.

Yes it does matter to me, these are the London games, Paris failed in their bid.
Same sentiment here. Some traditions are good. Some are just annoying.
I assume you're both annoyed when English is used in pretty much every environment even if the Brits aren't involved. Think about it for a second. In Beijing English was before mandarin. In all Euro football English has precedence over the local language, etc etc

Yeah, the event is a quality double entendre-fest. :lol:

Though in fairness you'd have to be a bit fucked in the head to get arroused by the man-beasts in the "women's" events... as in - her beard went all the way from her chin to her bollocks...

:shock:
