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 was only really young when I heard about it, so the whole idea of the 'pre-emptiveness' freaked me out....
Ram mate I'm sitting here having coffee with a neighbour of mine and he's a Manc,(City) and he's just found your last post highly offensive. I'm sure you didn't mean it as such, but please choose your words more carefully my friend.
Many apologies to your friend, I never meant for any offence to be caused.
I even took 5-10 minutes on that post to sure it didn't sound offensive, what with this being such a topic as it is...
Just for interest sake, was it the anagram that offended? Because those aren't my words at all, just the words of the person who told me, who said they were the words of a newspaper article from the time.
I was thinking the exact same thing. He was a professional footballer who had to stay fit to keep his job pretty much. If someone like that can suffer a heart attack, what chance do I have??
makes you put things in perspective. it's so sad when someone dies that young. I hope that liecester player makes a full recovery. even though footballers are professional athletes they are still human beings and with increasingly hectic playing schedules i fear that things like this happening will only become more commonplace.
