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.

"Here, lads, lets go and smash something up when we go to Arsenal"
"Fucking mint plan that like Mario, we'll find the busiest home pub and we'll go in swinging, tear the fucking place up"
"The pub?"
"Aye, why not?"
"Well, yer knaa, there's blokes and that, they might have had a drink, there's every chance we'll get our belts off and that and they'll take them, smash a glass off our heads, whip our arses with the belts and hoy us through the windows"
"Oh aye, fuck, that doesn't sound very good, but we're ultras, what else can we do?"
"I know"
"What?"
"Let's target a pie shop"
"A fucking what?"
"Yep, we'll charge in, take some chairs off some lasses, attack the place whilst everyone is having a pie and then we'll leg it"
"You've nailed it there mate, hard as fuck us, FORZA NAPOLI"
I am literally crying laughing reading this. Fucking post of the year safcftm. Seriously I reckon there is a sitcom in there somewhere! Superb work, mate.
Have to agree with others here, if that was Ingerlish club fans doing this shit so regularly there would be blue fucking murder from the Poodle and his fellow shitheels at UEFA. The fucking Turk and Italian fans seem to have a free licence to roam Europe stabbing at will.
As much as I hate ALL hooligans I was hoping to hear that some old skool Arsenal had rallied round and given these cretins a nice Norf Londaaahn welcome after they went into a fucking cafe mob handed. I don't condone hooliganism but I certainly fucking condone defending yourself and others from cuntbags with belts and knives.
also is their a reason italians stab people in the arse other than it being a safe place of knifing somebody? (ie not gonna be up for any murder charge) quite an odd bunch, remember them stabbing up some red scouse a few years ago and in the return leg got ran all over liverpool by the local chavs
This comes from the development, over many centuries, of the key Italian military strategy of running away (later emulated to good effect by the French), thereby only leaving your fast disappearing arse as a target for the enemy.
There was panic recently among the top brass in the Italian military, when a fire in the white flag factory threatened to wipe out their defensive capabilities.

Not sure where they started out, but they came out from Liverpool Road past Phibbers on the corner about 7pm. They were chanting away, a couple of gooners started chanting Arsenal, Arsenal and then the next thing chairs and tables flying everywhere. I was about 50 yards away and it didn’t last more than about 30 seconds before the police arrived and they all disappeared in all directions. At the time didn’t think they had actually gone in to Pierbury corner, just lobbed stuff from outside. Completely unprovoked from what I could see.
I assumed more was going off elsewhere because police vans were racing up and down Holloway Road but fortunately not heard of anything else happening.
ps: Actually there was an Ultra Swansea fan giving it large after the game on saturday - shouting 'You'll win fuck all' at passing smiling Gooners, you could tell he was a Jack Ultra because he had his scarf/bandana over his eyesand kept falling over ultra p*ssed...

Cos they knew what was at stake. And no kidding, those napoli fans need a good seeing to. What can you do when they all pile in?
I seriously must ask why they haven't banned Italian clubs from European competition by now? Can't go one match without a bunch of Ultra's attacking fans or smashing places up? Do UEFA seriously think forcing matches to be played behind closed doors solves the issue?
Granted we've not had another Heysel on our hands, but I wonder if it's only a matter of time. Especially if there is no policing going on.
After the Sp*rs game, there were a few of the scum fans trying to provoke Gooners outside Arsenal tube station, they were spitting, pushing and trying to provoke fights, my Dad tried alerting the police and they just looked back at him and did nothing,

It's an absolute shame that they did this, as the select few who did cause damage are just giving their more mature fans a bad name. It really is a shame because during games, their fans create an amazing amount of noise.
