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.

Might have something to do with the value of touring europa league sides not having the same appeal as champions league sides

Was hoping we'd play Colorado Rapids, as i'll be on the West Coast during the summer. Can't make it to NYC for this though, shame. Been to Red Bull Arena twice, fairly decent little setup there...

If Wenger signs the last thing I want to be reminded about on a nice Saturday summer is Arsenal.

Heard we've got a double header lined up in Scotland against Aberdeen and Rangers, that'd be great!
