locking a thread

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.

Buying tickets with intent to resell at horrible prices is nothing but wrong, but there are ways of explaining this to the next man. If on the other hand we caught some scumbag with a systematic approach to this I wouldn't mind throwing one in myself :box:
No need to be mantis' minder, mate - I'm sure he realised what he was getting in to and if not, why not. Plus "limit the punches"? If you don't want to get punched, don't get in the ring. :lol:
Just trying to save my own ass from being called a "modern football fan" here :lol: So afraid of this derogatory expression that I'm beginning to wonder whether that might be what I really am :shock:
