Sorry mate, you can pray all you like but he's off to Utd........

Phew, ol' Gherkin boy is off to Utshited!

Don't want or need that Sonia from Eastenders 'lookalike' anywhere near Arsenal!

Exactly, what a extremely watseful signing. Just what we really need I reckon...!

How that Piers Morgan article9hate him), sums up matters. Even bloody Alan Livery Bird Hansen sums up Arsenal.

It will probably all look great and good in ten years, when we are debt free and enjoying the fruits of Lord Wenger..!!

Not that there is 'one' so to speak but where's this years 'clique membership pack'? I've paid but I haven't received it yet?

your online dad said you were to immature to receive the clique pack sorry

Only on here would the signing of an england international who has won every major honour in english football and has still plenty of football in him be greeted with horror

Exactly what the hell is wrong with everyone. He would be coming to us on a FREE. If it doesnt work out then no worries. Yes he'll be on big wages, but Joe Cole on his day is very very good. Definitely worth a gamble.

There's no pleasing anyone on here!

FREEEE!!!!

I'd love to see him play for The Arsenal , but the problem is he's not going to sign for us.................

I appreciate what you are saying re break up the monotony but again isn't that what we have the basement for ? If it is a thread about Joe Cole then I still maintain that I don't see why it needs to be full of pages of jokes between people ? I mean if you want to break up the monotony and look at a pair of tits then start a new thread no ? The tits and arse thread ? Drunk or not, I still feel the same way as last night but I guess that's just a difference of opinon.

To be totally honest clockendal, there are times when it pisses me off also that a thread has gone off track, but like I said earlier, that's the nature of it and the way this forum has been since almost day 1. It's also one of the things that does differentiate this forum from most others.

We do try and keep the trivial stuff in the Basement or at least move it there once it's had an airing, but sometimes things just spring up (ooh, err!!!) from nowhere. If we were to take a firmer line (stop the tittering!!! ) within each individual thread and limiting it just to the actual subject matter, then eventually we'd be constantly deleting posts (even more than we already do) and pissing off the users.

Now I'll admit that I'm as guilty as anyone of throwing the occasional joke or pun into a serious thread - although never dirty pics!! - just because a previous post inspired it. I genuinely don't see any harm in that.

If we were to start a new thread every time we thought of something funny, there'd be thousands of them (okay, slight exaggeration. There'd be a load more). Also a by-product of that would be that serious threads would quickly slip down the page and be lost a lot of readers. If you think about it in another way, us 'funny guys' are actually doing the serious threads a favour by keeping them in the public domain longer!!!

Anyway, just to reiterate - THERE IS NO CLIQUE!!!! (And even if there was, we're not letting you in!!)

all this clique talk reminds me of the old days...which i miss

Fair enough mate, I know what you're saying. And agree it would be overkill maybe to be overly rigid regarding keeping a thread on topic...not sure what the answer is really. If it aint broke don't fix it I guess !

What, not even if I say please ?

Can you two stick to the topic please or get your own thread!
