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.

Congratulations mate!
Golden rule to survive the first 3 months is sleep when the baby sleeps.
On our first I sat wide awake by her cot for about two days straight, just to make sure she was still breathing!

Lanesra is a good name, for either sex.

Thanks for the tips! Don't worry, she'll be raised a gooner
It's a girl so I've had to give up on my plan of Dennis and Thierry as middle names. Although it will probably be me that registers the birth...

Hopefully TOF isn't here by the time Junior reaches 18...
I didn't see the Forest game. I was just too tired to put myself through that mental torture. The result was better that expected
