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.
next season we really need to have a proper league table that gets updated, and then at the end of the season nominate someone to go over to the "winning" team's most prominent message board and formally present the tophy, along with an explanation and link to our thread
I've got a bit of a soft spot for Wolves. Always played reasonable footy, and Derek Dougan (google him) was a real legend. I think they were fcuking ace today. Our stadium would have been virtually empty. Did you see the bloke with the walking stick finally giving up with about 10 seconds to go as hailstones the size of golfballs were bouncing off his head. TBH it takes a lot more to support a team like that through thick and thin, than to support the mighty Arsenal through our local difficulties. Respect, and shame on you lot!

Great idea. Lets get a proper points system up and running. I might even open a book on it

To be replaced by Reading. The definiton of "shit club no history".

11/10 Stoke City
i suppose we'd have to nominate songs and allocate them points (ie "same old arsenal, always cheating" would be worth whatever the top score is, with additional bonus points awarded if it's sung after one of our players has been brutally maimed) plus people would have to nominate themselves to keep score (anyone who has a season ticket near the away section and doesn't mind maybe having a draft text message open and ready to quickly and easily award points as they're earned? might get to be a chore though )
Song list for next year's official Little Club of the Year trophy. Fellow Gooners please feel free to add to the list. An essential list of points scoring little club songs has to include:
1. Yer gonna win fuck all
2. Same old Arsenal always cheating
3. We support our local team
4. Your support is fucking shit
5. Ee-aye, ee-aye, ee-aye o......up the Premier/Football League we go
6. He plays for ______, you send him off
7. Ing-er-lund, Ing-er-lund, Ing-er-lund
8. Twelve men, we always play twelve men
Other points awards for:
1. Chanting "wanker wanker" at players taking throws and corners
2. Cheering to the rafters when one of your players hoofs the ball into row z or makes a tackle in the first 10 minutes
3. Shouting "Who?" when a famous opposition player gets replaced
4. Your PA announcer plays "Hey Baby", Pigbag or Chelsea Dagger when you score a goal
5. You whistle loudly and chant "BORING BORING BORING" when the other team has the ball
6. Your team leads out to some bland 1980s / 1970s tune that you've decided to adopt as your own
7. After the match your interviewed manager constantly bemoans the decisions that 'the big clubs always get'
