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.

So today I got the whole sum of one pair of slippers
Truth is I want to get her tons of stuff but she is going in for an operation on the 30th of this month and as much as I am a flippant individual and could say this is selfish cos it ruins my new year celebration arrangements I could only think of something for the hospital.
The other truth is I'm scared shitless, I moan about her and sometimes argue with her and at the worst wish I was on my own, but she is my only love, we met on a blind date 24 years ago when I was a mere sprogget, she is the only girl I ever loved and I can't imagine being without her.
To bring a bit of perspective to this football lark as I am an avid gooner myself, my wife's auntie died last Monday, her father is on his last legs in his mid sixties (a makem) so we are waiting for the dreaded call from 300 miles up the road and the wife herself has this operation coming up and she doesn't let it interupt mine or our sons Christmas, she is her usual bubbly beautiful self.
What a lady.
Sorry lads, had a drink or two, I shall be watching arsenal tomorrow and going mental but if we lose I won't be getting as down as I would normally.
Merry Christmas from me the missus and my boy
Lefty, never apologise for being human and having emotions mate

Cheers Augie, means a lot mate, have passed all of the wonderful gooners messages onto her and she is made up and had a tear or two, she is tough though and will be ok I know it.

All the best fella.
Cheers Stu, we all like to think we are tough fuckers and nothing affects us but truth is we just hold it back until it eventually breaks out unexpectedly.

And talking about things (or even putting your thoughts / feelings down on here) is far healthier than bottling it all up mate, believe me. pm any time if you need to offload.

Your very kind Stu and I may well take you up on that, weird thing is I work for myself and haven't told any customers although have known some of them for 15 years +, even today a customer asked me to do some work on the 30th and I said I will check my diary but that's the day of the wife's op, I just don't want to share that with them, strange really.
