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.
Hello all, just thought I would introduce myself as I've just joined the Forum.
Been reading the Forum for a while now so thought I may as well join in the fun! I go to the vast majority of home games and try and do a couple of away games a season as well. I'm very much pro Arsene Wenger, I admire his philosophy on the game and always feel privaleged to have witnessed football from a different planet during his time as manager. However, i also recognise he has his faults, the biggest one being the centre back situation, but there you go, no ones perfect.
Anyway thats about it for now, I'm looking forward to entering the debate!
Thought id patch my introduction onto the fella's above - good timing!
Like the guy above im a long-time reader, first time debator!!
I consider myself a very positive supporter (even after Tuesday), but I dont mind pointing out my opinions on certain things, whether it be the people that leave ten minutes before half time for a £7 hot-dog and come back ten minutes into the second half, people leaving early for X factor, booing players, or the continuing inconsistency of Abou Diaby!!
Look forward to having a good chat about the Gooners!!!
Sorry for the confusion, we do know each other and are mates but definitely two different people and we aren't already on the Forum if thats what you are worried about.
O well, we may as well kick off things as we are both here! Shall we start with a slightly fun topic that might get some interest? Lets discount Sp*rs as its too obvious and we all hate them - outside those idiots wat team or teams do you dispise the most?
Mine is Chelsea, they are everything that is wrong with football
Without the money they would not have won the league - fact, I accept that they have gelled well as a unit to win trophies but would key players like Essien have moved there in the pre-RA days? Yet they are so arrogant with it. They hate the Mickeys with a passion, why? Because they knocked them out of Europe a few times and Chelsea thought they had a good-given right to win it!!
A club that does not know how to lose, that is even before Wednesday. They go on about "Fair Play" - what about Terry and Drogba diving everywhere? Remember Terry "giving us the ball back" at Stamford Bridge last year leading to the equaliser? What about the same bloke falling to the floor to win a freekick just before Drogbas goal in the Semi a few weeks back? A Club and England Captain that i frankly find embarrasing to be compared with TA, yet everyone in the country worships him.
Even now people like Kenyon and Buck come out with ridiculous statements about how they cannot understand why they are not "well liked" in the football community, I could give you a Fergie-Style Dossier mate!!!
A lot of the country was delighted when Chelsea got knocked out like they did, not least me!

oh and he says hello
Don't worry Radford, you won't get me posting any stuff about transfers, those rumours wind me up more than most.
haha the transfer thing is funny isnt it, just this morning ive seen us linked with about 6 different midfielders - one of which was Joey Barton, its worrying how some people think!!
Until its confirmed on Arsenal.com, i refuse to believe anything!!
