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.

From the BBC:
Croatia rose to the occasion in their crucial Euro 2008 defeat of England - after an apparent X-rated gaffe by an English opera singer at Wembley.
Tony Henry belted out a version of the Croat anthem before the 80,000 crowd, but made a blunder at the end.
He should have sung 'Mila kuda si plania' (which roughly means 'You know my dear how we love your mountains').
But he instead sang 'Mila kura si planina' which can be interpreted as 'My dear, my penis is a mountain.'
I am leaving this forum to make of the above what you will.......

This is quite a common mistake - the other night during the same game my mate thought I said:
"You know, Frank Lampard is a great player and I do not know why he gets so much stick?"
When what I actually said was:
"If that fat *word censored* can play for England so can I"
It's easy to see how these things happen.

Strange the same happened to me. My mate said Steve McClaren is such an underrated manager he just had bad luck and what came out was CRUNT!!!!!

Great, one of the few anthem singers who can get their voice heard and he blunders it

most of the guys on here only speak a little conversational croatian CC, to notice a slip like that we'd have to be fluent, like you.

on reflection, probably wasn't overly bright admitting to knowing the word penis in croatian?
