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.
Sorry lads for my post last night, may I say first that whilst delighted with England's exit from the tournament, I can say cetegorically that I have no ill feeling towards the English people themselves.
I spent 5 happy years working in Swindon and made many good friends there, some of whom I am still in regular contact with.
My sister is married to an English man, an ex-Raf engineer and a nicer man you could not meet.
So I am truly sorry for any offence my drink fuelled post may have caused. And I can think myself lucky for not being banned.

Have to admit, sid - I was shocked and disappointed. I've issued a warning, and tbh if you hadn't apologised so unreservedly, it would have been a ban.
This bit's not aimed at you sid but the forum in general; It's a shame that the Euros, this supposed celebration of football, has brought so much bitterness and xenophobia to this forum. Sooner it's over the better.
I'd echo what our dublin midget said except the banning bit cos obviously I am not a mod after being cruely overlooked yet again so have no power to ban anybody

We had to draw the line somewhere. And that line was drawn at six-toes-on-each-hand bald bastards. Sorry.
None needed as far as I'm concerned,lets not get too sensitive here Chaps .
I fully expected some ribbing from those less fortunate with their birth country .

Blimey! What did you do to deserve that? Now I understand where last nights vitriolic rant come from.

So basically what you're saying Sidney is your are apologising for the "FACT" that yer sisterr's being knobbed by an Ingerlishman, you had to endure 5 years of sufference in that shytehole called swindle - yes you were mate ...you WERE!...and that you can't handle your drink!?....no wonder you're such a miserable barstweard !
To be honest i was one of the first people to respond to your outburst Sid and i took it with tongue in cheek by replying in the manner it was i thought intended as a wind up.
Because of who you are and what you have contributed to this forum and that you are not on my warning radar i let it go. That maybe down to a lack of experience moderating or the fact that i am not too precious and understand people and emotion.
As an Englishman and a proud one at that, i still took great joy in watching A. Cole miss his penalty....i for one feel you have done the honourable thing, but i also understand that you are a person who likes to have a little mix up....its ok by me.
Lastly, i didnt personally edit the comment as perhaps i should have done, but......sometimes the truth hurts

Actually if previous form is anyhting to go by Sid, you'r4e probably next on the 'Make A Perfect Mod' list.
