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.
Strange i know,but im bored and i havnt seen anything like this done before. So,do you wear our colours on a matchday?? I think anyone over the age of 15/16 shouldnt wear them,dont ask me why,iv just always thought that. Il probably get gunned down now,but i dont mean dont buy them,i mean wear to a game.
Same here,i used to wear colours but not now,think it looks strange. Yeah im an old skooler too I wear Fred perry,Pringle,and the the like. You feel more comfortable,and less tatty if thats the right word
prefer to wear an arsenal polo shirt but do like to wear something arsenal going to games,
im 40 now and wore the away shirt my last game
but i think this will be my last year buying a repilca shirt
i feel good when another gooner looks at me, coz im following Arsenal when not in the ground, lol, i got the train up to old trafford in the league wearing my colours, no problems.

I'm good ta.
Yep I understand fully, methinks in the past we all looked like we had class and style (rose tinted glasses maybe!!)

Good good.
Yeah i agree tottally. When you see pissed up 40/50 year olds stumbling around pissed in Arsenal shirts its like
The shirts just feel tacky nowadays,cant beat getting ready and putting on your crisp new Pringle jumper on in the winter and your Henri Lloyd jacket,gives you an extra buzz,i feel anyway.
But i can understand why people do wear colours to games.
I have never been able to understand the wearing of colours (altho each to their own, before I need a flak jacket) to a game. I think its the way it was for all my mates when I first started to go to football purely because of the climate of the era, if you understand where I'm coming from
It makes me feel good, as you say, to get dressed and look smart casual to go to my Arsenal.
I'm in my mid-20s now, but I always go to games in my Arsenal shirt, shorts, socks and even a pair of clean Gola football boots... without studs, obviously (I'm not stupid )
My theory is, if Arsenal are a player short - for whatever reason - who are they going to ask to fill in? the guy who's already wearing the full kit.. or a guy in jeans and a jumper? It's a no brainer

Good theory, do you think that would work for us birds too??

Yeah i understand what your saying,and agree completely with you.
Agaisnt WBA i saw a bloke,not a junior gunner or a kid,a man in his mid 20's wearing a captains armband,and i was like
They should ban people over the age of 16 to wear football shirts to games.
That is a joke before everyone tells me to go support the Chav Crunts or the Shite down the road (i wont use the offensive name)
