Re: David Dein

He was certainly one of the architects of the modern football most on here now complain about, made himself a new few quid out of Arsenal to boot, lets not forget he wanted to move us to Wembley, anyone thinking his return would turn around the club from its current course is mistaken

Re: THE WENGER THREAD

Anyone that thinks this will be his last contract is a fool, this depressingly could go on for years and years, I personally think we'll probably manage to scrape the Virtual Trophy next years, in which case I could see an extension around November 2018 if we make a reasonable start to the season, h...

Re: Championship playoffs

Got to agree about the semi finals being at Wembley is total shite

Had some great days out at Villa Park, Hillsborough, Old Trafford and even Stamford Bridge over the years :barscarf: :barscarf:

Re: THE WENGER THREAD

Apparently, he has totally dismissed working with a director of football in his press conference, this may irk certain members of the board, I wonder (hope against hope) if it annoys Stan enough for him to insist.

Re: Southampton (A) | PL | Wed 10 May 19:45

I don't see it as contradictory because my thoughts and feelings influence nothing to Arsenal PLC but i do realise what the consequences are of another Wenger 4th place . It’s always difficult to want the team to lose (or even draw) games and in the last few years despite wanting Wenger gone for ab...

Re: Cup Final info and who's sitting where

It’s sickening looking at these sites that amount to legal touting that want over £600 for a single bog standard lower tier ticket, at least back in the day touts had to stand out in the rain selling their wares and making at least a show of ducking the old bill and although I didn’t exactly approve...

Re: The Scum (A) | PL | Sun 30 Apr 16:30

Good point, in strange way these scum muppets are protected by the police obviously they know how far they can go without getting nicked so an ample opportunity to big themselves up, I know this was also the case at their Millwall cup match, does this go on down there at all their home games (I'm gu...

Re: The Emirates Cup is back.........yay

This has the potential to be a massive damp squib, or the start of an 'exciting new era' all of course depending on who the manager is

Re: The Scum (A) | PL | Sun 30 Apr 16:30

Depends when in the 80's your on about ,early eighties WHL wasn't nice got better and by the end of the 80's was a walk in the Park and was until the mid 90's when it started to get a little rougher ! Yes, puts it into context the April 1980 'petrol bomb' game would have made yesterday look like a ...

I feel very sorry for the poor sods who went . The Police simply stood by and watched whilst anyone identified was set upon by the hoards as soon as they left the ground .Some getting attacked at the exit doors where there was no protection whatsoever. Later they attacked the Blackstock and Twelve ...

Re: Is it time for a Summer Transfer Window Thread Yet?

Gazidis statement is finally confirmation that the club has no intention of competing for the top prizes, like we didn’t know all along, Stan now has something to blow the money we earned on (his new LA Rams project) That’s why TOF has been kept in place all this time and WILL be offered a new contr...

Re: Is it time for a Summer Transfer Window Thread Yet?

Now doubt the TOF is enjoying his jolly up back in France and getting paid a princely sum for watching some football on top of the huge salary he is still coining in from Arsenal The Vardy situation is a dream for him, gives him his usual "we tried to sign him" to be followed by "ther...

Re: Goodbye to the Boleyn

The usual bollocks about best fans in the world, fantastic atmosphere, went several times in 80s, both as an away fan with Arsenal and with West Ham mates for other games occasionally and it was nothing special, it could be noisy at times but nt different to anywhere else, certainly not worthy of th...
