In the shovel. Pentonville Nick. FA Cup Final v Chelsea 2002. It's only Ray Parlour!!! There's was loads of chavs and spuds on the remand wing who got abused that day.
And I got a Not Guilty the week after.

Watched the 5-0 against Porto in Taipei after a long night out and in the middle of the most insane rainstorm I've seen in my life. Made England seem like the Costa del Sol by comparison!

Pv's debut, out of mind on cheap shots in some dumb in Majorca. 4-1 against Wednesday I think, happy days, he was awsome that night.

At home, with no distractions...years ago I would always go into the Dublin Arsenal Supporters Club for games, but the superfan element became tedious..Go to another Dublin pub and it's full of loudmouths who support (loose description of word) Man U , Victims or Celtic .

lots of great places to lots of great wins, but the one that sticks in my memory was our worst defeat.

August 2011 - Manchester United away...

got a superb spot in a beach bar in the Greek Islands. great atmosphere.

then the goals started going in. I remember texting some friends back home when they got 7 that I would jump in the sea if they got 8 :lol:
that was a very wet and depressing evening... :D

Yeah, perfect description of the sorry saga of Dublin Goonerdom, buddy. :| :(

Best TV location for me was nuts deep doggy style in the girlfriend of the time, can of ice-cold beer in hand, a line of Colombia's finest up my nose, Arsenal jersey on... sometime in about 1991... just always wanted to do it that way. I know, classy. 8)

Sweet. 8) I remember watching the famous Kanu hat trick chav game in a pub in north Dublin called The Swiss Cottage and it was full of Oirish Manure fans, Mouser fans and a table full of mouthy as fuck scum fans. The Swiss could be rough the odd time and deffo had a knacker element in it but it was a good spot for a few beers and to watch live games. This was back in the day when we would wear jerseys to the pub to watch games if we were not over for them, so there were obviously a few "friendly" exchanges... also no chav fans to be seen, unlike now... :oops: :roll:

When the chav went two nil up the fucking vermin sitting in front of us went mental - I thought the scum had won a trophy or something! Of course we all know what happened then with Kanu getting cult hero status for his hat trick. :D 8) When the third one went in I couldn't resist and just leaped right into the middle of the scum and was yelling and jostling them. It was fucking hilarious, they didn't know what to do. Only afterwards one of my mates said he was shitting it as he thought they were gonna kick off but fuck em they were vadges and all mouth. :lol: :box:

Didn't Gary Lineker say " who worries about a flood when you have a Kanu?" or something similar on MOTD?
