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.

Giroud was not just static here, he was inert, stopped, gummed to the spot. Arsenal’s first-choice orthodox centre-forward is often described as providing a “physical presence” but it is hard to imagine a less bruising, less imposing, more glossily soft-touch 6ft 3in professional athlete in a contact sport. For footballers of this standard, being shunted around the penalty area by Giroud must be a bit like being whipped senseless with a wet tissue or battered into unconsciousness with a fondant eclair. Giroud was signed to replace Robin van Persie, before Kane the last high-class centre-forward in north London. His continued presence in this team is an indicator of the decay and decline
Will anything ever be said or written, that will be a better summation of this lazy French c.unt ? I have now got to the spot where I despise him almost as much as I despise wally
Whilst I agree with most of what you've posted there, can you stop using the word "French" in your rants please. What has his nationality got to do with it? If you think I'm over-reacting, just replace the word "French" with "Irish" or "black" and see if it is acceptable.
Is it cos I iz black ?
I refer to his nationality cos of the stereotype that is associated with the French arrogance - I have read many comments on here referring to the French stereotyping of waving the white flag just as they did with the germans in ze war. For me there is no difference in these comments

There is a huge difference in posting banter about the French surrendering and posting that someone is a "French cúnt" during an irate rant.

TAXI FOR THE LAMPOST!
Hope the door doesn't hit his arse on the way out. Any chance he could take Welbeck and Walcott with him?
