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.
Not sure if people have seen this but it made me laugh out loud......Wrighty was talking to a Sky Sports podcast when he told the story about why Parlour was dropped from Hoddles England squad when the former Spud was manager....
Wright revealed on the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet : “[On England team faith healer, Eileen Drewery] The boss [Glenn Hoddle] got very spiritual and irate if you weren’t up for it [seeing the faith healer]. I remember Ray Parlour got blown out by him because he never takes anything seriously, and when you go in [to see the faith healer] you're sat there and she comes behind you and hovers her hand over you, and Ray Parlour said, ‘short back and sides please’ – she told Glen Hoddle and Ray was out [the squad].”

Romford has been telling that brilliant story for years. Surprised you are only hearing it now!
Glenda and his faith healer. Nearly as bad as his view that disabled people deserved it because they must have done something bad in a previous life.
An utter fucking wánker and ex scum too so a complete and utter fucking wánker.

Not being picked for an England squad when he was the best English player in the country in 1998 because the manager believed in the power of faith healers was absolutely fucking ridiculous and still is.
