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.
Look at all those forward passes and through balls! Actual attacking football - With a mean defence to boot. And this was when we were 'crap'

In these times of mercenary millionaire players, corporate whore owners, pimped clubs, shit JCL fans, and generic LEGO stadiums, it's heart warming to remember just what a great club we used to be. Some brilliant images, lads. Keep them coming.
Absolutely! I'm also a nostalgic fucker as well and I'm not even an old fart yet
I have always been appreciative of the club's history and have been lucky enough to have seen more history being made, before things went sour.

Whenever I watch or read about the old stuff I can feel that passionate feeling burning inside me ... but as soon as I see anything in the Emirates era it is like a roaring flame having a bucket of water chucked on it. I was watching the Henry goals DVD the other day. Turned it off when the 06/07 season started. This era is just not Arsenal for me.
Yes. What a sad indictment of what the club has become
Brian Talbot. Still one of my favourite ever Arsenal players. Loved the way he ran, non-stop for 90mins flat out.
Did and interesting piece on .com. Some of the things he said about how that '79 cup winning team were allowed to break up and never replaced is similar to how the invincibles, on the brink of total domination were allowed to dissolve within a couple years. http://www.arsenal.com/news/features/20 ... ian-talbot

Such a good player, really underestimated during the early '80's.
Picture of my favourite home kit. That was the first Arsenal top I owned.
Watched the '02 cup final on Holiday and it made my week. I only found out after that part-time human and professional *word censored*, Tim Lovejoy came out with his infamous "it's only Ray Parlour" line afterwards. Classic.

Yes mate. Im one of the biggest moaners and complainers on here but I thought it'd be nice to have a nice, positive thread where we can all agree and celebrate the club for a change instead of moaning about things and arguing. UTA!
Could one of you youngsters explain how to post an image.
I thought it was obvious, but apparently not.
Joe:
Goggle the image you want, then copy the YouTube (for example) link once you've found it. Then, click the red 'video' box when you're posting a reply on the OG and paste it between the words: -
Preview your post to make sure the url is supported and you're good to go. If it's a still image you're after, then follow the same process but click the 'insert image' icon which is next to the asterisky looking thing and the handcuffy icon.

That's how I'm doing it anyhoo.
I see you have a pretty loose definition of the word "youngster" there, mate!

Life begins at 38.
Compared to some on here, who were witness to the inception of Magna Carta, I'm a veritable spring chicken.
Here is a video of Arsenal involved in a European final in 1994 (before you built the club). Alan Smith is about to score a ‘goal’ (not expected). After we scored this ‘goal’ we, as a team, practise something called ‘defending’. After the final whistle is blown we win something called a ‘European trophy’.
