I quite like it, C. None of those beastly Britishers putting our back 4 under pressure. A young black winger doing the biz coming from the yoof team, not costing 70 millions. And Auba showing he's about 3 or 4 divisions above everyone else on the pitch.
Maybe we should move to Germany after Brexit. Come 2nd to Bayern and make the CL most years.
Basically, I'd rather beat the Dog and Duck instead of drop points at Watford.
I mean, even Mustafi found this level to his liking.
The dignity left when we got owned by the Septic. It had been going since we left Highbury and got that green dinosaur.
But how can we even pretend to be dignified with the Septic appointing Dick to manage us?
Let's embrace it, C. Let's move to Germany, come 2nd to Bayern and play in the CL.
No more Sperz, Chavs, Scousers, Mancs and beastly Watford to worry about.
I do like the way everyone's now starting to see that I've been right all along. That big, green, choker-wearing, Jurassic Park cash-in, theropod **** has been an embarrassment since day one and his appearance was always the thin end of the wedge.
For me, he bears far more responsibility for the current state of our club than Kroenke, Gazidis and Emery put together.
It's a man named Rex
Acshurely, builders working on the North Bank sanitation/renovation to make it all-seater discovered an egg of gigantic proportions which subsequently hatched to reveal Gunnersaurus
It's in the history s it must be true
I would like to ask Monty when he was a ballboy and if he can remember the games
(Guessing late 80s)
1991
Austria Vienna (6-1)
Sheff Utd (4-1 possibly?)
Chelsea (3-2 possible?)
Can't remember the 4th game.
If you can find a video of the full Austria Vienna game, you'll see me leaning over the advertising boards to get the ball back for Kevin Campbell. Except I couldn't reach, so he had to get it himself.
I had literally one job :-(
:thumbip:
I've got the Vienna game of VHS somewhere so will look out one day for your starring moment
5-2 the Sheff Utd match
George was mad about us conceding two :hehe:
You were quite the lucky charm as far as goals were concerned, Monty
:nod: All that solemn bowing he undertakes whenever there's a minute's silence is folly
He's thinking of all that human flesh laid out on the slap
Burney "That Vienna game was our first one back in Europe after the ban, wasn't it? I remember being entirely confident that we'd stroll the European Cup after that. Fúcking Benfica. "
Yep
I shared your confidence yet 2 rounds and we were out
Such a disappointment
Bearing in mind the qualification criteria I thought it'd be such a tough competition to get back into and that we'd badly blown our chance
They found nothing then but when excavating Highbury in 2006 :cry: I'm certain they unearthed one of his shoes

1-0 in a difficult away tie and Michael Thomas refused to come on as sub - or played silly buggers warming up behind the goal - and we concede the equaliser. Legend, my arse
I loved Souper Kev.
At the end of the '91-2 season, I honestly thought he'd be what we'd later call a cross between DB10 and TH14. Having been too young to watch Chippy much, I really believed he was gonna be the best Arsenal born and bred player of that era. Even better than Merse.
When Merse and Limpar switched flanks and we had Kev and IWWW up top, that was my fave front 4 of all time, barring the Invincibles.
Why did it all go wrong?
Souper Kev fell in awe of Wrighty and would look towards him with deference so much so that he'd pass up on goalscoring chances which any greedy striker would have taken in preference to passing to a more obstructed IWWW
Became a bit punchy too
