We have about half a dozen of them playing at WHL

I love names like that...nakes me thing of Fantasy Football and the Bighari Arce...

PMSL  We've had our share at Arsenal over the years too
This is a really interesting if disturbing article from one of the best Arsenal blogs. It's not about Arsenal btw but about the World Cup and the increasing power of sponsors.
Quite shocking actually that, in a stadium full of people wearing orange, these girls were subjected to this treatment

oh threads playing up again....only showing me to end of pg 488

posts are going AWOL for me,  both Crocs & Veggies recent posts are not showing up.

Threads playing up again

Spain looked absolutely shocking there, that might change a few things...

Looks like this thread has pissed up again

Fixtures list tomorrow!  Wonder who we will get in our first match and more importantly when the derbies will be.  Can't wait.

What are the feelings about the new ball back home? The Germans are complaining about it and they seem to have done rather well with it.

Blimey Spain lost to Switzerland.


Bring on the fixture list tomorrow.

Just posting so I can actually see the bloody posts

Its all fixed now..

We deffo need to open another thread and ask Lori to lock this one.
Any Volunteers?
Btw I had to laugh at Spain falling foul of Switzerland - even though it drives me mad when teams do that with Arsenal.
It was just like watching Blackburn - without the violent tackles.
Sort of Allardyce Lite

Fixtures out! We're away to Liverpool opening day of the season. Spurs at home to City - oooh




Aston Villa v West Ham
Blackburn v Everton
Blackpool v Wigan
Bolton v Fulham
Chelsea v West Brom
Liverpool v Arsenal
Man Utd v Newcastle
Sunderland v Birmingham
Tottenham v Man City
Wolverhampton v Stoke


Morning everyone

Mornin Veggie  The biggie has to be us eh?

We're away to Bristol City first game of the season....followed by subsequent fixtures against Hull, Leeds, Coventry and Forest....

Morning Onetoo and Croc
Well best get OT out of the way early onetoo eh? That's quite a line up for you Croc too - but I can't see Millwall being worried, I think you will do ok.
Arsenal are away to Fulham last game of the season so that will mean Tottingham will be at home final day - should please RZB

Millwall love playing Leeds...cos in recent years we've pretty much taken all the available points off them.

I'm never quite sure what to make of the fixture list. I mean we all have to play eachother at some point and what looks like a good run can be ruined by injuries as happened to us on the run in last season.
Plus promoted sides can be a bugger to play early on when they have confidence. Newcastle might give Man U a kicking especially if their players are tired from World Cup duty

Hi Croc       Hmmmm, I'm not sure about that Veg but I'll take what I can get

it's just a bit of excitment to see who we've got first game, I always like to check if games clash with birthday's or anniversarys,  I would guess quite a few dates will changes because of TV rights.


morning all....

I'm a bit peeved that it's Liverpool & Chelsea away last 2 games of the season.

Mornin RZ

Hiya Pam, We seem to be playing  you twice within about 3 weeks. 


Man U away first I see for your boys .
Wasn't that the first game the season before last,

Ah right, I haven't seen them all yet.


Yeah, we'll battle through it again. It'll be on the telly no doubt

Morning all,

Chelsea away first match!!  Onetoo, Man Utd first match ~ bet that will be a good one!

La Veggie, if everyone is agreeable, I'm happy to start footie thread pt deux.

Excellent Pinky  thanks
*hands Pinky a huge Arsenal banner to hang in the new footie fred*

  go for it Pinky...... Hi b.t.w.

lowering the tone before we've got the keys to our new home.

Well, start as you mean to go on I say RZB
*hides the silver before Arry the Oover takes a shine to it*

Hi hun, September for us I think at the Emirates, lets hope we can go this year and we can meet up.  December will be a good month for us (!), the proper derby v Villa on the 11th Dec and then the Wolves derby on the 18th.

That would be fantastic Pinky, you could see me in all my fatness
Plus, your reserves will get to play us again this season at Barnet. See if you can get down for that game - I'll save you a seat within stalking range of Le Boss

New thread started and I'll PM Lori to lock this one.

Morning RZB, BTW.

Got it.  Locking now.
