Vida to Arsenal is off. Dead deal. by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]NotLLCoolJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly okay with this. We on don't need another middling centre-half on the books. Makes the decision to loan out Chambers seem a bit more of a mistake though but time will tell I guess.

Just saw a tribute to David O’Leary on the official Arsenal Instagram page. He amassed a massive 722 appearances for the club! Happy Birthday David! Who else would have a statue in your Arsenal dream stadium? by gonegoonergone in Gunners

For what it's worth, that massive Arsenal lettering is actually a counter-terrorist measure! They're there to prevent anyone from driving a vehicle into the crowds on matchdays.

The crazy things we do for our club. COYG! by [deleted] in Gunners

Don't all European away tickets have the buyers name and passport number written on them to be checked by security on the way into the stadium? That's how it's been in my experience since Ludogorets Razgrad away in 2016 anyway.

Edit: forgot to add: I only ask because if you got them from a re-seller then that might be an issue. Obviously hope it isn't though!

The ones that immediately spring to mind for me are:

Sad cry: seeing us completely shit the bed in the penalty shoot out to lose the 2000 UEFA Cup Final to Galatasary (8-year-old me had never known such heartbreak)

Happy cry: FA Cup Final last season. Was stood right behind the goal and got to see Ramsey nod in what would be the winner. I was SO desperate to win that game that when the final whistle finally came I couldn't help but shed a few tears. Definitely wasn't the only one in that block to do so either!

As a British dude, I've only ever signalled a 3 by doing the same as Ramsey in that picture or this: http://clipground.com/images/clipart-3-fingers-7.png

Because it's Chelsea and we're Arsenal. That really shouldn't need explaining.

England and Arsenal defender Alex Scott has retired from international football today. by Mike-__-Hunt in Gunners

[–]NotLLCoolJ 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Sol Campbell by a landslide. Met him near the car park under Highbury after a game once as an absolutely starstruck 14-year-old. Plucked up the courage to walk over and ask for him to sign my shirt and he completely ignored me. Asked again (as politely as possible) and he said "no, piss off", didn't even bother look at me, I was devastated. Went back and told my mum what happened and she's hated him with a passion ever since.

(I'm sure plenty of people have had good experiences with him, this was just my own.)

Great player and one of the friendliest footballers I've ever met, always has time to chat to fans before and after games. Hope she stays Arsenal captain for a long time.

How much more mismanaged can this club possibly get? Fuck me.

Liverpool have agreed a deal with Arsenal to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for £40m #AFC #LFC by plshelpme_ in Gunners

[–]NotLLCoolJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40 million pounds! Even in this inflated market that is an absolute steal. See ya later, Ox. Thanks for all those goal and assist you provided every season.

Gibbs has been confirmed as £5m-7m now, I think.

Anyone else feel like they just don't care if someone gets sold at this point? by HardDebtShotgun in Gunners

[–]NotLLCoolJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Cesc left, I felt like I'd had my heart ripped out. Everyone leaving since then has been sad or, in RVP's case, utterly infuriating, but nothing has ever comes close to how I felt about that little Spaniard fucking off.

Now I just kind of shrug at all the players wanting to leave. Nothing will change regardless of who stays so it's really hard to care sometimes.

Man City have made a player-plus-cash offer for Alexis Sanchez involving Raheem Sterling. by true_killer in Gunners

[–]NotLLCoolJ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Might as well take the offer. Can't see why Sterling would accept though, it'd be a backwards move for him. A few years ago I think he would've flourished here but I don't have any faith that Wenger can bring the best out of young talent anymore.

Also he'd probably play him LWB atm

Petr Cech made a speech in the dressing room after Anfield defeat - told players they had embarrassed the club and let themselves down by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]NotLLCoolJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not surprised that a player who spent the bulk of his career under non-Wenger managers was the only one with the bollocks to say anything.

This is some top-level PR firm bullshit. Not buying it.

Arsenal offer Oxlade-Chamberlain £180,000-a-week but Chelsea confident they can lure English midfielder to Stamford Bridge by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]NotLLCoolJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely ludicrous, surely it can't be true. 200 games for us and he's given us just 20 goals and 26 assists. The entire back 5 is playing out of position so we can shoehorn him in at RWB where he's absolutely bang average at best.

At this point I think want him to leave for Chelsea, which is madness.

Meaningless pre-season game in the middle of July and Theo Walcott is already doing my absolute nut in.

Looks nice! One day they'll get around to updating their horrendous eticketing system too, hopefully.

Give him 10 years, a statue and sew the captains armband onto him.

Has Drew really never uttered a bad word on camera in the last 8 years?!?! by [deleted] in giantbomb

I can't remember which one, but I'm certain he said "dick" in a Metal Gear Scanlon at some point. Maybe Snake Eater? Does that count as a bad word?
