Arsenal tickets

[Nik]

Very short notice I know, but I have 2 tickets (near half way line in East Stand) available for the 5.15pm match against Middlesborough this afternoon. I live in East Dulwich, so if you are local and wanting to go, there would still be time...

[Annasfield]

You should PM MarmoraMan - he wanted to take his son over the Easter holidays

[????]

Why am I not surprised East Dulwich is teeming with Arsenal supporters.....

What's wrong with that? Tickets I've been seeking are for my son who loves football and "inherited" his fandom of Arsenal from his grandfather who's been following them since 1932, so between them they've clocked up 80+ years of support. (I don't "get" football but do watch now I have an active supporter / player who can explain the offside [and other] rules to me - tho' today's offside decision against Arsenal in the game was clearly wrong!!)

Nothing 'wrong' with that, I'm just not surprised

I think you'll find there are more glorying hunting plastic Man Ure and Lokomotiv Fulham fans in ED than loyal gooners, who, like me, originally come from North London and have been going to home and away games since 1968. Interesting how many blue Chavski shirts suddenly flooded the streets after they bought the title two years on the trot.

There's many Palace and Millwall fans in ED too ya know...

My apologies for jumping on your thread Nik

Surely you don't need reminding that Arsenal started out as a Souf London club?

[SeanMacGabhann]

my affiliation with the Arse started as a wee boy in Ireland when Arsenal had 6 outfield Irish players and an Irish manager

the fact that they are of south London origin and I live in south London now is merely a footnote.

The fact that they are by far (on their day) the most entertaining football team known to man is a joy

[Marmora Man]

Further to PGC's reminder that Arsenal are a south London team - it reminds me that my great grandfather moved from Birmingham to work at Woolwich Arsenal. He was noted in the 1867 census in Brum as a "Gun Barrel Grinder" and was presumably an Arsenal football supporter too, giving my son's enthusiasm for them even more legitimacy - despite being born in Barnstaple.

What's your point exactly? And what is a bif fan???

[????]

for 'bif' read 'big' for '*snigges' read 'Sniggers'.....my point is that I am still not that surprised that Arsenal is a popular choice of team in SE22......genuinely no ribbing on your credentials Attila, they do look impeccable

Flattery will get you nowhere!! :)

That's hardly a tradition of theirs is it ;-)

[atila the gooner]

I notice it took the fake ronaldo 5 goes to get a goal on saturday, because he is such a lethal finisher. But be fair, Man Ure were playing the might Derby!!!! I also notice Fergusmoan has still not had the grace to apologise for his apoplectic outburst following the Pompey game. No surprise there then.

Is this meant for me? If it is you now you're going to get a shitty response.

[spadetownboy]

good on you jah.

Why did I just know you would stick your oar in!!!I stand by what I said, so what's your response to that? Fergusmoan thinks he is above apologising the FA and probably god almighty. Odious man.

[Annasfield]

I do find it ironic that for someone who has a problem with another person moaning does plenty themselves..... ::o

*putsontinhatsmilie*

[atila the gooner]

I'm sure most scousers are full of nothing but admiration for Fergusmoan, yet seem to have a problem when somebody other than them says anything about him. We do live in a funny old world. I'm sure he'll have some choice words of wisdom ahead of the game with yourselves at the weekend.

[Annasfield]

I have no problem with you moaning about Ferguson, in fact I often agree with some of the things you say. As it says on the tin, I just find it ironic that you constantly moan about someone who moans.

Nothing to do with being a Manc, Scouser or Cockney/Londoner.

[atila the gooner]

Anna, I wasn't having a go at scousers, it's just that there are certain forumites on here that have a bad effect on me and I'm sure you can guess who they are. You're not one of them by the way.
