Dags I didn't see the game until today, at work and listening to the droll on arsenal player tells you nothing but I thought second half we played well mainly due to kol and sanchez, we did make hard work of it in the first half and that's a worry again. I expect to win every game and i take winning for granted in life, i just hate losing. I won't see sundays game, i'm playing golf, so you won't see me moaning until at least Sunday evening. Lol.

I quite like your moaning Steve.

At least It's honest.

Do you find that commentator on arsenal player boring as well?

16 Sep 2017 11:56:00
D he is awful but it is free and it is arsenal.

16 Sep 2017 12:23:36
Stuck here in the US as I am, Arsenal Player is my only reliable way to get the live action for every match. Agree with Steve and D, not a great option but better than nothing for me.

Every so often when a celeb dies, and particularly if they were involved in football, someone will always come on here and say a few words. I was thinking about this the other day and realised we totally forgot about someone.

R. I. P LANESRA

Great guy - shi*e storyteller.

P. S. If doctors were paid as much as footballers, they could have saved him.

In tribute to our dearly departed friend, I ask that everyone thumbs down this post.

{Ed007's Note - He'll be back at some point, that's three times he's died that I know of.}

Just like Goldboy and Jenny Taylor 😁.

{Ed007's Note - Or a wart.}

15 Sep 2017 18:17:25
I had a wart a few weeks ago.

I was embarassed at first, but it grew on me 😃.

15 Sep 2017 19:06:27
Or like champagne Charlie and Tony soprano😀.

15 Sep 2017 19:18:39
Goldboy did have many names, lol.

15 Sep 2017 19:22:43
Not forgetting the infamous Spursman of course! :-)

15 Sep 2017 19:43:27
There use to be some great posters, like IKE, metal gooner and raz.

15 Sep 2017 20:26:26
Metal gooner was Raz wasn't he Malaga. I've no idea who used to be Champagne Charlie and Tony Soprano though! 😂😂

Flybo's gone awol too.

15 Sep 2017 20:46:27
Jenny and Greeny were quality posters and great fun too.
2013/ 14 season when we were sharing quality banter and respect with the lads like Ken from the Liverpool page was quality.
The fun never stopped that season and threads just ran and ran full of interesting opinions and ready funny banter.
The joke athon with Ed025 rating posters jokes by teams ie Real Madrid or Raith Rovers during an international break was absolutely awesome :-)
I think Banbury was crowned comedy king at the time wasn't he? :-)

15 Sep 2017 21:16:18
Stoner, metal gooner couldn't handle the abuse he got for being anti Wenger so he changed too raz.

Me I liked to mix it up a bit.

16 Sep 2017 13:39:32
I don't know any of these people you lads are talking about. Did they all "internet die"?

15 Sep 2017 11:50:00
Wow UEFA are charging arsenal for cologne bringing if reports are to be believed 17000 extra fans. I'd tell them to ram there rubbish second rate comp. The European Coca Cola cup.

{Ed002's Note - There is nothing to stop Arsenal withdrawing from UEFA competition should they wish to.}

15 Sep 2017 12:48:38
That's interesting ed. I didn't know that. Would there be likely ramifications that we would get excluded from the champions league or could we just leave and that be that for this year.

{Ed002's Note - They wouldn't tell you - that is not their place.}

15 Sep 2017 12:56:37
Firstly, Cologne didn't bring 17,000 fans, these individuals would have made their own arrangements to fly over independently of the club.
Secondly, Arsenal have been charged with blocking stairways in the away fans section, which if correct could have been disasterous if a serious problem such as a terrorist attack occured.
However, Cologne have quite rightly been hit with four counts.
My own opinion is that we should simply be warned of the possible consequences of blocking stairways. Whilst Cologne should have their fans banned from all further away Europa League matches this season and suffer a fine equating to the total amount they recieive for playing this match.

15 Sep 2017 13:21:59
From what I can gather they let the home fans out first. And that was for the obvious reason of fans clashing and secondly most of the Arsenal fans were using the tube and the Piccadilly line was due to close at 12 ish so then would have had another huge potential problem. As it happened there were no casualties and 5 arrests so in hindsight it was a lucky escape. If they did lock stairways then it's catch 22. I personally believe if they let the koln fans out at the same time as the Arsenal fans things would have been much much worse. But as I say no real damage in the end.

15 Sep 2017 13:39:33
I think all parties need to take on the chin the bits they didn't do as much as they should and could have to prevent this happening plus accept with good grace the bits where they should have dealt with the situation better once it had happened.
If we are fined for blocking an exit fair play and let's let colonge worry about there own house.
If I was Arsenal I wouldn't make tickets available through the club for the return match in Germany as a preventative measure.

62 I think you have hit the nail on the head. Take the medicine for last night, on both sides. Make every effort to avoid a repeat, when we visit Cologne as well as when we host Red Star - a side whose fans are notorious for making a ruckus.

Can't let this be a call to arms for other visiting teams' supporters who don't want to play nice.

15 Sep 2017 16:16:38
Hi Cat mate, I think if you do all you can you leave yourself little to beat yourself up about if things don't work out as you would have hoped, if you've made mistakes then put your hands up and admit it because people are usually more accepting of your apology if you offer it without being forced to do so.
No one is perfect and accepting it is a strength most admire.

15 Sep 2017 17:09:54
No doubt about that 62 - it's true for supporters and clubs alike.
