Yes... Lucky, lucky Arsenal.
Makes me wonder where you'd perceived the loyalties to lie, OB?
:\pimp2:
Oh, Arsene Wenger's magic, He wears a magic hat,and when he saw the Double, He said: "I'm havin that..."(rpt)
What, you mean Freddie Stupidhair MEANT to beat four men and curl it into the top corner?
As you live thousands of miles away from your team and obviously don't go and and see them play, then you're a prime candidate for a Man Utd supporter (it's OK, I've slapped myself to save you the bother). To be honest, I didn't know you liked football at all. Must be the Elephant and Castle connection.
There seems to be a core of diehard support for Division One and Two teams on this forum which is great.
Obviously I can't profess to doing the really hardcore fan yards- travelling to some godforsaken Vauxhall Conference ground in the middle of winter to watch a forgettable 0-0 Cup draw, etc, but I have followed the Gooners closely for a good 16-odd years.. During the "boring, boring" years and beyond. I'm no bandwagonesque Utd supporter, for sure. *SLAP*
I arrived in the UK with three wishes: see the Order live, see the Arse live and to knob Cat Deeley. Two out of three ain't bad- Arsenal tickets are so hard to come by these days aren't they?
:\pimp2:
Must confess, I'm an Ars'nal Member, but am not really a proper fan as such. They just happen to be my local team. Also lucky enough to get the odd free ticket from a work colleague whose Mrs never uses her season ticket for midweek games. I mean, would you turn down a Champions League game for free?!
Depthcharge - you're not missing much at Highbury though, mate. Faaar more atmosphere generated in the Shed at Perth Glory! ;)
As long as it shuts the knob head Ferguson up for a few weeks, i'll happily have Arsenal win everything in sight. Hear his latest foul mouthed rant about Veron?...superb
Didn't he stand up for Veron?
F'knows why, he's bottled it in United colours. Anyone can see that. Decent player, but ineffective this season.

yeah - he's rant about the press having a go at Veron. I think he probably doesnt like the weather - apparently Argie football's just as rough and tumble as over here
In full....
Reporter: "You said you felt there was a certain arrogance in the way Arsenal were saying they'd already won the title?"
Fergie: "I'm not getting involved in that because you just want a f***ing story as usual. I'm not getting involved in that. Your f***ing stuff is a disgrace to journalism and you are. The stuff you f***ing come out with...."
Reporter: "What?"
Fergie: "You're always going on about this club. Always."
Reporter: "It's our job to cover this club."
Fergie: "Och, you're a joke."
Reporter: "Name one story...."
Fergie: "Listen, you've been going on about f***ing Veron. You tell me what's wrong with Veron."
Reporter: "We're not the only ones."
Fergie: "You are, you're the worst."
Reporter: "Veron just hasn't played very well."
Fergie: "Well, I think he has. What's this thing about fights and all the rest of this s***?"
Reporter: "So we can't talk about individual players? Will Veron play on Wednesday?"
Fergie: "I've no picked the team yet."
Reporter: "What about allegations he had a bust-up, is not going to play again and is going home?"
Fergie: "That's been answered."
Reporter: "The fans would be interested in what you have to say."
Fergie: "It's absolute nonsense, you know it's nonsense. Absolute lies. I can't believe you write these things. Anyway, that's finished. On you go."
Reporter: "You wouldn't talk generally about Veron...."
Fergie: "On you go. I'm no f***ing talking to you. He's a f***ing great player. Yous are f****ing idiots."
Didn't realise he'd ranted to such a degree. I sit next to a committed Red and he was saying weeks back that Keane apparently had Veron 'up against a wall' at the training ground after the fcuk-up against 'Boro which led to their goal (and which, in truth, probs cost United any chance of the title). And that no one stepped in to stop it.
I mean, players are only human after all. Well, some of 'em. They're gonna have fall-outs as much as the next person. And, if the next person's Roy Keane, well .. . .

Al, you'll be thrilled to know that this Sunday the Perth Glory host the NSL grand final at Subiaco Oval and all 45,000 tix sold out within two hours. They're a very firm bet to win their first ever championship. Hell, they're playing well enough to give Luton Town a decent game.
As for the Gunners, where were you with your free tickets to Highbury two years ago? Darn. Still, I managed to catch them in a Champions League match at Wembley. A victory too, something of a rarity.

Depthy - Can I make you jealous?
I can see into the top tier of the North Bank at Highbury from my flat window and walk past the stadio at least twice a day.
Just thought I'd let U know....!

MW when are they building the new stadium and whats gonna happen to the old one?
I think they have one more season at Highbury (next season) before they move.
I presume they will build the new stadium during the last season at Highbury. Its only about 15-20 mins walk from the current one if that.
The old stadium will be turned into flats and the pitch will be a public green space. Part of Highbury is listed so the 2 old facades on the stands will remain and possibly form part of the property development.
Once they move, it won't do any harm to the value of our flat!!

Earliest it can be expected is the 2004-5 season.
Then they can squeeze in another 20k people from Hertfordshire. And another 10k in corporate hospitality. Miaow.

I have the priviledge (?) of walking past Chelsea's Stamford Bridge each day. In fact I saw Ken Bates stomping around the other day. The blokes a giant.

Speaking of Chelsea...
I used to see Manu Petit's model girlfriend wandering around their Knightsbridge apartment in her G-string, from my workplace. Very tidy.

Which was tidy, his apartment or his girlfriend?

My workplace, as I said. I'm a cleanliness freak.

Congratulations to the Arse - winning the double is good, but to win it at Old Trafford must be even sweeter! Deserved champions, with their record this year they were bound to win it (19 away games...14 wins, 5 draws - some going that!) and to score in every game is no mean achievement;)
Battle Of Britain on Monday night then guys
does anyone know if it's on TV?
By the way, where are the Utd supporters on this board? A board devoted to Manc's finest band- there's gotta be some Utd suporters out there... Show thy faces!
:\pimp2:

Wouldn't go as far as saying I was a supporter Depthy - I would never go and pay to watch em play (unless it was against Celtic of course;) ) but they are my team in England, when they play to their best, no-one can touch em!
But unlike proper supporters - if they get beat, it doesn't really bother me - I join in, and wind up their fans
Ah but don't forget that Man Ure ARE the best team in the Premiership, and Europe.
Well, only if you live on Planet Ferguson.
Gary Lineker came out with some stat last night that Arse are the first team since eighteen-hundred-and-something to go all season unbeaten away from home.
According to Lee Dixon, though, Arsenal's success is all down to our fellow Antipodean on-liner :
"It's brilliant to be a part of this squad - it's the best I've played with, with Depth in every position."
Dont think even Fergie can claim they're the best in the country after last nigths shocker. Outclassed from start to finish. Utd are currently a bunch of losers and their attempts to maim half the Arsenal team proved they knew they were playing against a superior team. Well done the Gooners.
