Clueless Stewards and Arsenal’s bigoted policy towards shirts, flags and away fans.

by & filed under Uncategorized.

Let me begin by saying we have a steward on this blog and I knew plenty at the old ground that were decent blokes with common sense. Same with the security guys.

So please don’t call me anti steward, I know you have a job to do, all I’m saying is do it properly and use your common sense.

I will also say I know a few good ‘uns at the Grove as well, but most of them are clueless, it seems to me Arsenal recruited them from either the London underground, the Traffic wardens society or from the dole queues.

Why you may ask am I so angry with these people? Well, FIFA segregate fans for a reason, as do most of the leagues around the world, football fans are tribal and don’t like fans from teams they are playing against sitting next to them, especially if the other team scores and they start taunting.

I heard yesterday numerous people complaining about Liverpool fans in club level shouting abuse at the fans below them, in fact Pedro said he saw a whole bunch of them in our section screaming abuse at fans around us and they had Liverpool shirts on as well.

People were asking the stewards to kick them out and they refused to, it was only when the Scousers abused the stewards that they got thrown out, how delightful for the poor sods sitting next to them.

When we joined Club level, we were told only Arsenal colours may be worn and colours of the opposing teams were strictly forbidden, so why were these morons allowed in and why were they not ejected when they began abusing Arsenal fans.

One day someone will be seriously hurt for all this political correctness and what will Arsenal say then? Oops!

Last season there was trouble between warring Greek and Turkish gooners waving their own national flags at each other, Arsenal’s reaction? To ban all flags, even our own, madness, absolute madness, what they should have done was to say only Arsenal flags are allowed or English/British flags, but Arsenal for some strange reason don’t want to offend the minority but don’t mind screwing their own, odd.

I went to the pre season Emirates cup and above me were two flags, one said Libya in white out of green and the other one was an Irish tricoler, I asked for them to be taken down and the stewards asked me to leave the ground, work that one out.

I would like to hear from either Arsenal’s policy makers or some stewards, on why they are allowing supporters from other teams into our section causing problems for the people that are funding this club? Please try and justify this hypocrisy.

Will they wait until someone gets hurt before they act? and then blame the hard working Arsenal fan?

Mr Edelman, we are an English club in Great Britain and we are Arsenal fans so give us our flags back please, you like them at Cup finals don’t you? The Kop are famous for them, and you know the Kop don’t you, you let most of them into club level on Wednesday.

If you try and tell me they were given to Liverpool fans by club level members, then kick those club level members out, and then explain why they were allowed in wearing Liverpool shirts.

I eagerly await your response, as do we all at Le Grove.

As its Friday, I thought I’d leave you with a poem. One of the Bloggers left it for me yesterday and to be honest… it was just to good not to share with you all.

Thanks Bopnip Popdritso:

Van Persie… score without mercy.
Adebayor, we want you to score.
Bendtner, get it in with a header!
Fantastic Hleb, look great in the pub on the telly!
Rosicky knows how to be tricky!
Fabregas is Better than British Gas.
Flamini sets the stadium in Flames.
Gallas is more dangerous than a bunch off dudes in Balaclavas.
Toure could win the tour de france anyday. Sagna plays better than a Sony Playstation. Clichy is no cliché, you hear me?
Sennderos he’s almost da Boss.
But Wenger is his name and winning is his game.
I feel like I’ve gone to the moon when Almunia scores.

Beautiful… have a great day Grovers.

  2. Odub

    And no I’m not barred it was a misunderstanding, honestly her t-shirt did say ‘easy’ what else was I meant to do?!!!

  3. Odub

    i remember now! you mentioned something about getting setanta ireland for premiership games, confused myself into a corner as usual!

    Who’s the chuckle brother fellow? never seen him.

    Pedro/Bud feel free to answer my question in your own time!

    Honestly, they get to 300 comments once, and all of a sudden they’re too busy to respond to us minnows!

  4. charybdis1966

    Have you guys ever tried Pizzadelique nearby ? Could tell you a story about that, but I don’t want to be libellous.

  5. chris

    yes i am very much in ireland, used to live in brentwood and went to school in pilgrims hatch (if anyone knows it)
    pedro did answer your questions buddy,

  6. Pedro

    Chris is right Odub!

    Bud gets his own picture and he is to big for the blog… he’s not the same since Angry dave!

    Whats the story Chary?

  7. Odub

    I actually didnt notice Pedro’s comment!!! Sorry mate!

    And yes I heard it was going to snow on sunday and monday!!! how does that work! Walking back from the pub, it was t shirt weather!

  8. chris

    no is use to work for goodfells and in another job supplied pizza express so i have some knowledge,
    my missus is working tonight so i have to cook for myself and its going to be …. pizza!

  9. charybdis1966

    Pedro – I think you can guess the majority of it – a friend was having lunch there and got a “Roland R** glare as it scampered across the back wall en route to the kitchen, allegedly (to prevent your site being sued).

    This was last spring so maybe it’s better now.

    Mind you, their russky waitresses are all quite gorgeous. I’d ordered my lunch from there frequently up till then.

  10. Odub

    Nice!!! Thank goodness I’ve never patrionised said establishment!!

    Used to be a big pizza fan, but since becoming a non meat eater, I stick to fish and chips!!

  11. charybdis1966

    Odub, funny you should say that as I’m a lifelong vegetarian but gave up pizza due to my heart problems – you know, white flour, cholestorol etc..

    I only got pastas from them – and the odd sneaky nachos (oops – too much cheese, I know)

  12. Odub

    mate i eat fish, veggies and vegans only eat stuff that grows in the garden and dont ware leather goods…Fuck all that!!
    I only stopped eating meat because I became a fat 19st cunt that lived on pork ribs, cornish pasties, pepperoni pizzas and sweet and sour pork balls! Couldnt walk up the fucking stairs in my house without suffering a semi heart attack!

    Anyways…. Think we’ll do ‘em tomorrow big time!! 3-0!

    Who have the chavs got? the mans play boro on sunday dont they?

  13. chris

    so who is the cunt that accepted the bribe, does he play for the pool, did he throw coins (back) at fans at highbury and get away with it

  14. Odub

    3 points to the chavs then, boro might draw against amnure, never know. Anyone have David Wheater’s mob no, send him a text to do that greaseball ronaldo a season ending bit of damage!

    ok I obviously drank too much for lunch because I don’t know what you lot are going on about!! what bribe?

  15. chris

    if it moves i dont eat it, wear leather and all that bollox however, avoid dairy but love chocolate cheese cakes etc,

  16. charybdis1966

    I don’t eat seafood, eggs or poultry in addition to red meat. I do eat other dairy products and I have no problem with leather, but on the ladies e.g. catsuit, skirt etc…

    So I’m a mixture of veggy/vegan.

  17. chris

    word press is being odd today for me as well i copied the link for the bribe and it said it is already posted, anyway its on newsnow a story that broke today but seems to be based on the past, unnamed player though

  18. Odub

    chris would never hold what a man eats against him, going down is not illegal….boom boom!

    same with what religion or part of the world you’re from. Only set of people I discriminate against are chavs and spuds… I believe the word is cunts!

  19. charybdis1966

    Well, my you tube link blew my cover anyway, so I’ve been tumbled already !

    It’s a sunny friday afternoon so it’s ok to lech – see earlier on today.

  20. charybdis1966

    Odub, you omitted ManUreScum….they’ve made my blood boil ever since 1991 – the first battle of Old Trashford. and it was all McLair’s fault !

  21. Odub

    brian Mclair – cunt
    ryan giggs – hairy cunt
    the nevilles – dumb looking cunts
    beckham – flash cunt
    cantona – kung fu kicking cunt
    SAF/schmiechel – red nosed cunts…

  22. Odub

    Yeah Raddy the ballett episode is what you will be remembered forever!! same as a certain Mr C will forever be known for his dominatrix fetish!!

    I do believe Pedro’s set the spam thingy to mega strict because I just posted and nothing happened…All I did was use the word cnut 10 times!

  23. Odub

    firstly I dont know you well enough to answer that question on an unsecure internet connection!!!

  26. Big Raddy

    I had forgotten about the fucking ballet. That was a truly shite night. I love the washing pole debacle…. that was superb.

    Chris, I assumed you were making some kind of gay advance towards Odub. !

  27. Odub

    He does ask a very valid question!! lol

    Mate I’m off, have a good one, and will be on tomorrow.

    Night all

    COME ON ARSENAL!!!

  28. chris

    i did notice that imust say!
    i ticked the search UK bit so i had hoped one might have been you but ah well never mind!

    how do we feel about the flamini situation after Fabs comments, positive or are we collectivly sick of the shit and prefer to wait for a conclusion

  29. Geoff

    This is for you gooner866. First of all we accept your account of what you saw and glad you agree it wasn’t good enough.

    We know you’re not all cunts or barstewards, that’s why I qualified my post today with what I said about the good stewards.

    Explain this to me though. If I stand up and sing, I’m told sit down or get out. A scousers gets in, in his colours and screams abuse, no steward says a thing and certainly doesn’t threaten to throw them out. Please, go ahead, explain.

    Sorry for my tardiness Grovers, nice blogging today, I was with customers discussing the post this morning at Wentworth. They all agreed by the way.

  30. Big Raddy

    MMMMM I am drinking a superb Italian Barolo. If you get the chance check them out,. Fantastic Friday night drinking, though probably too alcoholic for a midweek wine.

  31. Bud

    I had too much wine last night thankyou very much. Spent the night on the floor next to my bed…. life seemed firmer down there !!!!!

  32. chris

    good man raddy, get stuck in,
    i am off now for the evening, time for dooby!
    speak to you guys later/tommorrow,
