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.
Fucking barstewards. Spot on chaps. There are a few decent ones but the rest are frustrated traffic wardens and little hitlers that got no attention from their mothers. Some of the unpunished antics of Liverpool fans in the Arsenal sections on Wednesday just backed up my theory that stewards are cunts.
i know of a liverpool fan and partner whom are going to the emirates tommorrow and they got teh tickets from a someone who has a season ticket, that is total bollox, these season tickets are used the same way as a setanta subscription, you buy the ticket to support your team not share with the enemy, some one is going to get injured (proper fucked) and then retrospective action will be taken, but too late as usual
FRRIIIDDDAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!
Sorry…..
Morning all, intresting, controversial, but down right true. Well said Geoff.
Hope this gets flagged on News Now and we get some cunting stewards on here (sorry El Tel)!
Back in the days of the random rant I made my feeling about these tosspots known. They’re up there with traffic wardens (sorry i mean community enforcement twats!)
End of! happy thoughts happy thoughts happy thoughts…
I totally agree with your points about the flags, another example of PC gone mad, but it is hardly just a Emirates problem its the whole bloody society we live in today, driven by middle class do-gooders!!!!
I have been a supporter for 32 years travelling all over the country, but I must confess I was a steward at Highbury for couple of seasons. To be totally honest the only reason I did it was because I was at uni at the time and it was the only way I could see Arsenal, I didn’t give a toss about being a steward and nor did most of the others, like I say it was just a way to see the games. But there were a few pricks
By the way your poem is shit (proper shit!!!) so don’t give up the day job!!!!
Good post Geoff… I was glad you weren’t in the bar when it was all kicking off the other night! The Liverpool fans were wearing full colours… unbelievable!
You know what they should do…
‘Sorry sir, you’ll have to remove that shirt and wear this… an 07-08 home shirt’
See how many turn up the next week with opposition colours on!
This flag waving business is ridiculous… If you are taking a flag to a game to be inflammatory you are clearly a cunt… but if you’re just taking one to have something to wave and its arsenal that’s cool.
By the way… how ridiculous is a flag battle? How do you win that one? Wave you flag harder? More fiercely! I know people are patriotic… but please… a flag off is just pathetic!
Good to hear cesc saying the Flamster wants to say and Arsene Wenger talking about Fran being an amazing player!
It all bodes well for the future! (Not that we didn’t already know that!)
Pat don’t knock the comical value of that poem… it is amazing!
I’d like to know how many chav fans turned up in fernabache’s club level in full blue! It should not have been accepted end of! the 2nd they fucking walked thru the door they should have been kicked the fuck out. It’s just asking for trouble.
I once went to st james park with 3 other gooners, we ended up in the away end, and just left our coats done up and shut the fuck up.
I cant believe these fucking scousers were allowed to stay that long!!
I have to say that the stewards on the Clock End were great. OK, they got lairy sometimes but, they had a tough job and di it well
Things seem to be different at the Emirates. The ‘homely’ atmosphere has been replaced by a frightening level of stupidity.
Sadly, this once again is a management issue. They seem to have a random employment policy.
Someone has been hurt this season, already Geoff…
There was a Villa fan, in with the home crowd, near the away section & joined in with the disgusting “Eduardo” songs…
Needless to say, a Gooner threw him down the stairs & fractured his skull!
Not saying the Villa fan deserved THAT, but if you are thick enough to sit with the home fans & sing something like that… then you deserve everything you get (within reason!)
So, after THAT incident, I would have assumed the club would have a zero-tolerance approach to away fans in with the home crowd! Obviously not!
Maybe they won’t be happy until someone gets killed!
Nothing wrong with Bopnip’s poem Pat, it’s Bopnip that’s the problem!! Feel free to check the video he posted yesterday to get a clearer picture of the mind of the guy!
That poem is Wordswoth re-incarnate.
My flag is bigger than your flag. What a fucking stupid argument. Although I do happen to agree with Pat that it’s society’s problem, not that of any football club. You are no longer allowed to passionately affiliate yourself to anything for fear of upsetting a few radical extremist. Arsenal should have had the bollocks to rise above it but for them I guess it’s easier to ban any national flags. Sad, but unfortunately very true.
As I said yesterday that people near us were complaining to the stewards about scouse pricks leaning over and letting us have it from the club level and were told that it wasn’t their domain and would be handled by the stewards up there. Nothing happened and nobody was ejected.
If I lit up a crafty fag at half time (even before the nationwide ban) i’d have my season ticket revoked before you could say”officious dayglo wearing traffic warden wanabe cunt”
Good piece Geoff – try sending it to
John Beattie – Arsenal Stadium Manager
email – lstemp@arsenal.co.uk
sorry if that’s teaching you to suck eggs….
3 -1 to the Arse tomorrow…..
Fab is better than BG??? Is he taking the little blue pills or the big fucking yellow ones??!!
It is hard to fault Wenger , the team or the ground – the administration is appalling and the board are so complacent it is not true – stewarding in poor – I ve had he same problem with hammers fans in club level – you then watch as quese biuild up at teh bar cos they have no trays/pates for the food or forks for the pies and then you step out to bemisdirected by transport for london and the british transport police – of cousre i will always be there but i wont spend money on bringing guest to put up with this – and what realy pissed me off is they do the stearding better at old trafford
As to Bognob’s poem.
It is a literary masterpiece. It has rhythm, form and structure. It is full of symbolism and absurdity. He uses simple language to create complex imagery without resorting to base language. Is there an allegory in there. I am not sure.
But the message is strong and clear. The intention of the poet is aleays to convey his message, and in this Bogroll has undoubtedly succeeded. This is clearly an Arsenal poem.
Steve – smoking kills!!
ive got to say i like the controversial topics on this blog,
far more interesting than reading the FEEL GOOD VIBES on other delusional
blogs have on offer
(not to mention any names…. ALF (Cough !).
Id rather confront the issues of the club , as in some small way ,somehow our voices could be heard ! I gotta say im not crying about ades injury ! If RVP and walcott could pair up i wouldn’t be devastated ! I suppose bendtner starting is a bit of a issue .. I think the lad could of done with this year out on loan to a wigan or alike .. But i suppose no one knew martin would kill off dudu just when he was coming good ! .
I think a 4-5-1 might be wengers only option .. The line up will be interesting considering the C.L game is coming up ..
It will really show me what wenger holds dear to him .. a crack at the C.L
or staying in the title race .. (or trying to stay in the title race)
But Bogroll is clearly mad…..
Clockend, walking over the South Bridge after the game that day there was loads of Arsenal trying to get at Villa who were walking along singing that about Eduardo. A few of them managed it too despite the high police presence, Fucking good I say. I was actually proud that we had enough boys willing to fight on that front. I heard about the Villa fan that got hurt walking back to the car and I must admit I had no sympathy.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t condone hooliganism, but sometimes you need to stick up for your club. I’ve noticed in recent years it’s been happening at Shite Hart Lane too. About fucking time I say.
Why I am not trying to advocate trouble in any way, but didn’t the Gooners in club level respond to the scousers abuse in anyway, God forbid, but you could have tried to out sing them or something!!!
Still think the poems shit, I do appreciate the comedy value (or attempted) just don’t think its that funny!!!
steve
ill fault wenger .. he should of got a world class striker (anelka!) in the jan window !
as well as a GOOD CD and winger !!!
i saw it coming !
the ACN was a HUGE sign we needed replacements , along with RVP long term injury !
We really have to give it some hammer tomorrow. I would give a run to Barazite. PLay a forward line of teenagers !! Theo played swell against Carragher, cutting in like TH14. Barazite running on the right, Big Nic in the middle. We will tear the Scouse a new arsehole.
If only it was that easy !!!!
I do feel that the clubs policy on flags and other marks of affiliation is eroding away any home advantage we can give our team at Ashburton.
How an earth can we make our place into a fortress if the club is discouraging showing signs of allegiance ?
Allowing opposition fans into home support sections – and allowing them to abuse the home support – because they are in the high priced areas just shows where the clubs priorities lie.
And another thing I remember hearing how the opposition were allowed to bring drums in but the home suppport wasn’t. I’m not so sure of this now as I recall hearing drums coming from the North end.
Why the hell isn’t the club encouraging this kind of fervour – we need this to create a 12th man supplement to the efforts of the team on the ptich ?
I don’t want to sound negative about the club but I ssay these things as we see the effects of the crowd at other grounds (especially Old Trashford and Anfield) on marginal refereeing decisions.
The club could place a red and white scarf on each seat and get the punters to wave them simultaneously. It would look great and cost no more than a week of Gallas’s wages
Big Raddy, youre obviously a literary genius to be able to view the poem from that perspective!!
Was at the Villa game and the cunts were at it all game. Also happened at Wigan. Considering I nearly had a ‘to do’ with a chap at my gym who decided to sing it to me for amusement, i’m not wholly surprised someone got a facial for their efforts.
most of us turn up at football matches for one reaosn, to support and watch our team win. A bit of banter never goes amiss we sing the odd derisory song about some players (all for a laugh of course), and we fuck off home.
If some cunts howvere decide to sing unseemly songs about a player getting his leg broken, at his home ground while sat amongst his own fans….I my friends will be the first to smack him one. If that makes me a worse person than anyone else so be it.
Big Raddy, stop trying to sound intellectual, rhythm, form and structure my arse. Its shit and you know it. Before anyone starts slating me , I am only having a bit of a laugh.
But, the poem is shit!!!!!!
Pat… about 10 gooners went fucking ballistic at the Scousers… and it still took a good ten minutes to get them out… then it got worse! The stewards were going to let the offending Liverpool fans back in at half time! Madness!
Pat, Big Raddy is an expert on poetry… look at his analysis. He believes it to be a masterpiece, as do I! But we are all entitled to an opinion. Thats what’s so great about the poem… it polarizes.
As for the PC thing, this country has being trying to kill off any kind of national sovereignty for years! It makes the Europe agenda easier to push through! 20 years ago there would have been full scale riots if the government had signed that Lisbon treaty without a referendum… now, no one gives a fuck.
Sorry… back onto Arsenal! I agree Ethan, Walcott ant RvP would be a great combo! Little and large always works nicely!
Clockend, no one condones violence… but at the same time, no one condones being a fucking idiot. If you ask for it, you can’t complain when something bad happens!
How’s the injury list looking for sat? I hear Sags is back for the Mancs?
Pat… I am an intellectual
If you’re that smart why do you still go to college Big R?
cos you get free spliff and sex at college.
you still do?!! I thought all that’s been stopped! I’m going back to school then!
One never stops learning Odub. Right now, I study Danish. But Gazzap is right.
big raddy, i have a theory, if you you were at highbury during teh black and white tv days and now you are still going to uni, you are either a teacher of course or super smart aftering doing many decades at school or a total dunce, i feel it is because you are a genius whom is an empty vessel being filled with knowledge on a daily basis, we should be thankful for your input!!!
Yeah, my cousin has tickets at club level, and he told me after the game about how there were some liverpool fans behind him. Even when i sat there for the sp*** carling cup game, when they scored there was a twat who started taunting and jumping around.
*after doing
Pedro,
I would like to discuss the topics of PC, national sovereignty etc with you in more depth some time, but really can’t do it justice here (as I really am an intellectual), but believe me when I say there are people who give a fuck, but they are oppressed by today’s system, to the extent if they stick up for what the believe in or show any sign of being a patriot they are labelled misinformed, a bigot, uneducated or even a racist. But like I say we can’t do this subject justice here.
Anyway fucking delighted some Gooners had the balls to stand up to the Scousers!! Pedro, you are spot on, if you are going to go and be a fucking idiot and go into other supporters territory and wind them up then you deserve what you get, frnakly I hope somebody smacked them in the gob!!!!!
The poems still shit!!!!
or a perv. there were a few 50 somethings at my uni when I went and they just looked at the 19 year old totty all day. But Gooners aren’t like that so I wont cast any aspersions.
Did a post -grad fetr 30 years in the music biz, then met a Dane, and acame here to learn Danish in order to carry on my education as a psychotherapist. And can you believe this…. The Danish government PAY me to go to college !!
Gazzap, what is wrong with perving…. we all do it !
A Liverpool supporting work colleague and mate sat in the Arsenal end on Wednesday he got on fine with those surrounding him (he couldn’t stop himself standing up when they scored) but he didn’t wear his colours. I don’t think there is anything wrong with away supporters as long as they behave themselves. Club level is generally corporate seats almost inevitably there will be away supporters mixed in.
Just wait to you get to Wembley I was in club level there for the Charity Shield and it kicked off between Chelsea and Man Utd fans as again there is no segregation, on top of that you have supporters above you that can lob things down.
Getting back to football, did anyone else notice the Chavs are giving away tickets to one of their league games ?
Just confirms what we all thought – no fans, shit club !!
Ignorant offensive taunting is the problem, not intermingling of fans. Don’t confuse the two. Segregation has conditioned supporters into taking offense at the mere possible detection of an opposition fan in their ranks and fostered a culture of cowardly offensive taunting your enemies from the safety of the segregated pack. An utterly depressing evolution. Offensive taunters should be strategically isolated in the middle of their enemies at every game and have the ritual sh1t kicked out of them after every objectionable outburst. Problem sorted, friendly banter atmosphere of 1950′s restored after period of re-adjustment. Aye thankyou.
exactly. the world would be a very dull place if you couldn’t appreciated the female form on a warm summer’s day, for example.
If it was banned we may as well all curl up in a ball and die now.
Its the only thing that makes up for a lack of football for 3 months anyway.
Getting back to perving, how true is this?
An older man approached an attractive younger woman at a shopping mall.
“Excuse me; I can’t seem to find my wife. Can you talk to
me for a couple of minutes?”
The woman, feeling a bit of
compassion for the old fellow, said, “Of course, sir. Do you know
where
your wife might be?”
“I have no idea, but every time I talk to a
woman with tits like yours, she seems to appear out of nowhere.”
Back to the Arse. It looks like Sagna is back for MU. Shame it cannot be a few days earlier. His pace was sorely missing down the right. As someone so rightly said, Kolo/Eboue was the worst rightside we have had in many a year. Hopefully AW won’t make the same mistake again
i never thought about the pervert aspect,
music biz?
are you responsible for Aqua?
Nothing wrong with perving!! My faourite part of the day is walking to and from Bond Street tube…perving!
Anyway any team news for tomorrow yet?
I like what you are saying Pat, I completly agree with you! There are plenty of people who can see what goes on, but its sadly not the masses!
No Name, you are right, no one cares if an opposition fan sits near them as long as they keep it shut!
Raddy… in the music biz eh? Good stuff!
Nice joke Steve! haha!
There were some crackers last night!
Did anyone else notice the scarf waving the other night… I noticed a continuous clap for a bit as well!
I thought the atmosphere, bar club level was great at the ‘pool game!
Its going so fast today i can’t keep up!
Come too Scandinavia, it is perv paradise !!
Great joke Steve
What happened to the chanting Rocky’s name for the first 2/3 minutes?! I heard it for the first 30 seconds!!!!!
Big R…Legend, all the way to copenhagen to perv under the pretext of expanding on his wisdom/knowledge!
I salute you sir!
Steve V Goonerjay joke off battle today!!!! Let’s have it!
odub i only saw you funny last night, you are now the funny section king,
The rocky chanting didn’t really happen? It happened in spits and spats throughout the game!
The noise level was good though!
Bud was handing out his rocky sheets… song sheets would work!
The husband emerged from the bathroom naked and was climbing into bed when his wife complained, as usual,
“I have a headache.”
“Perfect,” her husband said. “I was just in the bathroom powdering my dick with aspirin. You can take it orally or as a suppository, it’s up to you!”
I loved Copenhagen Raddy. Fucking wonderful wonderful place.
Been twice for obvious reasons, shame it wasn’t for longer. Although i’d have needed to remortgage my house to drink over there for longer than a couple of days.
Do they charge more for the beer because people don’t need to drink anything to make the birds look better?
Like that Odub.
lol
Good point Steve, never thought of that. Troule with this place is it costs so much to get to the games. My next game is Reading in mid-April. Thank god for Le Grove and the Web
read through yeasterdays comments this morning…. wish i was around to joined in now… what was that hairynip/catnip/bopnip whatever his name is on? The poem made me chuckle but the rest of the crap he was coming out with was creasing me up… specially with all the comments from Odub and Steve slatting him… quality
Regarding the issue in hand… stewards are cunts… present company excluded of course.
How dare they let scousers into the gooners section… the poor people that have to sit there Saturday won’t have any chairs to sit on… thieving gits… even the river mersey has to run through Liverpool in fear of being mugged.
On a seperate note, At a recent concert in Glasgow, Scotland, the lead singer of the band U2,
Bono, asked the audience for total quiet.
Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds.
While having everyone’s complete attention, he said into the microphone, “Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”
A voice with a broad Scottish accent from the front of the crowd pierced the quiet:
“Well, foockin stop doin’ it then, ya evil basturd!”
Sun is shining and it is time to find out if I really can get free weed !!
Back later, thanks to all for the entertainment
true, no one condones violence…..but on this occasion I shall gladly lend out my AK47 to be used on the those Liver-Pooh twats!!
Morning to you all by the way…hope we are all fired up for tomorrows game…
3-1 to the Arsenal!!And I pray Nikolas “HappyFeet” redeems himself!!
One more and I’m off to do some work!
It was the postman’s last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the post through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood.
When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the whole family there, who congratulated him and sent him on his way with a big gift envelope.
At the second house, they presented him with a box of fine cigars.
The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures.
At the fourth house, he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door (which she closed behind him), and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced.
When he had had enough, they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and freshly squeezed orange juice.
When he was truly satisfied, she poured him a cup of steaming coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a fiver sticking out from under the cup’s bottom edge.
“All this was just too wonderful for words,” he said, “but what’s the fiver for?”
“Well,” she said, “last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and that we should do something special for you. I asked him what to give you.
He said, ‘Screw him, give him a fiver.’”
The lady smiled and said, “The breakfast was my idea.”
I agree with a lot of what you have to say about the flags / stewards, but you need to get in touch with the club with regards to this, with all due respect a blog is unlikely to change anything, unless you get other people to do the same thing and everyone contact the club over an issue such as this
haha!
Its like the comedy store in here!
I thought you were going to tell a story about how Bono got the atmosphere going at a gig with a slow clap!
So does anyone think Wenger has solved his midfield width problems next season with Merida and Vela?
THAT IS A WORRY!
Diego looks good though, Pires used to play central for Marseille I think? When you have that much skill and pace, you can play anywhere in the midfield.
Point noted Martin, Le Grove is going to try and get a meeting with Arsenal in the close season. So we’ll keep you posted with any progress on that!
A BIT OF ADVICE GIVEN TO ME BY THE BEAR….. O’DUB THIS COULD HELP YOU ESPECIALLY !!!!
It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When
you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there’s nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.
My name is Geoff of Le-Grove. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife. When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for the wife to get a full-time job along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets home
from work.
Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don’t yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men’s Grill at the club so eating out is not reasonable. I’m ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door. She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it’s not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner.
I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that they won’t clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.
Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. But, boys, we take ‘em for better or worse, so I
just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won’t have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn’t hurt her
any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points.
When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I try not to make a scene. I’m a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me too.
I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support my wife. I’m not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older. However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each other.
I was sitting in block 63 (corporate) and whilst I had people around there supporting the opposition before (quietly), last wednesday was crazy .. everywhere was packed with scum scousers and they really stick out in terms of stupidity and uglyness, much like most people from Northern England
this is prob a side effect of the corp culture at Arsenal .. now last season, I remember the Chelsea game when I had Russians behind me and when Mourinho got his squad to applaud their fans as last game of season, they started clapping .. I had to turn around and tell them to shut up ..
also last season , going PA, there was an entire home section full of hamburg fans .. ABSOLUTELY CRAZY ..
now if as mentioned on this bloke, some tick midlanders sitting with the Arse reckon they can sing Dudu songs, they deserve even more than a fractured skull
dont know what AFC can do about this .. big games mean that corporate entertainment culture will prevail and Liverpool seems to be well supported all around .. lots of tickets touting means everybody can have access to our games provided they are willing to pay the horrendous prices on the black market
but it is bloody annoying
if on saturday, it will be the same .. i will start to have a go at some of them in a more offensive way ..

I was watching the Blackburn game on TV on Sunday when it flashed on

Vinny Jones
There was this couple that had been married for 20 years.
Every time they made love the husband always insisted on shutting off the light.
Well, after 20 years the wife felt this was ridiculous. She figured she would break him out of this crazy habit. So one night, while they were in the middle of a wild, screaming, romantic session, she turned on the lights. She looked down… and saw her husband was holding a battery-operated leisure device… a vibrator! Soft, wonderful and larger than a real one.
She went completely ballistic.
“You impotent bastard,” she screamed at him, “how could you be lying to me all of these years? You better explain yourself!”
The husband looks her straight in the eyes and says calmly: “I’ll explain the toy . . you explain the kids.”
I wouldn’t want a scouser sat next to me… i tend to carry cash in my wallet.
i went to the Enzo Macaranelli v David Haye fight last month and there was 3 scousers sat a few rows in front of me… they kept shouting about like idiots and waving their hands about like their armpit hairs had been set alight pissing everyone off… then some bloke shouted calm down calm down and a fight kicked off… i loved the view but the fighters had no skill.
haha, nice!
Right! Work done now more jokes…read on….
A businessman was getting ready to go on a long business trip. He knew his wife was a flirtatious sort with an extremely healthy sex drive, so he thought he’d buy her a little something to keep her occupied while he was gone.
He went to a store that sold sex toys and started looking around. He thought about a life-sized sex doll, but that was too close to another man for him. He was browsing through the dildos, looking for something special to please his wife, and started talking to the old man behind the counter.
He explained his situation. The old man said, “Well, I don’t really know of anything that will do the trick. We have vibrating dildos, special attachments, and so on, but I don’t know of anything that will keep her occupied for weeks, except—” and he stopped.
“Except what?” the man asked.
“Nothing, nothing.”
“C’mon, tell me! I need something!”
“Well, sir, I don’t usually mention this, but there is The Voodoo Penis.”
“So what’s up with this Voodoo Penis?” he asked.
The old man reached under the counter, and pulled out a very old wooden box, carved with strange symbols and erotic images. He opened it, and there lay an ordinary-looking dildo. The businessman laughed, and said “Big damn deal.It looks like every other dildo in this shop!”
The old man replied, “But you haven’t seen what it’ll do yet.”
He pointed to a door and said “Voodoo Penis, the door.”
The Voodoo Penis miraculously rose out of its box, darted over to the door, and started pounding the keyhole. The whole door shook wildly with the vibrations, so much so that a crack began to form down the middle. Before the door split, the old man said “Voodoo Penis, return to box!” The Voodoo Penis stopped, levitated back to the box and lay there quiescent once more.
“I’ll take it!” said the businessman.
The old man resisted, saying it wasn’t for sale, but finally surrendered to $738 in cash and an imitation Rolex. The guy took it home to his wife, told her it was a special dildo and that to use it, all she had to do was say “Voodoo Penis, my crotch.”
He left for his trip satisfied that things would be fine while he was gone. After he’d been gone a few days, the wife was unbearably horny. She thought of several people who would willingly satisfy her, but then she remembered the Voodoo Penis.
She undressed, opened the box and said “Voodoo Penis, my crotch!” The Voodoo Penis shot to her crotch and started pumping. It was absolutely incredible, like nothing she’d ever experienced before. After three mind-shattering orgasms, she became very exhausted and decided she’d had enough.
She tried to pull it out, but it was stuck in her, still thrusting. She tried and tried to get it out, but nothing worked. Her husband had forgotten to tell her how to shut it off. Worried, she decided to go to the hospital to see if they could help.
She put her clothes on, got in the car and started to drive, quivering with every thrust of the dildo. On the way, another incredible intense orgasm made her swerve all over the road. A police officer saw this and immediately pulled her over. He asked for her license, and then asked how much she’d had to drink.
Gasping and twitching, she explained, “I haven’t had anything to drink, officer. You see, I’ve got this Voodoo Penis thing stuck in my crotch and it won’t stop screwing me!”
The officer looked at her for a second, shook his head and in an arrogant voice replied, “Yeah, right… Voodoo Penis, my ass!”
The rest is history.
Why did the Cubs go down the toilet?
To get the Brownies !
Like I said goonerjay it’s all about respecting and behaving – guess you’re right, that excludes fucking scouse cunts!!! My mate is a Londoner – misplaced affections!
What did the blonde say when she found out she was pregnant?
“Are you sure it’s mine?”
I just love that we dont do PC shit and Arsene knows crap!! This so feels like home!!!
I’m off for a scarcely deserved very long liquid lunch. Some cracking jokes today. Shame I’ll be too pissed to remember most of them.
Unlikely to return so have a great weekend all.

I’d have to agree with him on the squad depth. If the Flamster or Cesc get injured… we’re in big trouble.
Hopefully that will be addressed this summer.
Heres one…
Blondes
A bartender is sitting behind the bar on a typical day, when the door bursts open and in come four exuberant blondes. They come up to the bar, order five bottles of champagne and ten glasses, take their order over and sit down at a large table. The corks are popped, the glasses are filled and they begin toasting and chanting, “51 days, 51 days, 51 days!”
Soon, three more blondes arrive, take up their drinks and the chanting grows. “51 days, 51 days, 51 days!” Two more blondes show up and soon their voices are joined in raising the roof. “51 days, 51 days, 51 days!”
Finally, the tenth blonde comes in with a picture under her arm. She walks over to the table, sets the picture in the middle and the table erupts. Up jumps the others, they begin dancing around the table, exchanging high-five’s, all the while chanting “51 days, 51 days, 51 days!”
The bartender can’t contain his curiosity any longer, so he walks over to the table. There in the center is a beautifully framed child’s puzzle of the Cookie Monster. When the frenzy dies down a little bit, the bartender asks one of the blondes, “What’s all the chanting and celebration about?”
The blonde who brought in the picture pipes in, “Everyone thinks that blondes are dumb and they make fun of us. So, we decided to set the record straight. Ten of us got together, bought that puzzle and put it together. The side of the box said 2-4 years, but we put it together in 51 days!”
An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm
Count as part of his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar
And said, ‘Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.’
The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor’s
Office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on
The previous day.
The doctor asked what happened and the man explained,
‘Well, doc, it’s like this – first I tried with my right hand, but
Nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing.
Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right
Hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with
Her teeth out, still nothing.
We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried
Too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried
Squeezin it between her knees, but still nothing.
The doctor was shocked! ‘You asked your neighbor?’
The old man replied, ‘Yep, none of us could get the jar open.’
Just had our first cunt Liverpool fan on today!
Cunt off mate… how the fuck did you get an internet connection?
It’s obvious pedro… he’s just broke into someones house and started using their PC… what worries me most is where di he learn to use a computer?
The cheek of it!
Which set of fans do you think will be more worried about the next two fixtures?
By the sound of it… there’s!
Something has to give this year, and hopefully it will be Liverpool’s great Euro record!
I don’t think Liverpool could beat Chelsea over 2 legs… but I think we could.
I’ve still got my fingers crossed that Fenerbache can pull off the upset… my other half is a chav fan so i hate playing them.
I think the pressure is all on Liverpool for the 2nd leg – at home; Euro record etc, etc…
We go and lose 1 – nil …. well that’s what most (non Gooners) might expect… so no great shakes BUT we go and win 2 – 0 then it’ll be another great night for us and the scousers can go fuck off
Pressure on them for sure…
Sat – hard one; I think pressure on us – we can’t have all the possession and not win again – can we? Plus we really do need the 3 points….just in case – also if they win they’ll be right behind us….not a good idea – from 1st to 4th…fuck that!!
Pedro – on Euro terms if already have beaten the chavs over 2 legs – away goals rule
sod it it’s friday… another one guys.
A cucumber, a pickle and a penis were talking about
life. The cucumber said, when I get big and hard they
chop me up and toss me in a salad! The pickle says,
you’ve got it easy mate. When I get big and hard they
chop me up and drown me in vinegar! The penis says,
lads that’s nothing compared to what I go through when
I get big and hard! They put a plastic bag over my
head, shove me into a small, warm, damp cave and bang
my head against a wall until I throw-up and faint!
Love it Goonerjay – won’t sit next to a scouser but other half a chav!!
Have you no shame??!! 
I hope the turks pull it off as well!
Still mor jokes for friday guys and no offence to any blondies in this forum…
A plane is on its way to Melbourne when a blonde in Economy Class get up and moves to the First Class section and sits down.
The flight attendant watches her do this and asks to see her ticket. She then tells the blonde passenger that she paid for Economy and that she will have to go and sit in the back.
The blonde replies, ‘I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to Melbourne and I’m staying right here!’
The flight attendant goes into the cockpit and tells the pilot and co-pilot that there is some blonde bimbo sitting in First Class that belongs in Economy and won’t move back to her seat.
The co-pilot goes back to the blonde and tries to explain that because she only paid for Economy she is only entitled to an Economy place and she will have to leave and return to her original seat.
The blonde replies, I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to Melbourne and I’m staying right here!
Exasperated the co-pilot tells the pilot that it was no use and that he probably should have the police waiting when they land to arrest this blonde woman that won’t listen to reason.
The pilot says, ‘You say she’s blonde?’ ‘I’ll handle this, I’m married to a blonde, and I speak blonde!’
He goes back to the blonde, whispers in her ear, and she says, ‘Oh I’m sorry – I had no idea,’ gets up and moves back to her seat in the economy section.
The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and asked him what he said to make her move without any fuss.
The pilot replied, ‘I told her First Class isn’t going to Melbourne .
I would like to speak up for the female stewardess on block 109 upper she is the nicest person you could hope to meet Always smiling and helpful A true Arsenal fan in every sense of the word. When I was in northbank upper we had a miserable old sod I’m sure he was a Spurs supporter…
How do you get a sweet little 80-year-old lady to say the ‘F’
word?
Get another sweet little 80-year-old lady to yell *BINGO*!
Jason, you’re only saying that because you want to shag her, lets be honest !!!
Exclusive by Philip Kirkbride, the Skelmersdale Advertiser
A Dream trip to the quarter-finals of the Champions League quickly turned into a nightmare for a young football team from Skelmersdale.
The Arriva Youth under-15s had won a once-in-a-lifetime prize of free tickets to watch Liverpool’s clash with Arsenal last night (Wednesday).
But the evening soon turned sour when they were unceremoniously ejected from the Emirates Stadium.
Bizarrely seated amongst the hard-core element of Arsenal supporters, the football-mad youngsters were victims of a torrent of abuse from adult Gunner supporters.
As proud Liverpool fans, the under-15s celebrated Dirk Kuyt’s 26th minute equaliser, but they were soon turfed out.
Arsenal stewards escorted the boys, and the three adults accompanying them, from their seats and out of the ground.
Stranded outside in unfamiliar surroundings, the children and their guardians went looking for answers but were refused entry back into the stadium.
Ray Radford, manager of the U-15s, was furious at the way his team had been treated and demanded that his shocked players get back in to watch the game.
He said: “We were having a great day until Liverpool scored. We were seated smack bang in the lion’s den and were abused by grown men – men in suits.
“These weren’t louts. They started shouting at the lads as soon as they realised we were Scousers.
“They started shouting about Michael Shields and Heysel – it was pandemonium.
“After we’d celebrated Kuyt’s goal, we were spoken to by the stewards and told to leave the ground.
“Even though I explained to him that the lads were guests of UEFA, because of the competition win, they still chucked us out.”
Left stricken outside the ground the lads, wearing special UEFA tracksuits given to them as prize winners, continued to be hurled with abuse from passing footy yobs.
Radford eventually managed to get hold of a female UEFA official but he says she was of little help.
Ray added: “The female UEFA official said we weren’t allowed back in the ground and just left us there.
“We eventually walked round to a part of the stadium we recognised and managed to talk to the UEFA project manager, a guy called Simon Calder.
“He apologised for what had happened saying it was ‘unacceptable, appalling and totally unprofessional’.
“But he said that Arsenal were not going to allow us back in the ground.
“We were eventually granted access back to our mini-bus but were not allowed to leave the ground until 11pm.
“By this stage, the lads were very anxious, quiet and very, very scared.
“They were stressed and because we weren’t allowed back in the ground, we missed the rest of the game.”
The Advertiser spoke to Ollie Tritton but he declined to comment. UEFA official Simon Calder was unavailable for comment.
Well Phil… it seems even young liverpool fans are dim!
I like the way 15 year are kids when they get kicked out… but adult enough to go beserk when Liverpool scored!
They knew they were sitting in the wrong end and should have behaved accordingly.
Ignorance is not acceptable.
Sounds like the usual UEFA fuck up – a lot of thought given to that one…
As it happens; I too was “having a great day until Liverpool scored”!!
Paddy and Mick are walking down a street in London. Paddy happens to look in one of the shop windows and sees a sign that catches his eye. The sign says “Suits £5.00 each, Shirts £2.00 each, Trousers £2.00 per pair.”
Paddy says to his pal, “Mick, look! We could buy a whole lot of dose, and when we get back to Ireland, we could make a fortune. Now when we go into the shop, you be quiet, okay? just let me do all the talking cause if they hear our accent, they might not be nice to us. I’ll speak in my best English accent.”
“Roight y’are, Paddy, I’ll keep me mouth shut, so I will.” says Mick.
They go in and Paddy says, “I’ll take 50 suits at £5.00 each, 100 shirts at £2.00 each and 50 pairs of trousers at £2.00 each, I’ll back up my truck and….”
The owner of the shop interrupts, “You’re from Ireland, aren’t you?”
“Well…..yes,” says a surprised Paddy. “How der hell d’ y’ Know dat?”
The owner says,”This is a dry cleaners.”
absolutely. those scousers come across as totally ignorant of the plain truth that they were sat in an Arsenal section. cant they see the fault lies with them. fine if you want to keep your mouth shut, but not if you want to go crazy. their own fault and if it happened to Arsenal ‘boys’ at Anfield I would not have sympathy for them either.
Nothing more annoying than an opposition fan rubbing a goal conceded in your face.
Just gived you an aching urge to rub your knuckles in his
PHIL – I really didn’t think anything could top the humour we have had on this site for the last 2 days, but that is fucking hilarious…… A team of little yob scousers being lobbed out… I laughed so much, I nearly forgot to breath. The only downer is it weren’t raining, that would have been even funnier !!!!!!

have a good friday lads….
m as tired as our team today!!
Right, lets get some chat going chaps, I’ve just spent the last 2 hours listening to 2 toffs droning on about rugby league, rugby union, and dwain chambers joining the castleford tigers…exactly!!
Even the vino didnt dull the pain!!!
Pedro, just posted a joke in the funnies that didnt come up?
No? That weird! Its not in the moderation section either?
Ruggers chat! I don’t think I could imagine anything more boring! I hate listening to them talking on the train! Wankers…
So line ups for saturday? Nikki B and walcott up front… normal midfield… who do we play at right back!
When do you ever have the reference number when you call a company? Just find me with my address you cunt…
An odd ramble their Pedro !
Pedro, tried it again and it refused it. All it was was a very long post.
Ade’s def in the squad, and the only ones def missing according to arsenal.com are Sagna,Rosicky,RVP,Eduardo and Diaby suspended, so we might see some of the support players.
Who the hell are you having a barny with?!! Stick theire fucking posts so we can all have a go!!
Don’t forget Pedro/Geoff/Anyone else. S&B at 10am tomorrow. They are opening early and I have reserved the front tables !
There was a car full of nuns that were driving really slow. A police officer pulls them over and asked why they were going so slow. The head nun replies “Well, the sign over there says 23 and I was going 23 miles per hour.” The officer says “No, thats the route number not the speed limit, you can go 55 miles per hour.” The nun then says “Well that explains why the nuns were yelling at me earlier today.” The officer asked why and the nun said “Well we just got off route 125!!”
I’m a steward, and I’m pissed off. I’m Pissed off because, like you, I love our club. Its because I love our club that I’m writing this.
You are right, someone Will get hurt soon. Why the Fuck were away fans allowed into an Arsenal Area? I wasn’t on club level but the moment I knew something was wrong, I got hold of my supervisor, told her the situation and then told the ejection stewards their was a problem too. That is how I reacted and that is what I’m trained to do.
I couldn’t take matters into my own hands and go to club level, I can’t leave my own position unattended.
The stewards there didn’t act the way I would have acted and I share your view.
We’ve got Liverpool again on Saturday, And like always, I personally do everything in my power to make sure everything runs smoothly and things like this doesn’t happen.
I hope all other stewards react the same way.
Lastly, We aren’t cunts and we aren’t little hitlers. We aren’t jobs-worths and we aren’t barstewards either. We are people who care enough to be there for your safety.
Wednesday wasn’t a reflection of that
Bud have you got any spares for tomorrow?
Sorry mate, all used up by the Clacton massive !!!!!!!
I think the club’s patience was effected by the number of scousers who got entry to the ground without tickets. They were doubling up in the turnstiles or passing their tickets back.
Cheers mate. Damn Clactonites, can’t believe I’m marrying one!
the only thing that gets my goat with the stewarding rules at Emirates is the standing up thing. if the atmosphere is really getting going or something is happening then people naturally stand up. everyone does it. thats when the stewards appear waving their arms about for everyone to sit down. Dont they realise how stupid this looks at a football match?
fair enough if one idiot is standing but when whole sections are it seems daft.
On a related point, I hate the late comers. I missed a goal the other day when some late arrival walked in front of me to get to his seat. at the vital moment the goal went in. I could have screamed. He should have waited at the top of the steps until a corner, goal kick of free kick was being taken.
I sit back row on Club level and when we stand up to sing we get told to sit down….. so Gooner866, can you tell me why when I am not blocking anyones view?
And please don’t say it for my health and safety, other wise if I can’t stand on my feet safely, how the fuck would I get to the ground !!!!
I hear you gooner866, just a shame a few bad apples are a bunch o’ clowns that have no idea what theyre doing. Thing is, if the opponent’s fans are sitted next to me during a game,I can garrantee that i wouldnt rip his gullet out or pull his lower lip over his head and make him swallow….by the way, if you Do see that happen during your watch, you’ll know its me (¦¬>)
its great to hear from stewards, balances the argument, El Tel has been the only steward on that i have noticed anyway and seems to share your view gooner866
Jokes finally showing Pedro, might have something to do with how long it is. Any scousers feel free NOT to browse the funnies tab!
I was waiting for a stewards response! You took long enough!
Here is my take on it.
Most stewards want to be cool with everyone, but they can’t be… its not their job, crowd safety is.
Some stewards want an easy life… so they will do anything to avoid confrontation. If you are just doing it for a and extra £7 an hour… why the fuck are you going to confront a bunch of yobby fans?
If I worked at Chavski… I wouldn’t give a fuck who was sitting with who! I would never work for chavski though… unless, like i’ve said before the managers job comes up! Then they will be punished…
‘Roman… I assure you Eboue is worth the £63million’
Some stewards do it for the kicks… so being an ass hole is fun. Those are the ones who give them a bad name.
I don’t hate stewards, I just hate it when they are over officious and don’t use common sense.
Your joke got held up in the spam odub!
The way some Stewards treat you is a total infringement of civil liberty……. or as we call it in Essex, “being a c*nt” !!!!!!!!
trying to stay awake and focused and need one of the following 3 please…
1. Riveting chat about Arsenal
2. Jokes
3. Rival fans or Arsene knows brigade blogs to start an argument or WWIII
I hate friday afternoons, they just drag! especially after a vino lunch!
watch this if you want then odub, theo feature

Oh hi guys,
Great site, really I mean that.
I just want to say that Arsene knows an awful lot more about stewarding than any of you fools. His policy of employing 18 year old stewards because they are cheap may not be working right now, but rest assured it will start to bear fruit soon.
As for Eboue, what a fantastic player. So direct, so powerful and so in control of his emotions. We are truly blessed to have him, just like we are blessed to have Arsene.
Oh I have a joke for you,
Why did the girl fall off the swing?
Ask Arsene!
Ho Ho Ho!
Good luck at the weekend boys!
Here is the line up:
Arsene
Arsene Arsene Arsene Arsene

What do you think guys?
Just kidding guys,
Why did the girl fall off the swing?
She had no arms!
Wouldnt load chris, gave up on it!
“Arse”4King, kindly piss off!!youre getting on my nerves on a bright sunny friday afternoon!!
Odub – Bloody good docu/interview with loads of people and Theo about Theo. He turns 19 on Sunday so it is probably for Football Focus or something !

Chris, don’t talk about Loonies to me. Twice you’ve joined us at S&B and both times the Chuckle Brother Tramp turned up for a chat !!!!!!!!!!

Just remembered Bud’s encounter with the pole from yesterday, that’s made me smile again!!
Bud/Pedro, so far how many of the le grove have made the trip to s&b, and how many (apart from me) have turned out to be complete freaks??!!
i thought you were barred odub,
Is the “chuckle brother tramp” the shortish, dark haired bloke with a beer gut and who carries a blue white and red chequered laundry bag ? He was always trooping up and down Blackstock Road when I worked there.
sound like jamie rednapp to me charybdis, but with the gut it must be that other unmentionable cunt
more jokes…
Three bulls heard via the grapevine that the rancher was going to bring yet another bull onto the ranch, and the prospect raised a discussion among them.
First Bull: “Boys, we all know I’ve been here 5 years. Once we settled our differences, we agreed on which 100 of the cows would be mine. Now, I don’t know where this newcomer is going to get HIS cows, but I ain’t givin’ him any of mine.”
Second Bull: “That pretty much says it for me, too. I’ve been here 3 years and have earned my right to the 50 cows we’ve agreed are mine. I’ll fight him till I run him off or kill him, but I’M KEEPIN’ ALL MY COWS.”
Third Bull: “I’ve only been here a year, and so far you guys have only let me have 10 cows to “take care of”. I may not be as big as you fellows (yet) but I am young and virile, so I simply MUST keep all MY cows.”
They had just finished their big talk when an eighteen-wheeler pulls up in the middle of the pasture with only ONE ANIMAL IN IT: the biggest Son-of-Another-Bull these guys had ever seen! At 4700 pounds, each step he took toward the ground strained the steel ramp to the breaking point.
First Bull: “Ahem… You know, it’s actually been some time since I really felt I was doing all my cows justice, anyway. I think I can spare a few for our new friend.”
Second Bull: “I’ll have plenty of cows to take care of if I just stay on the opposite end of the pasture from HIM. I’m certainly not looking for an argument.”
They look over at their young friend, the 3rd bull, and find him pawing the dirt, shaking his horns, and snorting.
First Bull: “Son, let me give you some advice real quick. Let him have some of your cows and live to tell about it.”
Third Bull: “Hell, he can have ALL my cows. I’m just making sure he knows I’M a bull!”
Ah, Fr*** Lard of Lump ?
