You too! We're multiplying! (Probably literally soon given the numbers of newlywed gooners :lol:).

My hubby and bdrew's hubby sent us their prized Arsenal kits when our relationships first started. I didn't understand the significance of such a sacrifice until later on. lol

I've been fortunate to have attended three games at the Emirates. Although they may not be as loud as other fans, my hubs surely makes up for that by singing and chanting his heart out. I always left the games a little hoarse.

I've known my husband 12 years and have lived with him over 5 years. That "pants" topic still does not compute with me. Yes. I know the difference but my brain won't acknowledge pants as under garment

The Husband just ran downstairs (after I'd been hearing a lot of commotion up there) and exclaimed: "The dog has gone PROPER mental!" So cute.

Seeeeeeeeeee?! I told you, Otter! Arsenal has the best looking players! If Giroud isn't her cup of tea, I'd suggest Podolski, or Ramsey, or Wilshere, or - ok I'll stop now. :-D

Yep, my hubby recruited me to be a Gooner before we were even a couple. 'oi bird, I fancy you. Wear this shirt' lol

Don't forget Arteta! I think hubs already had his mind set considering he sent me his shirt with his last name on the back ... :D

Same here. It's "Flex Friday" where all the civil servants get to have every other Friday off, so it's dead quiet in here.

haha, him and Giroud both! Sometimes I can't tell if it's gel or sweat holding their hair in place.

Arteta! One of the best players Rangers ever had. Makes me happy he's playing for a big club these days.

Even when the office isn't quiet, I find myself procrastinating and going on here... I filed for voluntary redundancy so I could emigrate with a substantial amount of money. I'll be leaving my post in September, but I fear that mentally I've already checked out.

We love Artie, or at least I do. haha. I am HOPING that Fabregas comes back from Barca. And yes, this site is a way to pass the time when I need a mental breather from my job.

^^ :rofl: Poor guy!! He is certainly not "well fit" or "a bit of alright."

Legend! I was fortunate enough to be sat in the front row at Highbury once and when the players were warming up he was about 5-6 foot away and I said "tell Seaman to sort his hair out Martin" and he laughed and went and said something to Seaman :lol:

Awww Highbury!

My late father-in-law snagged some turf from the pitch many moons ago - back when they let the fans on the pitch after the final home game of the season!
