OLD ARSENAL SONGS
Charlie once again makes sense. Nothing that I would disagree with, maybe its my rose tinted glasses but fuck me they were some wonderful times. Full of passion and pride. Who cared if we won nothing, who cared if sometimes we played like shit. We loved The Arsenal. The days when you just turned up and met your mates, the players had pride in the badge, the days when you could meet a player in the local, corporate hospitality wtf was that, I could go on forever. And dont get me started on pc!!!charliegeorgewhocanhitem wrote:Different time, another planet I spose, just glad I had my my time and past during Reg's era.

I'm not saying those who weren't there dont love it like we did. JCL is a mentality.

Nope. It doesn't. Non-doms. bad luck.ds wrote:Hi DaveyxDAVEYx wrote: born in 87
Lets hope the credit crunch affects the prawn sandwich brigade as much as it affects us. Will they still love Arsenal as much if they cant sit in there comfy seated, sterile environment? Will they come and slum it with the riff raff? Methinks not.
Yes. In fact, we are still trying to get a regular ST.
Fuck off.

Hopefully things will improve at the new place Reb but a lot of the passion seems to have gone, not just from us, it's a general thing I think and even the geordies seemed a wee bit subdued by their standards the other week. Maybe it's just my old age tho
Just catching up on this thread and was surprised none of the old farts had posted these before.chunkyandy wrote:charley charley

I was wondering if the Charlie song could be used for Nasri if he keeps going the way he started. I don't see why we can't use "Highbury", geographically it is where we are.

Never went to Highbury, so, well, no comparison.charliegeorgewhocanhitem wrote:Glad you're enjoying it mateSWLGooner wrote:not that bad...charliegeorgewhocanhitem wrote:Different time, another planet I spose, just glad I had my my time and past during Reg's era.

Watching Arsenal is just good enough, and, not knowing highbury, I can say there's no better stadium.. ..apart from singing..

I spose us old fuckers will always compare and those of us who had been going to Highbury since we were nippers will find the change hard. After the initial novelty of the new place quickly wore off I really hav'nt enjoyed it so far. Hopefully things will improve and people like yourself will only ever know Ashburton Grove anyway.SWLGooner wrote:Never went to Highbury, so, well, no comparison.charliegeorgewhocanhitem wrote:Glad you're enjoying it mateSWLGooner wrote:not that bad...charliegeorgewhocanhitem wrote:Different time, another planet I spose, just glad I had my my time and past during Reg's era.
