Unfortunately GG you've given too much information away. I too now know where you live. I just don't know what you look like, but that won't be much of a problem, as I'm betting there's only gonna be one fit lady streaking down your 'high' street. :D
you're assuming i'm fit!
Kind of hoping you're fit so the experience of watching you run naked down the high street will be an enjoyable one, and hoping you're not so fit that you can streak past in the blink of an eye. :wink:

BBC Sport wrote:Tim Payton, spokesman for the Arsenal Supporters Trust (AST), describes it a "a culture shock, a wake-up call for Arsenal fans who have been used to enjoying St Totteringham's Day".

That is the name Arsenal followers jokingly give to the date each season when Spurs cannot mathematically finish above Arsenal.

Unfortunately for them, that holiday looks like it will not be celebrated in 2012 and many of those fans are questioning how it has come to this.
Is this true? St Totteringham's Day??? This bloke's having a larf surely.
And what's the Arsenal Supporters Trust? a fund to find and encourage support for Arsenal!!! sounds a bit desperate if you need to support your supporters.

The first i wouldn't have a clue wheter you would enjoy it or not (theres some photos of me on here somewhere so you can make your own mind up!) but i can tell you, unfortunately, it would not be over in the blink of an eye!

Yes, St Totteringhams day, a movable feast but happens most years (except possible not this one :( ) Normally one of the high points of a gooners season.

And i've just offered a ticket for the derby on sunday - have to rearrange a few things so i can go but hoping and praying i will come back a very happy gooner on sunday evening...

I dunno, 6 points a season against Bolton could be classed as a high too for most Arsenal fans ;)

Yup. Thank heavens for that. He's gone back to his old club in Russia.

What a strange cameo he had with the Arse.

Seemed like God on Earth for a season & then faded & now he's seen like the worst player ever seen.

How does that happen ??
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

He clearly had the potential - I went and watched him play against Blackburn not that long after he arrived and he was amazing - and who can forget when he scored 4 against Liverpool? But he had a bit of a purple patch and then for several seasons now he's just not done the business. He's lazy, doesn't track back, has a bit of a mouth on him and I'm not that gutted he's gone. Rosicky and Diaby next please. Need to get rid of this dead wood.

everyone except Van Persie (though he'll probably go of his own choice), Oxtail, the unspellable keeper and Wilshere?

No, certainly not Walcott, he will come good. Wouldn't class Arteta in that category either, benyaoun is a sub anyway, not fussed if he goes or stays. Mertesacker am undecided on. Chamakh I would be keen to see the back of and Debilson and bendtners loan deals made permenant...

Would you not want shot of that rubbish goalie too (Aluminium or whatever he's called)? I know you've got got a goodun in now but if he gets injured you're a bit stumped.
