[loco61]

4-0 3-0 0-0 4-0
too much respect!!

Sadly I and many others won't have the chance to attend this momentous fixture against a true BEHEMOTH of world football.

With this in mind, I would call upon all other expat Seagulls around the world to seek out their local Arsenal supporters group and thank them for the opportunity of such a wondrous fixture.

Without going unnecessarily overboard, a complimentary round of drinks for the supporters would probably be appropriate too.

Rest assured I will be watching in my local Spanish Arsenal supporters bar wearing my Brighton shirt. The last time, two years ago, I ended up chanting, "You only sing when you're winning!"
No bother, they are all pensioners like me! Some good banter btw.

It is an awesome privilege for us to host such a magnificent club

I am going to e mail Mr Barber in the morning suggesting that 1901 should be cleared out and filled with selected Arsenal fans along the lines of an airline upgrade and that includes Des's hallowed seat.
The 1901 ers can squeeze in somewhere else for the night.
Every Gooner in 1901 should be given a commemorative medal and a blow job.

sorry no far cough why let them think the are better than us at the start of the game ?

I'm sorry but I might draw the line from a personal contribution angle at a half/half scarf

They are special. Its ARSENAL.

Show some respect.

You're taking this quite seriously, aren't you?

its what comes of replying before reading the whole 5 pages,, oh adn a dislike of cockneys,, and of course lots of red wine .

The laying of the temporary helicopter pad on the pitch for them to arrive at 1.15 is a lovely touch. It's not often I get there that early but I will for this special event.

 

[surlyseagull]

Surely that's beside the point. This is Arsenal, the third biggest club in the Premier League and current cupholders.

Of course we should offer a guard of honour to show our respect for them.

I am all for a bit of sportsmanship etc ,but with all due respect ...they are a football team with 11 men running about who just happen to earn millions for the privilege of showing off their undoubted skills .

I'm not sure you're quite grasping the sheer magnitude of the football club we are playing host to. You do realise we're playing ARSENAL ? Frankly I'd be honoured to be in the same COUNTY as them, let alone the same stadium. Win lose or draw I'll be applauding the Arsenal players onto and then off the pitch, and will spend most of the game just gawping slack-jawed at their team. Probably dribbling.

Arsenal. Its Arsenal.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Let all wear red it's the least we can do

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I would like to see our players take selfies and swop shirts with those Arsenal greats on the pitch before kick off.

I would like to clarify that I meant for some chicks, hand picked and checked over by the club to dish out the above.
Thank you

I hope that they get to choose which dug out they use.

And, for this game only, Good Old Sussex By The Sea should be replaced with Good Old Arsenal. (Written by Jimmy Hill, fact fans.)

Classic NCS thread, reminds me of that 'how many are they bringing down' Forest one a couple of seasons back. BensGrandad you are priceless!
