Any Arsenal?!
Lol...I think I will keep those. I do have every shirt they've played in since 1998 and a few of the older ones. Problem is I mostly have my own name on them, apart from a couple - one has Ljungberg, one has Bergkamp, one has Wright, obv. my new home top will have either Gilberto or Adebayor and my Redcurrant top? That had to go with the most legendary Arsenal player of my time - PARLOUR! Seriously I have Parlour 15 on the back of that top lol! I wanted something original and I haven't got anything else on there. When I went to games last year it was always a topic of conversation.

Oh, and I passed 2,000 posts recently. Go me :D

[red & wite army]

Well I joined BS a few months after you and I somehow have something silly like 3250 posts...thats a lot of time at the computer!

I can't argue with Romford Pele, he did alot for the club and was always commited to the cause. Flamini reminds me alot of him.
The reason I don't get my name is because I want to keep the shirts for as long as possible and then maybe give them to my children (lol) so the only names I've ever had is FABREGAS 4, REYES 9, BERGKAMP 10, GOD 14 and GILBERTO 19.

I still can't believe I've never had a PIRES 7 shirt, he's been one of my favs ever!

Next season it has to be TOURE 5 or ROSICKY 7 although I've always been a big fan of Hleb.

[Skizz]

Oh yeah, I have the long sleeved Dreamcast home top with Pires 7 and Premiership patches. I'll take some pics when I get in. When I go training I love wearing that top and doing the classic "finger-wag" celebration when I score lol

Worst choices ever - my friend has the new home top with COLE 3 (hillarious) and he ALSO got JEFFERS 9 on his o2 top!! Bad luck or what!!

[red & wite army]

Haha, Jeffers - now that really does suck!

That guy with the COLE shirt surely can't wear it...it would just be impossible.
The fact is that the the first choice name I wanted on my Arsenal shirts was COLE 3 because he was my favourite player for ages and I always watched him for tips! Nowadays I play a similar game to him because of watching him so much.:(

I remember some1 on the Arsenal forum getting VIERA on his redcurrant shirt just before he left, but that isn't bad at all because he was amazing for us and lots of people got old players names on the redcurrant shirt anyways.

Speaking of playing like certain players, the freakiset thing I ever experienced was watching Kilgallon of Leeds last season. I am like the carbon copy of what he plays like (obviously worse though)! When ever he had the ball I was thinking 'OK do this"and he would do exactly what i would do in every situation...

[Skizz]

I quite like Matty Kilgallon. My football manager is a Leeds fan so after matches last season we would often stay behind and watch Leeds if they were on, and I was quite impressed by him, more so than Healy and Hulse!

What player do I play like...hmmm last season a lot of my team-mates called me Cisse. I had a lot of tramlines in my hair, and I was quick off the blocks. They mainly call me that now because more often than not I wump shots in from anywhere and everywhere. As one of my mates put it, "when they go in they are spectacular, but when they don't...lets not go there"!!

[red & wite army]

On the topic of shots...I get so frustrated with them! Sometimes my shooting is horrendous so then I concentrate on what I'm doing and then it is fine, but then I concentate too much and I end up messing up, so then I don't think about anything and then it is fine, but then I start messing up!

[Skizz]

Most of the time my shooting is good. I can beat a keeper simply on the basis of pace as I have the quickest shot of my team. You're right though, it is frustrating when things don't go right. I often find I shoot better when I'm under pressure and I literally think "shoot" and do it, as opposed to having time to make my mind up. That's why at one on ones, I get to the edge of the box and shoot before the goalie can set himself, as opposed to having to make the round the keeper/chip the keeper/shoot past the keeper/pass decision!

[red & wite army]

Sounds a bit like real Ronaldo in the old days, it almost seemed like he was taking just another stride but instead he rocketed it in.

You see Cannavaro's, wpoty, performance yeasterday...sounded like he had a bit of a Sol vs West Ham performance and was at fault for two goals...ironically he would have been suspended for the match but got his second yellow taken away.

You guys that celebrate it looking forward to Christmas? I wasn't up until yesterday for some reason.

Oh BTW, Gilberto has 5 goals in the league this season...if he had one more he would be on the top scoring charts!

[Skizz]

Five goals...wow that's a lot for him!

I am looking forward to it, first christmas with the baby and that. No football boots as presents this year tho :(

Didn't see anything of Cannavaro, better SkySports.com it!

[red & wite army]

Yeah, 6 in all competitions!

Whats a Christmas without boots as presents?!:p Actually last Christmas I got Mist Blue Vapors II's...wow I loved what those things looked like..it feels like ages ago that I got them. Too bad they broke and I got Legends as the replacement in the wrong size...I just need a size down! Now they just sit in their box doing nothing.

Found this on SkySports:

"Many Arsenal supporters would maintain that giving Thierry Henry the captain's armband has not been a successful move but his temporary stand-in, Gilberto Silva, seems to be relishing the added responsibility. The Brazilian has scored three times in Arsenal's last four Premiership matches and now has five league goals for the season, just one short of his total for the previous four campaigns he has spent in the top-flight."

[kaitster]

I can't WAIT until Christmas! Today is finally my last day of school, and besides for two tests, it should be alright.

So so so excited!

[thebigman]

id rather silva was the captain when henry played

[AHCL20]

But IMO the armband is one of the things which probably helped keep Henry at Arsenal.

And you probably shouldn't strip someone of captaincy because he had been injured and someone else is playing well. That's just not 'gentleman' conduct.

[red & wite army]

Well alot of fans would rather have Gilberto as captain but Henry is never gonna be stripped of the captaincy and I wouldn't even want to imagine what he would play like if he was! I think its sad that him being captain was one of the reasons he stayed but what do us fans know anyway?

[Skizz]

It has taken Gilberto to another level being skipper, but there's no point in talking about him keeping it as it will never happen. Hopefully seeing Gilberto outdo him as skipper will kick Henry's arse into action and he will start playing like a captain as opposed to a spoilt brat!

[red & wite army]

I got this shirt in the beginning of the year and this is Theo Walcott during the WC...I never even wear the shirt because i don't really like it!:p

Well I wouldn't mind playing less if I had a gf like his...she obviously isn't rediculously hot:p
