Well, I have quite a few random things I regret. -At the age of 7, I should have chosen the home kit instead of my away kit. -I never had satelite until halfway through last season, so the Leicster match was the only match I watched on TV in our unbeaten season. I had to follow BBC's minute by minute text commentry every match. I never got to see any of the beautiful flowing play that Arsenal played. -When I went to Highbury to watch us play PSV, I never thought to look for Arsene Wenger. I was so excited about being where I was, i couldn't think straight! -Also at that match, I had to rush back to where I lived because the people I stayed with wasn't expecting me to get a ticket for the match, so I never got to slowly exit and wander around the stadium, probably the last time I'll ever be there. -I should have bought the 'PSV vs Arsenal' match scarf after the match. -I should have got a name and number put on my new away shirt when I was in London, because I can't get it done now. -I should have celebrated more when we won trophies, because it may be very hard to come by in this day and age. -I should have pushed my father to get us tickets for the Bolton game when I was there. Soo, now that I've made a fool of myself, let me hear your regrets.
I shouldn't have got my Unbeaten 49 name and number printed on the back of the unbeaten season blue away shirt done at the cheapest sports store that did it as its coming off the shirt. No1ArsenalFan
My only reget Arsenal-wise is that I should have gone to Highbury earlier. Didn't get there until last season and probably won't get there this spring.
I need another day in the week. Plus I regret adding up what it cost me to follow the team last season. I'll never do that again - fantasies about just spending £2000 a season will stay with me from now on!!
Coolto read this stuff, cheers guys. But just to go a bit off topic abit, perhaps Rick will know the answer. I was told by a ManUtd supporter that he went up to the training ground in Carrington and got autographs from the players as they were leaving. I want to know if this is possible with Arsenal. Is it possible to go to their training ground and get autographs, because if i got to go, i'd sh!te myself!
Nope, it's enclosed with security and the players are told to drive past anyone waiting outside without stopping due to "security concerns" and complaints from nearby residents.
I regret people not paying Rick. I regret that the concession stands in the north bank upper at Highbury only serve Budweiser.
Well if it makes you feel any better I get up at 5am on sunday mornings to travel across this country to play your countrys national sport!
The only thing I regret is not getting a beer at the half of the one game I could ever attend at Highbury. 2002 Newcastle v Arsenal FA Cup Replay.
-Having the same last name as a Sp*r -Not having Internet until 2002, so I could only find out what Arsenal was doing when I went to Britain in the summer -Having to watch FSN's one very delayed Premiership match every week until this year -Watching FSN's crappy Premiership highlights until this year (thank god for Match of the Day ) -Not having Fox Soccer Channel -Only finding out about Maxxed Football Forum in February and the access to every Arsenal match there -Having to watch every live Arsenal match on Chinese streams -Not having time to visit Highbury when I went to London three years ago -That the American media could care less about the beautiful game
Not discovering Arsenal until later in life. I feel like I missed alot of wonderful players and moments and that sucks. Not being able to make it to Highbury ever in my life. Not having access to FSC anymore. Living in a country that doesn't really seem to care about the beautiful game, and then living in a part of the country where there appears to be no supporters around me....just 2 people that "like" Arsenal. (and one of them makes it to Highbury). I can't wait until Catfish gets settled in and we can hopefully storm Toledo together. I miss Arsenal so much....I feel like I am missing a part of me.
- Not starting to follow Arsenal earlier, because not only did I miss "Anfield '89", but, when I tell people when I started following, they automatically assume I'm a glory hunter! - Only getting to Highbury for a couple of games. - Never meeting Rick B in person. - Sometimes getting too drunk in Taiwan and missing the games at the pub! - Missing today's game because I started a new job!
I regret not going on the ArseAm trip two months ago! Turns out this spring will be way more busy than last fall...I fvcked myself! Now there's a damn good chance I'll not get back to THOF!
Oh, man, does that shatter an illusion! That I wasn't born in North London. That my wife and I chose this year to remodel, and my son's orthodontist chose this year to do the braces, so I'll never see Highbury.
Not taking video of the stadium during the Portsmouth match with the crowd atmosphere. Instead I have to settle for video of a dead Highbury I took at night with these weird lights covering half the field. That'll be my last memory of that field. But I guess it's better than nothing.
not ever being inside highbury during the day...as I've only been twice...once for the pompey match the other nite and the other takin a tour at nite w/ the glowing f-ing pitch....oh and not gettin the chance to drink a PBR w/ rick
