Better of staying at Celtic.

Hard to knock the bloke for taking the job but still, as an Arsenal fan, I hope it goes terribly.

Have you ever been to an Arsenal game Ti Em? I went to Highbury when in the UK in the 70s and 80s and in 2010 at the Emirates, great days out!

Sounds great. I lived in London for 13 years and did not see Arsenal play live as much as I love them. I lived in North London for most of my time including a year in Tottenham. What a fucking shithole that place is. Mostly I lived in Arsenal territory (Islington, Hampstead, and Crouch End) and it was much nicer. Chalk and cheese really.

The closet I came to going to see Arsenal play was a Champions league game when someone I knew who had a season ticket and couldn't go to the game. But they wanted 50 quid. And it was freezing cold so I didn't go. I regret not going to a game now especially during the Wenger years (a great man). Especially not seeing the great Thierry Henry play.

I have been to the Ashburton Grove ground a few times with work. Could even hear it some nights rocking back in the Champions League era. Believe it or not, generally (the new stadium) is considered to have a poor atmosphere!

The first game I saw live was in 1979 when Arsenal broke a long winning run by Nottingham Forest by beating them 2-1. In 2010  I attended the Emirates to watch the Gunners beat Fulham 2-1. Aussie Mark Schwarzer was Fulham's keeper.

Ang is in danger of embaressing the new manager of Celtic both north and south of the border.
