However I do remember sitting in a bar near White Hart Lane after our semi-final victory last year when a brick was thrown threw the window narrowly missing a man. As you said, quite sad.

While I do appreciate a bit of banter between rival team fans there are those, from all teams, that take it too far.
I don't suppose I'll be seeing you in the new shop then?

As for the comments about Tottenham fans I personally hope they stay well away and don't cause trouble as it would be extremely shameful to their club. However, I suppose they are Spurs fans so they must be use to shame (sorry couldn't help myself)!!!!

I would like to question why you feel exposing a child to football is inappropriate..? I personally see nothing wrong with introducing a child the dedication and commitment of Arsenal. Surely it can only be perceived as good thing to show a child the greatness that comes from being a true team player. I think that we should introduce more of our children to sports at a young age; maybe this would enable us, as a country, to develop some great sportsmen/women.

Anyway - yeah - an exposure to football is an excellent thing. Especially if Arsenal ever start playing it properly.
