10. To take the place of watching Henry weave through a defense, you watch old ladies in wheelchairs weave their way through the grocery store.
9. Everytime your son hits a batter in Little League, you claim you didn’t see it.
8. You can’t find a good reason to go to the pub at 8 in the morning now.
7. You build an Arsenal foosball table the size of a Buick so you can accurately simulate Cole making a run up the wing and Gilberto laying back.
6. You start referring to your kids as ‘my youth side’.
5. When that neighbor that you hate has a party, you feel the need to bring your fellow Gooners over and celebrate in his backyard in front of his friends.
4. You watch the Preakness just to see if van Nistlerooy is spending his offseason doing what you think he should be doing.
3. After your boss tells you to work late, you stand up and start singing “My manager’s a w*nker!”
2. You walk around the house in a black man-thong just to “be Vieira”.
And the number 1 Sign that You’re Going Through Arsenal Withdrawal:
1. You read the Sun for the latest transfer rumors!

Sign No.11,
The posts on this website go from bad to appalling.
Go outside and get some sun.

No.11
Foxsports world suck soo much they make Spurs looks better. How on earth they wouldn?t show the most important game of the season. And to all the so-called football fans don?t even try it, Div 1 play offs final is the most expensive game of the season. Facts and no fiction.
There is no excuse for this while they have the feed form sky sports. Fu*king hell am paying for that crap service of replays and paid programming. Thank God for BBC radio but sometimes that is the price for living abroad.
Well-done Flying Eagles. All about South London here today.

12. Silly little cowards signed “Anonymous” crawl back out from under their sorry rocks to a site that they profess to dislike yet evidently visit regularly having finally managed to scrap the remaining egg from their faces and thinking that everyone has finally forgotten the unfounded and completely unintelligently supported premature prophecies of doom that have littered these posts.
Congrats to Palace and all the new squads that will join in on the heretofore impossible task of tripping our brilliant lads.
Amusing post, jwaldman11. Welp, time to go get some more sun!

Here is how I am beating post-championship withdrawal:
Reading Miles Palmer’s ‘The Professor’ and re-living the other two championship winning seasons under Wenger. It is much more interesting than pondering the numerous reasons why Mourinho will underacheive at Chelsea (he should go to Liverpool, but thankfullly for the Arse he won’t), or waiting for Euro 2004 to start, which is bound to be an anti-climax anyway.
A gem from 1997: Here is Wenger commenting on Ian Wright breaking Cliff Basten’s reecord for goals at the club: ‘It’s a historical moment for the club because maybe we will have to wait a hundred years for somebody to beat the record.’
Henry was still two years away from joing the club and will certainly break the record less than ten years after it was set.
And of course the great man has said simliar things about going undefeated in the league this year. Make what you will of that.

Actually, I’m pretty sure Setanta has all rights to League football in the US, hence FSW not showing the game. Why show it there when they can show it at a pub and get more $$$ for it?
It sucks, but them’s the breaks.
