Just when you thought you were safe to go back to the forum…just when you thought you’d never have to read a long, rambling, matchday thread ever again…
Hey, yo.
“Life is like a box of chocolates,” he thought to himself, “You never know what you’re gonna get”. Then he wondered, where had he heard that before? Was it in a book, a movie? He was never very good with quotes, but, he did know chocolate and he did know football. And in his head, the phrase has never been more true. Last year, he had bought an obscenely large number of boxes of chocolates and, if he was honest, they all tasted the same after a bit as he stuffed them into his face. But this year, carefully selecting only the finest boxes and taking the time to really enjoy them, well – it was heavenly.
Right, that’s enough of that nonsense, I’m making those of you on a diet crave chocolate.
The last game before the international break saw Forest’s great run come to an end when Newcastle managed to rather out-Forest Forest. Arsenal are up next, and whilst they are a damn good team – Nuno’s boys have gone nose-to-nose with some of the best teams in the Premier League this year and have looked competitive.
And now, it’s time once again for the moment you’ve all been waiting for – it’s Congo’s Match Facts! A recurring series running from now until work begins on the new stands at the City Ground
Arsenal are one of only two teams to not have a place in the UK within their club name, having been founded as the Dial Square Football Club, before being renamed ‘Royal Arse and All’, in honour of Prince Andrew, ‘Woolwich Arsenal’ and finally settling on The Arsenal Football Club when they got the hell out of Woolwich
Arsenal are commonly known as ‘The Gunners’, in honour of the massive amount of gun crime that has surrounded all of the various London homes or ‘The Gooners’ because of their fans’ incredible sense of humour.
Arsenal’s home stadium is named the Emirates as a testament to the obscene amounts of money that the Arab country have laundered through English Football.
The modern Arsenal squad is truly a testament to the International nature of the game, with players from all across the globe, including four Brazilians. Yeah, but can they do it on a rainy night in Nottingham, hmmm?
Arsenal are owned by Stan Kroenke, an American billionaire who also the LA Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Rapids and Screaming Eagle Winery and Vineyards, amongst others. And people think Marinakis has an empire…
Arsenal’s mascot is Gunnersaurus Rex, a smiling, 7-foot-tall green dinosaur, who is based on a drawing by an 11 year old, his official backstory is that he hatched from an egg found during cleaning out of their trophy cabinet.
