Pussy whipped mate. Thats a poor excuse. ;)

Mind you not as bad as one of my Filth mates who missed Filth V Arsenal because it was his girlfriend's dad's birthday. Seriously.

Girlfriends dad's birthday? f***ing faggit.

Like I said before... I've barely missed a handful of games over a 14 year period. Been with my girl since I was 16. She's put up with a lot over the years.

I blew out a holiday with her family coz I didn't wanna miss the last game at highbury. A two week holiday for one game! I got stories for days.

Easily the right decision, Henry's penalty in front of the Clock End was one of those moments you say "I was there" and in this case you'll have the t-shirt to prove it! :lol:

Which 'end' was that? Have they put the Clock inside the stadium now?

You missed the whole discussion, they were talking about Highbury.

Yeah, I know that. I was wondering if it had been brought into the stadium (hence the question) but was told he was talking about a discussion about Highbury.

I never saw a game from anywhere other than The North Bank. Fantastic view, fantastic atmosphere.

And dry!
