Guest Shaun Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 people going on about Burundi day, are you aware we did it last season for France/Argentina/Senegal etc? What a bunch of horrible cunts. How dare they. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 people going on about Burundi day, are you aware we did it last season for France/Argentina/Senegal etc? I think its especially nice personally because he isn't one of our superstar players like a Demba, a Yohan/Hatem or a Jonas/Colo. It'd be like us holding a France day just for Gabriel Obertan.

Belfast Mags Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 people going on about Burundi day, are you aware we did it last season for France/Argentina/Senegal etc? Just thought that given his personal story, it is a really terrific gesture and it would really make him feel appreciated and welcome as a young kid stepping out into a different City a fair bit from Home in Coventry. Plus it's a nice gesture to his family as well. He's our only Burundi born player so it's a special thing imo Thought is was a positive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll have a Dutch day soon for Anita and Krul. Just the way some were going on made them seem unaware we'd done it before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The Burundi Day lunch nearly had be blubbing ffs, such a class thing to do for a young guy. Careful sunshine, that regional title is already taken....until Biggie kicks off a few wing mirrors and we celebrate by trashing a metro and smearing our own waste on the walls, I dont think we can even pretend to have 'class'. Seriously though, I agree about the whole vibe around the club, even daft things like the painballing and whitewater kayak days do nothing but improve team spirit. I'd love to know which genius is behind it because they deserve as much recognition as anyone at the club right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I know some saw it as cheesy, but I was always impressed when the Arsenal fans did a "Bergkamp day" for a match. A Coloccini day would definitely liven up a potentially boring game. http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/turn-highbury-orange-for-dennis-bergkand-day- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's a shame them programmes have to have such wacky individuals on, cos it'd be good TV otherwise - i like countdowns n shit, even if i disagree with the majority.

Anderson Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Aye, caught the end of it last week, it was awful. Their top 10 especially so, Shearer's celebration, which they basically just mocked for 2 minutes, made it in at around 3 as one of the most 'amazing' moments. 4-4 at #32 is a joke.

Just getting to the top 20, so cheers. Hoping for 5-0 and cisse Chelsea goal. Think 4-4 was 36, 32 was mackem hat trick of own goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Can't remember seeing either of those, so if they're there they're fairly low down. The 4-3 is in amongst it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Spuds have been ripped to death throughout, 3 times against Manu, twice arsenal, 10% of this program at least is about taking the piss out of spurs. Edit: once against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
