If you’re reading this then you have taken at least a few minutes to look around ‘The Armchair Gooner’ and will perhaps return at some point in the future for more. For that alone, I thank you.
In the interest of keeping this a safe environment for the humble football fan – all are welcome – to discuss topics and share opinions, I devised a simple set of rules:
- You can swear all you want in the heat of debate, but abuse directed at other people, especially me, will not be tolerated.
- Fans from other clubs are more than welcome to pop by, but fans with a grudge against Arsenal whose sole purpose is to flame this site to kingdom-come with vitriolic remarks will not be barred at first – I will take great pleasure in changing the content of your comments to something more suitable.
- Consider this an atheists haven, so no extremists preaching please. The only god I believe in is Dennis Bergkamp.
- Please don’t offer me random links to sites about Cheese or whatever extraneous topic you may be peddling. Inquires from other football blogs are more than welcome.
- Please post in English. Unfortunately, I’m not multi-lingual and will have to unapprove any such comments. I fucking hate text-talk and will only tolerate people using abbreviations such as ‘Lolz’ or ‘OMG’ in small measure. Mis-spelling is fine as, let’s be honest, I do enough of that myself.
Those are the basics. If you become a regular and follow them, we’ll get on just fine.
I’ve just read your blog for the first time, after following a link from my usual daily dose of Le Grove. As you might expect, I am a fan of Pedro who writes v.well – in my humble opinion.
You’ve won a new reader, me! I especially like your Rules, Raul.
Keep it going. Much respect. DOUG PEACOCK Tiptree, Essex.
