Does not contain the word Arsenal An Arsenal fan can have many uses; here are just a few:



Protect sheep/cattle & goatsÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃââââÂ¬Ã Â¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¦ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃââââÂ¬Ã Â¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¦ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃââââÂ¬Ã Â¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâæ 


Once an Arsenal fan has bonded with a herd it will protect them against predators (Ipswich fan, West Brom fan, Hen) as it would one of its own. It beds down with the herd at night and on hearing any strange noises will voice a warning to the herd and chase, although rarely catching the predator.



Foal or stable companionÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃââââÂ¬Ã Â¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¦ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃââââÂ¬Ã Â¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¦ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃââââÂ¬Ã Â¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¦ÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃââââÂ¬Ã Â¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâæ

There are very few working Arsenal fans in London today, however, in many developing countries such as France an Arsenal fan is a personÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¾ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãââs most prized possession being used to pull loads and carts and to work mills and wells. The bikini was invented at the same time in 1946 by two Arsenal fans working independently of each other. Jacques Heim got his out first, calling his two-piece bathing suit lÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¡ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ¬ÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¢ÃÆÃ¢Ã¢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦ÃÂ¾ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃââAtome. However, rival Louis Reard trumped him by hiring a skywriter to advertise his Bikini over the Riviera, and his name stuck. Arsenal fans still wear them to this day and admission to the Emirates stadium is actually refused to any Arsenal fans not wearing the traditional apparel. Arsenal fans are not, despite the widely held belief, allergic to spoons. Arsenal fans believe the world is flat Arsenal fans believe the moon is square And made of Cheese <<<<<<< French of course
Very useful information this. Could help people out of tricky situations. You did forget though that 'Arsenal fans are born without an anus thus leaving them full of ****.'
There are three types of Arsenal fan... A) Of Nigerian or Ugandan descent, is accountable for 80% of the ****s who drives 3 series BMW's and sell's drug's. B) Of Middle/Upper class English descent and uses phrases such as "Yah", "Good Egg" and "Economic growth" C) The rare type of gooner who supported them through thick and thin is not welcome at the emirates as they are slightly negative and honest about the failure's of Arsene Wenger. Other Gooner fact's include.... The price of an emirates season ticket is the same as the budget Nasa used to land on the moon. The word "Gooner" in Nigerian roughly translates to "Inferiority complex". Number's to a gooner often change and bare no resemblance to numeracy used across the world - IE 3 is greater than 12, 0 can be used as a greater number than anything if so desired. The Carling Cup is often thought of as the least important competition in English football. However this summer could see it become "far more important" than the premier league, Champions league and La Liga. The average age of a "kid" at the emirates is 25. It is illegal for a gooner to talk about or include in logical thinking their ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã100m+ wage bill. In an interview with the BBC now seized by Arsene's lawyer's he accidentally called the European Cup "Kryptonite".

A genius is a man who see's the future world player of the year (Ronaldo) three times but instead sign's a mediocre player for MORE money (Reyes). A genius also ignores the advice of his scout's to sign the then unknown Didier Drogba for ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã100,000. Scout's, what do they know?. A youth setup or academy is only "the best" if they produce only 1 player in 14 years, and sell's that player to a rival club for not much money. Gooner's believe that developing youth mean's to take a young talented player, unravel anything he's ever learnt and sell him to a mediocre club. As long as there's 5 pence profit its a brilliant setup. Gooner's believe that if a player sign's at age 30 he is a product of their youth and developed under Wenger. Robin Van Persie would beat up Spiderman, Iron Man and the Hulk if he wasn't injured. A petition has been started at the emirates for Fifa to outlaw goal's in football matches and instead base games on who makes the best triangles. Unfortunately the signature box is not long enough for the majority of gooner's surname's.
Apparently Wenger wants the pitch at the Emirates to be turned into a circular shape rather than the current rectangle. The goals will be removed, but the pitch would now feature hurdles (like in showjumping), suspended hoops, a maze and a pool. It'll be a bit like It's a Knockout
Ah! I wasn't aware of that. You learn something new everyday. Whilst this is 100% true. I feel we must honour their customs and traditions when referring to them. As I mentioned in the first post So actually, the average age of a "div" in the emirates is 25 It's an easy mistake to make tho. There is such a lot to know about these strange people. For instance did you know an Arsenal stands up and sits down about 14 times a day.
Arsenal fans have petitioned the Oxford English Dictionary to redefine the term invincible so that rather than meaning 'unbeatable' or 'invulnerable', it should mean 'rarely beaten'. They are still waiting for a reply from the OED.
Borats man thong was once owned by Arsene Wenger on a goodwill visit to Cambodia in 1998. Before his birth in 1654 Arsene Wenger was the olde english phrase for Arse Bender. It takes 8 weeks for an Arsenal fan to turn full circle. For this reason they can only perform the action 3 times a year and only after 4pm on thursdays. Most people use 10% of their brain capacity. Arsenal fans use 10% of their toes. Arsenal fans were hunted to near extinction in the late 18th century. they are now a protected species. Arsenal fans have 3 eyes. 2 act very much like any normal set of eyes but the 3rd sees the world from an Arsenal viewpoint. Many Arsenal fans only view the world through their 3rd eye. Arsenal fans didnt see, hear or do anything no matter what you say. People believe the show 'Shameless' is based on 'Stoops' estate in Burnley, Lancashire. I can infacat confirm this is not the case, its based on Arsenal FC. Frank is Tony Adams. Arsenal fans can only get semis in europe. The average Arsenal fan produces 4 tonnes of toxic waste an hour. The following words are removed from the Arsenal dictionary, Trophies, win, success, money, first, winners, final. Arsene Wenger is a Tottenham fan.
