CANUCKBEAR10 3 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 So we got this kids from Arsenal who was brought back to the club right out of the blue after a successful spell at Sheff. Utd. Do you think them loaning us this guy has anything to do with a potential bid for McShagger and Bougie in the summer?? Just a thought. What u's think?

Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 We have a long standing friendship with Arsenal dating back many many years and we used to play them every pre season.Obviously this has waned in recent years but traditionally they are/were strongly connected to us.

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 No, historically Rangers and Arsenal were very close before the huge influx of Irish bigots to London when that link was diluted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Historically we used to have a very strong relationship with Arsenal, prior to every season starting we always used to play a friendly with them, one season we'd play at Arsenal and the following season they'd play at Ibrox, can't remember if it was after the First World War or the Second, but the first game played was between Arsenal and us and if I remember correctly it was to help unite the public following the conflicts.Can't remember the name of the cup we used to share, but there was a friendly cup, it's also noted that Arsenal actually had shares in Ranger and vice versa a gift that was given between the two chairmen/owners at the time who were very good friends.Some of that might not be 100% correct but not too far away.

Gaffbear 4,174 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think they want Boogie but there is mutual respect between Walter and Arsene..Most clubs would deal with Walter and Ally and see lennon as a fuckin mug ,bigot and thug.The lad will toughen up in Scotland and play in Europe therefor it's beneficial for Arsenal.

caseyjones 3,009 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I may be tempted to write an article for the site on The Rangers and The Arsenal, if anyone is interested?Nah! A wee snippet for you.Dr. Adam Little, a local GP, played for Glasgow Rangers and Greenock Morton. During the war he would play for Arsenal and the Army.Dr Adam LittleI was called up to the army on a Saturday.. and on that Saturday we were playing Celtic, so I wrote to the CO and asked if I could be excused and he let me off!The sergeant in the mess was a fellow I played football with, a goalkeeper with Blantyre Vic. This fellow Gillespie he said there's a doctor in Aldershot who wants to see you, Jimmy McKillop, he wants you to go up for afternoon tea and I go away along to Aldershot and theres tea dancing and so that was my introduction to the Army and while I was there I played for the Arsenal, I used to go up, I'd leave on the Friday, go up and stay in a hotel in London, Arsenal payed my digs, well the boys used to come up on the Saturday and I stayed Saturday night and they stayed in the hotel room, they couldn't get accommodation so they slept on the floor, three or four of my pals!When I went out to the Middle East, I arrived at the transit camp.. the CO posted me to GHQ Cairo Surplus T as a surplus doctor - I was posted there so I could play football for the army. I played for the army and the combined team, the Wanderers against the Egyptians and the CO says to me well we've got to beat these Egyptians...I said there's only one way, to select 14,15 players and all stay together and train together. We did that for a fortnight. The boys were all excused duties and we played them and won. The CO said what would you like to do now and I said 'I'd like to do a tour of Cyprus. Right! and it was organised, we went to Cyprus. A cooks tour! The soldiers came from miles around..The Wanderers had International players - like Harry Johnstone, Andy McLaren. We went all over Palestine and it was amazing, the fellows were fed up with life really, confined to barracks, and areas and the like. They appreciated the football teams coming to play for them.
