Welcome to RHF: In The Spotlight. I am FezNTFC, and I will be asking questions about the members of RHF. The questions are interesting, crazy, whacky, serious, personal, intimate, and some are just downright rude!!
This weeks member in the hotseat is our resident Arsenal fan Mark.

Personal:
What is your name?
I'm a Catholic so have 4 names. Mark John Matthew Luke Cunningham.
How old are you?
I am 24; and will be 25 in September.
Which city/town/village do you currently live in?
Stevenage in Hertfordshire. I live in the nicer part of the town, but it is still a poo heap. Better than Walthamstow in London or Cheshunt in Herts.
Picture: Stevenage. Birthplace of Lewis Hamilton, Kevin Phillips and Ian Poulter.
Tell us one thing we don't know about you?
I'm tempted to say no. But I will tell you one thing that I have never let slip on here. I am a sufferer of very mild Asperger's Syndrome. Google it if you don't know it. This explains why I get so upset and bitchy sometimes.
Have you got an "Other Half"?
I wish. Last girlfriend I had slept with my so called best friend so I have been off them for a while. Until recently.
What school/uni/college did you go to?
I went to 2 different Secondary Schools. I started in Holy Family College in Walthamstow for the first year and a half. Then when my Mum and stepdad moved to Cheshunt I attended St Mary's High School.
What subjects did you study and what were your favourite ones?
I did 8 GCSE's and out of all them I loved English Language, History and Business Studies most. Maths was not my best subject, as the teacher was a reformed alcholic who wouldn't help us. Bloody bitch.
What is your Goal in life? Have you achieved it?
My goal was to find a job I can do and like and not worry about other people. I haven't managed to meet the goal, but who knows in the future?
What is your favourite:
Band?
Not fair. I like a fairly eclectic mix of music so I would say my favourite changes from week to week depending on mood. At the moment, I am in a Queen mood.
Picture: Queen
Album?
Again, like above changes from week to week. But at the moment it woud have to be a compilation album boought from Morrisons about the best Number 1s in the UK.
Film?
Die Hard With A Vengeance as I like Bruce Willis. Also, a special mention for Bend It Like Beckham as it brought to my eyes the stunning beauty of Parminder Nagra.
TV Programme?
Lots really. But to save racking my brains I will say that I am currently still going through my phase of watching WWE.
Dinner Guest?
Tough one. I would say Tony Adams. He is a good example of what addicts can do if they want to turn their lives around.
Meal?
Anything homemade. But for my alltime fav, my Nan's homemade Steak and Kidney pie. Homemade pastry, gravy everything. I can eat a whole pie in one sitting it's that nice.
Celebrity partner?
Parminder Nagra.
Football:
Who is your favourite Arsenal player ever?
Toughie. It is a toss up between Ian Wright and Dennis Bergkamp. Both were outstanding servants to the club, and Wrighty set a benchmark for Henry to try and overtake. Bergkamp was always there with a little pass or shot on goal. He is sorely missed in the lineup currently.
Who is your favourite current Arsenal player?
Currently it is Jack Wilshere. He is showing some excellent potential and if nurtured properly he could become a great player.

What was your first football match? Score? Where was it?
If I remember correctly, the first match I ever saw was an Arsenal reserves match. Can't remember where, who and score. The first Senior Arsenal game I watched was the notorious 1991 FA Cup Semi Final against Spurs at Wembley. My mum worked for Barclays and got 2 tickets for it. We lost 2-1.
Your favourite Arsenal memory?
The last match ever played at Highbury. The atmosphere inside the ground was incredible and you couldn't hear yourself think.
Your worst Arsenal memory?
Nayim's lob in 1995. Boy did I have the wee taken out of me the next day.
Opposition player you love to despise?
Anyone who plays for the Scum. Ronaldo too, but he's buggered off. Henry for being a traitor to Arsenal.
Opposition player you secretly admire?
Shrek Rooney, Fat Frank Lampard and Captain Gormless John Terry.
Best goal you've ever seen live?
Roberto di Matteo scoring after 42 seconds in the 1997 FA Cup final. Again, my mum got tickets for it.
Worst blunder you've ever seen live?
Can't think of one. Actually I can. All those times Eboue and Diaby play when I watch at the Emirates.
Do you play for a team yourself? Who are they? What league are you in?
No. My knee wouldn't stand it.
RHF:
Why did you join RHF?
Dunno really. I was bored one day and looked through a links section on another Forum and saw this advertised. Thought I would give it a go and maybe drop away after a while. But I stuck around.
Who is your favourite RHF member and why?
Not a fair question. I like everyone here. Even Wooler.
What is your favourite thread on RHF?
Probably General Discussion as that seems to be where I post the most.
In a fight to the death between you Enya, Wolvensam and Stealth who would come where and why?
Me. Enya is easy to get rid off. All I would need to do would be to give her a pic of a naked Mark Bunn. Ditto the same tactic with Sam, this time a naked pic of Kightly. Stealth would just be shown a calendar of babes in bikinis and when his heart gives in I will be standing tall.
Questions from the Members:
Do you miss Thierry Henry?
Thierry who? Sometimes I miss him for the goals he brought to the team, but he got too egotistical in the end and it was the right choice to sell him.
What are your thoughts on Mr. Wenger?
He has been a good manager, but he needs to learn that we cannot rely on kids to win trophies. We still need a new midfielder, striker and some decent defenders.
You and Sam. A maybe??
A never. She knows my feelings about her, but she isn't interested and she has explained the reasons why. That is fair enough and at least she has some manners and told me so I didn't make a complete 100% twat of myself.
Do you feel the move to the new Stadium was worth it, especially as you seem to have fallen further behind the other 3 teams since the move?
Only time will tell.
If you could sign one player for Arsenal, who would it be and why?
See list above of players I admire. It would strengthen the squad no end.
When (if!) Wenger does leave, who should be the new manager?
Heart says someone like Fergie or 'Arry. But I would like to see Darren Ferguson or David Moyes have a go with a top 4 club.
Do you somtimes wish you would abandon the free-flowing football and manage to "grind out" a win, and do you feel this is a problem with the current side?
As long as Arsenal win, I don't care how they play. 3 points at any cost.
What is your favourite type of Cheese?
I hate cheese. If I had to choose, Mozarella as I have it on pizzas but that's the only time I have cheese.
Who would win in a fight between Wenger and Redknapp?
Redknapp. Much as I hate to say it, but Wenger is French. The French have no courage in battle. They had to turn to us for help in WW2.
Picture: 1-0 to Redknapp
