This is hardly bad enough to warrant inclusion in this thread. I think even Arsene mentioned his name at one point last summer.

Hopefully next season will be the one, but only if we can put together a decent team. And that will only happen once *****(obscured for difficulty!!) starts putting some money into the squad.

City fans annoy me because they are still in the mindset of a smaller club, "Everyone is against us - why does everyone hate us? Baww!".
They haven't yet adjusted to the fact that big successful clubs are usually hated. United Barca Arsenal fans etc just shrug their shoulders and accept that 90% of people want them to fail and that they will get ripped by everyone when they do so.
Take it with some dignity or laugh it off, make a joke about buying the league rather than sob and make up paragraphs of financial bullshit trying to act like you actually turn a profit. Be grateful you were picked at random by a qatari oil baron and don't throw all the toys out of the pram when the success you buy with it is questioned.

quote:

Their support is terrible, their first ever CL game in history this season and it wasn't even a sell out - and only their 3rd semi final against Liverpool in about 20 years had about 65% attendance.
Their atmosphere is much worse than ours, when you consider this season is the start of a golden age, and its one of our worst relatively speaking.
Etihad is always quiet seems to me, most of the crowd seem to be packed out with kids who buy up the discounted tickets (ofc they can offer huge discounted prices since the money isn't actually needed by them) Most of the ones on reddit are totally obsessed with Arsenal moreso than even United, I guess we are the ying to their yang in terms of how we do things, and it burns them to think about it.
I feel sorry for the real city fans, their club as they knew it no longer exists, in its place is a plastic qatari plaything. I guess that's where their resentment on here comes from.

quote:

I'm with you %100, Man City's way of doing things is harmful to football, takes away from the real essence of football. Throws everything that was history and philosophy, ideals, out of the window.
City is not even a team in my eyes, just a bunch of mercenaries bullying their way through the EPL.
Arsenal for me is the right way to do things, you are responsible for your actions and you build your future, staying true to your values.
City is cheating. It's like a football manager game with cheat codes. They don't deserve to win.

Now, this is just a fun blog, and we’re all entitled to an opinion, AND I know that a few select readers of a blog are not a sample group for Arsenal fans in general, but I get the feeling that anything negative to say about this group shows that we are not loyal, that we are not true fans. It’s like during the W years of the USA, between 2000-2008, if you spoke out you weren’t a patriot. If you questioned the war you hated America, you terrorist..

Does anyone else find the row between Krul and Robin comical. It happens. It’s sports. Robin getting the last dig in and now Gutierrez says he is a bad person.
Really?
These guys should hear what goes on in other sports. Michael Jordan was the biggest talker in sports. It’s a sport that they get payed millions of dollars to play for a living. I don’t think it makes you a “bad person” to talk a little smack. It’s part of the game and the entertainment.

@Bunburyist,
Exactly good point! I felt bad for Jack making tweets about Chelski and getting absolutely killed for it. I mean the guy is a young Englishmen, he is going to be the next big name for England once this “old guard” is retired. Anyways, I wish he would cool it on the “Come on you Blues” comments, but I can appreciate his English pride. I was torn myself in who to root for. I of course detest our Western neighbors and want them to fail at everything, but they are old and having an extra match to play and more pressure to pile on could possibly be to our advantage. I mean who gives them a chance in hell of making the final? There’s no way with their current form.

I don't condone it and I regret it but Liverpool means the world to me.

Kenny, this scar is for you.

Stevie, this scar is for you.

Jamie, this scar is for you.

My scar is for Liverpool FC. This club is my family.

Please Kenny, do the right thing and step down.

I love you but it's hurting me too much now.

So, I was talking to my friend the other day and we were discussing the EPL. He is a Newcastle fan and he asked me who was my favorite player. I said either RVP or Sagna. I also said that I call RVP "Beast" since he never misses the net. He siad to me, "Do you know what non-Gunners call RVP? rear end in a top hat who never loving misses."
I guess he has built a good reputaion for himself, being the top scorer in the EPL and 3rd in total this season (meaning Messi, Ronaldo, RVP).

See, luvd, this is how you do it:

This is the crux of why I'm writing to you Mr Levy. Not to offer you a solution of any type but as a gentleman, to offer you notice of a demonstration at the next game to be played at White Hart Lane. It's time to make a stand and visually assassinate your senses and those that dare to look into the eyes of the revolution.

I will be bringing with me to the game a pack of Bassetts Jelly Babies, just eleven of them, each one representative of the first team and laying them on my seat post-game then leaving the ground. The Jelly Babies are post-modern effigies (all heads will be bitten off and spat towards the directors box), a statement of transparency that I will not ignore or be quiet as you stand and allow my club to die of footballing leprosy.

I hope others will join me in this defiant stand against the current upheaval we are being put through. My vision is to see entire blocks, empty seated, covered with Jelly Babies with the supporters leaving the ground willing to sacrifice their support for the greater good. For the long term.

This was a pinnacle point in our season and we failed the test. We are in free-fall. It's all beautifully illustrated by our distinct lack of creativity with taking set pieces. A very subtle inception, if you will, that has been placed deep in the minds of THFC, unaware of its poison and influence. An inception that sees us losing 5-8 points minimum per season because we can never take one with any genuine intent and hit the target convincingly consistently. This is holding us back. How can a top tier side (if that's what we're disguising ourselves as) not be competent in taking free-kicks with bullish confidence? I'll tell why, because you know you'll make more money selling Bale and Modric in the summer than qualifying for the Champions League. Hence why no set piece expert was signed in the last window. You can't fool me. I see it all. The hurtful truth screams out to me.

11 games to go. Just 11 games. Have you even looked at the fixture list? Daunting. 3rd place. Seven points above 5th spot. Four points ahead of 4th spot. A poor demoralised showing for our endeavours. Doomed. We are doomed. This is no position for our club to be in. We are stranded in the ocean without a paddle for our surf board. The crest of a wave nowhere to be seen. Sharks circling us. Slowly sinking.

This, Mr Levy, is the end of days. The dawn of the Jelly Babies is upon us.

Biting regards,
Spooky

Me to! Rhight now I could destroy everything, but most of all Didier "Old" Drogba, who cannot stand anymore! I really think he has to end his carrer if he cannot play anymore! His show today was more than Penaldos! Unbelievebal!
How many chances did we had? 100? 1000? And we played a really brilliant game, so nobody can say Barca had problems with Chelsea! This result is pure luck- no more than luck!
And if I think back on yesterday match howmany chances Bayern had! Puh why is Fotbal sometimes so unjustice?

And in the final move of the game we hit the post and busi()misses such a chance! I just grab whatever I could, throw it in whichever direction I could first see, almost broke the loving TV where we were watching the match!! And I just couldn't ctrl myself, just walked out furiously... I did hear some body throwing some thing at me

Its amzing how the psychological bender the Arese have been spun for several years continues. They are now spinning a new one for the fans - Spurs best team could not finish above Arse's worst team!! They take this all in and away they go skipping into the distance happy for another season!! They have been suckered for so long by Wanger - and he continous to spin it. Long may it continue!!! Keep taking it in!

Its not the gap they should be worried about, its the monumental shift that is happening as we speak!! It will only occur to them when in 2 years time, June 2014 to be exact. It will hit them then! Mind the SHIFT!!!

quote:

Keep on spinning in the spin mate. Enjoy your pathetic mind the gap and st tot day etc. you have just proved what we have been saying all along. Keep spinning in it and you won't see it coming. It's on it's way, the SHIFT is happening and if you think you are guaranteed membership to the top 4, then there is another think coming! You had 15 years, 15 years of nothing!! He spun you out big time and you all fell for it but keep with him, hang on in there for another 15 years!!

quote:

hotspurs : spot on. They've concocted a cover story and Wenger, who's lost the plot and only retains his position courtesy of RVP's goals, continues to mug off the lot of them. We're coming stronger again next season, and all the Podolskis in the world won't conceal the fact that their squad is weak, lacks bottle, and squeaked third via some Fulop blunders - Fulop's been watching too many instructional vids by H. Gomes Esq.

quote:

I thought the Arse were quite over the last few weeks!! We lose a 10 point lead - you come out like the true gutless bunch you are, seeking blood - mouthing off like you are top of the table and the championship already in the bag. You then lose a 6 point lead and you go hiding, seeking cover behind the web in true gutless fashion - nothing to be heard - wonder why!!

You then clinch 3rd by sheer luck and out you come again like zombies in the dark looking for scraps to feed on. What do you find - nothing but some glimmer of happiness in finishing 3rd, miles behind the other two, both in points and in cash!! God, you really are a sad pathetic bunch arent you.

What you cant see is the gradual shift that is occuring. Your so called success is based on 1.5 people. Look beyond this and you do not find very much - thats how fragile you are.

We are on the up mate - you cant see it - but its happening and id rather you lot sit there in igonrance and do what you do and continue to feed on the scraps that are left for you.-You are light years behind - so far behind , you need to look up your own arse to see how far behind you are.

What if Shearer had joined Manchester United instead of, say, Andy Cole?

He would have won things, for sure. But they won things anyway. Shearer's impact at Old Trafford could never compare with his importance to Newcastle, where he is still revered.

This European trophy-worship is not shared across the pond, where a different attitude prevails.

Americans would lionise Shearer for his loyalty and consistency - they would judge him on his extraordinary ability and not the number of championships. Nobody judges Peyton Manning's time as Indiananpolis Colts quarterback a failure because he won 'only' one Super Bowl in 13 years.
