I hate Arsenal.

[Gullflyinghigh]

I like Wenger and I do think that it's a good example of how a club should be run.

That said, their fans tend to come across as spoilt whiners.

You'd think that if not winning a trophy for a while is the closest you've come to any actual adversity that you'd be fairly happy...apparently not.

Agree about the way the club is run to a degree. Still one of the most expensive clubs to watch in England though.

I can sort of understand their fans frustration. For a while it was a 2 horse race for trophies Manure or Arsenal and they are definitely not a top 2 team any more. I don't really like them, but prefer them to Utd.

 

[Seasidesage]

Not overly keen on them myself, but hate them more than Palace? Please...

 

[Mowgli37]

Never met a Spurs fan on the board before, welcome to the family!

Yeah the pricing isn't great by any standard but, as the argument often goes, if someone's willing to pay it then how can it be too high (not my own belief I have to stress)?

I sort of get the frustration but the days of those title battles were before the rise (and rise) of Chelsea and City. I know they get mocked for now 'only' finishing 3rd or 4th every year but considering who's above them it's surely no great surprise?

 

[BBassic]

I know an Arsenal fan who thinks its a conspiracy that's stopped them from winning the league recently. Something about City, Chelsea and Utd having more selling power.

Tit.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Of all the teams in all the bars in all the gin joints in all of the universe,the team that I loathe more than any other is Arsenal.
I hate their fans,their players,the way they play the game,their whinging and whining and most of all their manager.
I hate them more than Palace.
I hate them more than Traffic Wardens.
I hate them more than piles.
I hate them more than Jeremy Paxman.
I hate them more than ISIS.

Pleeaasse BHA.Take these smug B'stards out.

I've got a feeling you're not too keen on the Gooners then...

 

[beorhthelm]

Fair enough.
If planting the ball on your six feet seven inch lump of a centre back to score a goal floats your boat.Fine.

are you sure you've got the right football team? or are you living in the 1980s?

and given our current top goal scorer, we are in no position to complain about center backs scoring either.

 

[Hastings gull]

To be honest that's just one comment, the most regular is "doable", or "winnable" to describe the drawer, that's hardly patronising when you look at the relative position of the clubs, and not many of us would disagree with "have been poor all season" or "crap all season"!

Yes, I too looked at their forum, and to be fair, this was the only condescending post as of last night. As you say, most did talk about "winnable" and you would find it hard to argue with that if you looked at the Albion so far this season. But the cup does tend to bring out the best in lower league teams and we ran them very close two years ago -indeed wasn't it just an unlucky deflection that gave them the winner? I think I am right in saying that it might have been the occasion of Ulloa's first goal - that diving header in front of the North stand - so it is possible to have new players in before the very end of the transfer window, when the horse-trading starts in earnest. Who knows what additions we might have by then? TB has by all accounts promised some dosh . .

 

[Bombadier Botty]

Spurs are worse - far worse

This. Spurs fans are the c***s of civilisation. Disgusting club, disgustingly arrogant fans. By comparison Arsenal fans are just harmless SKY TV plastics who should be supporting their local team, which in most cases isn't Arsenal.

what a thoughtful, mature and witty thread

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I don't hate them - but they certainly seem to have their fair share of plastic fans populating Sussex .

Here we go again!

Get a train from anywhere in sussex on a Saturday/ Sunday to London and see how many arsenal fans are on those trains going to watch their team.

What is all this " plastics" shit that brighton fans seem obsessed about?

How does it affect your life if they support another club?

Agreed with you up to here, although I'd replace 'hate' with 'dislike'.

I hate them more than Palace.

You've lost the plot here though I'm afraid.

Even more reason to detest them then. Honestly those very same Arse fans detest plastic Man U/ Liverpool/Citeh/Dirty Leeds....etc etc etc some of who support their (ahem) local clubs .......so why can't we? FWIW all my Arsenal SUPPORTING mates are top blokes, just a shame they chose to follow a London club not the mighty stripes.

 

[Munkfish]

I dont mind them, but it would be great to knock the existing holders out of the cup and add to that the media frenzy it would cause around Arsenal not winning a trophey this season, as we scoot off into the next round.

I assume your post is tongue in cheek.

Support your local team for a lot of fans is a myth...if it was so, then we would have 250 thousand people clammering to get tickets to watch us every home game.

Supporting a club is not all about local affinity...it's about family , peer pressure, watching a team and being inspired to follow them, looking for excitement, not wanting to put up with the shit times bumbling along in the 3rd and 4th division , which supporting brighton for 40 odd years, have been for me my main experience. With a few years in the second division and a few years in the first division.

And I don't come from brighton, so i am seemly a plastic as I don't go and watch my home town team much.

The issue is when they look down on you for supporting your local team. Have no issue whatsoever with plastics who keep themselves to themselves, acknowledge that they are armchair fans and don't look down on you for supporting a "non-prem team".

I have never come across anyone who has " looked down on me" for supporting brighton. A lot of people wonder why I chose a club that was never going to win anything over going up to London and picking a club where you were almost guaranteed success and European football, like a Tottenham, arsenal or a Chelsea. I must have done something bad in my previous life

Hate is obviously a personal thing (and I detect a bit of closet Spudism going on here) but why you would hate the Gooners more than Spuds (horrible part of London, previous with their fans), Chelsea (strange combination of thugs and company directors), West Ham (Essex geezers), Palarse (arch nemesis), Millwall (just horrible), etc. Arsenal seem alright compared to that lot!
