" In 1915, when Football ended because of World War One, Chelsea and Spurs had finished bottom of the first division and Arsenal were sixth in Division two. The League planned to expand the first division by two clubs and precedent dictated that the two bottom clubs would stay up and the top two in the second division would join them. Sir Henry had other ideas. To this day the details of exactly what occurred at the league's meeting in March 1919 remains a mystery, but by the end of the day, Arsenal had been voted into the first division and Spurs voted out. Arsenal have never been out of the top flight since."

Crikey, and we think we have rights to be bitter about the 'special dispensation'. This is something else!

Disagree mate

They are far worse than us

There's no point even arguing it. There is no argument. It's just the way it is

Yeah sure. "They" as an entire fanbase are worse than "us" as an entire fanbase due to comments made by a couple of Arsenal fans similar to comments made by a couple of Everton fans. Which would be way more than a couple of Everton fans if we were in the same position as them

It's obscure in the context of this forum, I guess. I have absolutely no feelings towards Arsenal. They just sort of sit there in 4th, not troubling anyone.

It's obscure and frankly ridiculous.

Not personal towards Mikey, he's far from the only person who makes the whole "oh god their fans are all so deluded/classless/stupid etc etc" comments about another clubs fans other pretty much any negative/unrealistic comments they make about their team.

Which fair enough is just basic tribalism coming through, but it seems any common sense or unbiased thinking goes out the window.

I guess i'll never understand why it's so hard for football fans to not criticise an entire fanbase of a rival team for doing things that the fanbase of the team they support are guilty of. Stop for a second and think about it.

For instance, there's a couple of people on here saying they think Barkley fell on Sat rather than diving. If the same comment had been made on RAWK about Sterling loads of people would rush to post of here about how deluded and blinkered they are.

Football supporters say stupid things regardless of what team they support. Why the need to then label the whole fanbase as something because of comments of some. And then cry if a rival teams fan does to us.

But i guess i answered that earlier, it's human nature and basic tribalism coming to the fore.

So sorry for the rant but i'll always find it daft.

I think you need to get out a bit more mate.

I don't mind Arsenal but it's nice to beat them

Yep. I also wonder how much money changed hands in the form of back handers in order to get Gillespie Road Tube renamed 'Arsenal' - a place in North London renamed after one of their campsites in in South London?

Worst feeling in the wooorld when you put the wrong team on your coupon.

 

[roydo]

How can anyone actually like Woolwich?

They started in East London (Dial Square) moved to South London (Woolwich), played there for 27 years & then moved (in extremely dodgy circumstances) to North London & then moved again breaking untold promises to the locals in the process.

What would you think if a 27 year old Manc moved to Merseyside & called himself a Liverpudlian?

They are the original MK Dons no matter what way they try & spin it.

Whats the big deal with being a North London club anyrate? Like I would guess that 95% of match going fans dont live in North London at all, but come in from the suburbs and that.

*cough* Olympic Stadium *cough*

(I think the coughing may down to the fumes from the overly convenient blaze.)

Yeah, I was going to ask @Yid4life about that one as well.

 

[PITA]

Bet the rs will be in for him. cant see him staying at West brom next season. Wouldn't be surprised if the rs come in for him this Jan

I guess that they've still got the designs for the special socks that create a nice snug fit for an ankle bracelet.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Totti!

 

[blue61]

Samuel Eto'o ?

Fair shout, but Eto'o is at the end of his career. That lot hurt badly when Snodin chose us.

I wouldn't look into it too much. It's the bread and butter of football rivalries but rarely goes beyond the willfully overbaked opinions expressed in football forums like this one. Absolutely everyone who shreds the Liverpool fanbase on here on a regular basis most likely have many Liverpool supporting friends who their comments don't refer to. We could put a disclaimer on the end of every message saying it only applies to the odd whopper* on RAWK but that would be silly, we all know who we mean.

*The opinion expressed within applies only to the the whopper element of RAWK and not the entire Liverpool fanbase. Any similarities between these whoppers and their fellow Liverpool fans is purely coincidental.

I do. It infuriates me. I don't care that it's a Mickey mouse cup, it's silverware ffs.

Tell that to some on here
