Their dislike for City is almost childlike. I have the displeasure of living in an area where the two local clubs are Southend and Colchester yet a vast number support Arsenal rather thasn their local club.

When they rant the usual rubbish about City, money, runining football, I highlight their clubs own role in the formation of the Premier league, threatening to form a super league if they didnt get a dispropertionate amount of TV revenue, and also highlight they are happy to cherry pick clubs such as Southamptons best players.

I think the REAL thing that irritates them is that some of us tend to think of Arsenal as being just our 'feeder club' ..... that MUST bug them no end ..... they like to think of themselves as being a 'big club'.

There is no real dislike for City. Spurs are our rivals and United and Chelski both get a lot more stick than you do. You just get more than you did because of your changed circumstances.

About the Southend and Colchester thing, do the majority of people in Bury or Stockport follow their local team? No, they are mostly United or City.

Yes, the feeder club thing is irritating. Are you surprised?

Its also true City and Chelski get more stick off Gooners than they do off other clubs. Not sure how that is surprising when we (and arguably Liverpool ) have been the biggest losers following the arrival of Abramovich and Mansour. Its not an issue for United. They had the financial muscle to hang in there. Its not an issue for the other clubs either as they have remained were they were. We on the other hand got knocked down two pegs by Roman and the Sheikh. Would anyone else not be pissed off?

Big club? I suppose everyone has their own definition of what that means. I've never understood how supporting a big club makes you a better person, but for what its worth yes, Arsenal are a big club. Not sure how anyone could argue against that.

Just like how Spurs would have been pissed off when Arsenal bought their place in the top division. What goes around comes around.

I'd just like to drop in the fact that Danny Fiszman invested £50m in Arsenal back when that was worth £500m in football terms. In the words of Tony Adams, their greatest ever captain:

"I think that a significant factor, 90 per cent, in why we achieved so much is that Danny Fiszman invested £50m in the club and we were able to go to the next level," he said. "I got my first decent contract at the club, so did David Seaman, we were able to bring in Dennis Bergkamp – and that was before Arsène arrived – David Platt, Patrick Vieira, Nicolas Anelka, and were able to pay them – top players from around the world."

Tony Adams (2011)

After the League Cup quarter - final at ' Library ' last year, they got battered after the game and didn't like the fact we brought so many down for the game. I was there and they are arrogant bunch of s***s........watched the game in pub with some of them today and they only made a noise when and after they scored.

Hope City gave it to them today............but probably didn't................

That should be their new motto

They should not be allowed to forget this, I bring it up regularly. Their pitiful rebuttal has often been "It was only £50million" but it was exactly the same thing, just like United's in the past... significant revenue from outside the club that was used to entice top players to join the club, not self-generated revenue. United and Arsenal fans are hand in hand myopic hypocrites about this whole money/morality in football thing, they revise history to suit their disgusting agenda.

Watching them celebrate like they'd won the league after the final whistle went was quite funny. They managed to get a point off little old City.

This.....lets revisit in May.
