Hatred for Arsenal.

[gordondaviesmoustache]

We often look to Liverpool as the most bitter (apart from the obvious) set of fans about our new found status.

I think upon relfection, however, it is this lot. There's nothing like a snob for forgetting where their grandad made his dirty money when they start looking down their noses at other people.

Their current status has been achived by a combination of things including bribery (Henry Norris), bungs (George Graham) and creation of a cosy cartel to give them an advantage over the competition (Dein, Wenger)

That banner saying "you can't buy class" was particularly sanctimonious. The price of tickets at the Emirates are a disgrace and yet Arsenal fans see it as something virtuous that these prices allow a fat dividend to be paid to the shareholders whilst the failure to invest properly in playing staff is ongoing.

Arsenal fans must be the type of customer that CEO's dream of. People mug enough to swallow the line that the club are doing it "the right way" before blindly accepting another inflation busting season ticket price increase.

You fucking lurking **** :D

This is the second example of cyber-bullying I have had to endure this evening.

I feel like a hunted animal.

We as fans generally hold the highest dislike for our immediate competition (excluding the constant hatred of the Scum, naturally). When we were fighting for 4th it was Spurs, everyone hated Spurs more than any other club. When we were fighting for the league it was the Scum, and not just because we always hate the scum, but because they were direct rivals to something we wanted. You can follow this trend back to all sorts of important times with a myriad of teams, most of whom we don't have any abnormal hatred for now.

The really funny thing about Arsenal, they are that insignificant, we haven't even had time (at least I haven't) to hate them for anything. We finished above them in the league almost without even meaning too, then finished so far ahead of them the season after no-one gave two fucks what they were ever doing except when playing us. They were that stagnant they've not put up a fight, even just let us stroll casually by, we've flown by mach 2 with our hair on fire. I've skipped straight past hate. I'm firmly on pity.

And they never mention the fact that they were voted into the first division, after the First World War, I believe.

They cling to past glories and can't understand a player with greater aspirations. It's pathetic, really.

I must be meeting the wrong type of Arsenal fan. Most of them have been friendly, understanding and not at all condescending.

Pity their Chief Exec isn't , remember this from early this year?

"We're in three competitions this year. Manchester City would love to be in three competitions," explained Gazidis. "They're not. So money is not everything in this game.

Totally disagree with this. Our hatred of Spurs has been there for a long time. It goes back to at least 1981. It's natural to discuss your rivals more but do I hate Chelsea more than Leeds? No.

I'd like to mention that I really hate everton

i dont hate arsenal as a club, but i had a few words with 2 of there shitter fans coming out of the emirates after our defeat,

regarding slagging off ex players, i think we would be just as bad if we were selling first team regulars, its all very well giving shawny and dunney a warm round of applause, we`d had the best of them and without trying to sound bighead or patronising, we were trying to get better and younger in.
