Arrogance of Arsenal plastics

[u'vebeenamexed]

Biggest Cup game at Amex for sure - I also have a sneaky feeling we might win it

 

[Westdene Wonder]

I have to admit that a season ticket at Arsenal would be my choice even if West Ham do get the Olympic stadium, the Gooners have not won a competition for some time but to witness their silky style on a regular basis must be fantastic, i hope they dont thrash us as it could affect our league form.,but to have them at our stadium is the tops!

I would say Arsenal are a bigger club than Liverpool.

And you would be wrong.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Arrogance of Arsenal plastics at work today, trying to tell me that this is our biggest game at the Amex, even after I pointed out that there will probably never be a bigger game at the Amex than Doncaster.

I can't imagine too many Arsenal plastics know what 'Doncaster' is. Did they think you were referring to some sugary Mafia boss?

 

[algie]

And you would be wrong.

Matter of opinion. I think you are wrong

Since the Premiership was formed Liverpool haven't won the title where as Arsenal have 3 times. Liverpool have finished runners up twice where Arsenal have five times.

If you are going to drag up history from decades ago then you might as well add Forest.

Liverpool racked up a huge worldwide fanbase in the 1970s and 1980s on the back of their domestic dominance and European success. While Arsenal haven't quite had the same level of dominance, they've been the best or second best team for about a decade in more recent times, as interest in the English top league has grown in this country and worldwide. And of course, before the 1960s, Arsenal had a stature internationally as the most famous English club of all.

Very tough call.

Since the Premiership was formed

Top class football was played long before 1992. It hasn't been called the Premiership since 04/05.

I would also say games against Palace at home will be bigger than this one.

and I would even go as far to say Liverpool are a bigger team.

I'm glad we have got Arsenal, but this view from fans who watch games on TV really bugs me.

sorry rant over, just needed to get it out.

I agree with the arsenal plastics this is the biggest game we have had at the amex.

 

[Lopster]

Arsenal are the most consistent of the big clubs over the last 100 years - always top flight, rarely outside of top 4 in the last 20 years

I've got 6 arsenal "fans" in my office...None of them are going...true plastics!

It's not exactly easy for gooners to get tickets. Arsenal sold out in two days.

Brilliant!

 

[Gullys Cats]

So it will be even better if we win!

 

[wunt be druv]

I have taken plenty of stick too from Arsenal plastics,none of whom have ever seen them play live,so far up their own backsides it beggars belief,they just blindly believe all the London biased media love-in about the team.I would love it if we beat them Saturday but it is a 100% guarantee that if we do win it will only be because Arsenal were not at their best,not motivated,played a weakened team blah blah blah all the usual bollocks trotted out and not one single word that perhaps it was because Brighton played well.Wankers.

I think i'm a reasonable and easy sort of going bloke who doesn't resort to name calling or insulting easily, BUT, i've never come across a bunch of deluded, self centred, igostical. vindictive bunch of tossers in all my life!

From their very dubious beginings, bribery scandals, poaching other managers through their massive (at the time) cash injections, their plundering of French and African teams (whilst seriously underpaying) and their tapping up of English kids at Southampton, their disgusting abuse of ex players on and off the pitch to the stupidity of accepting the bullshit that their chairman and manager feed them every year, their hypocrisy in bitching about Man City inflating the transfer market but happily taking their money and finally to their acceptance of never dreaming to win anything.

I'm sure there are some decent Gooners, It's just i've yet to meet one.

Based on the sky based hype that football began in 1992; everything before is ancient history, and everything since counts. You've fallen for that trap, or are a closet gooner.

What about making the cut off 2005?
Since then Arsenal have won NOWT, whilst others have collected silverware including being Euro champions.

I think everyone has their cut off point as to how long ago is relevant. The start of the Premier League is a handy staring point but in all honesty, Liverpool are not as big as they were. Arsenal, despite their lack of trophies have been consistently Top 4 since about 1997.

Right now, Arsenal are a bigger club. 20 Years ago, Liverpool were. It'll probably all change though again.

I think I'm looking forward to this more than the Liverpool match last season but way, way, way, way, way less than Donny.

sounds like they're pretty good at winding you up

 

[Lovecake]

Now, yes. Historically, no.

What does that even mean?! what does being a big club mean? Liverpool fans are obsessed with being a big club. It's just nonsense. You either win stuff or you don't. People can't keep claiming Liverpool ar historically a big club. That is just drivel

I have three Arsenal Fans in my office and to be fair they have in the past been to games and have owned "shared" season tickets at The Emirites. They are also keep an eye on Brighton and have been on occasions. I think they view the Amex game as a possible banana skin and are not at all confident Arsenal will win, although they agree they should.
They are no different from other fans, they want to do better, buy in players but not put the club in debt, Wenger has to "go" one week and is a God the next. I think they all agree that if we play well we could cause an upset but if Walcott and co play and perform to their ability we could get a tonking. They are a pretty fair lot in our office but then we are not regular opponents (YET) and they reserve their venom for the Spurs, Chelsea and Man U fans.
As long as Arsenal fail to score early i think it will be a competative game.
