Arsenal

[Silver Sean]

LFC fans think that our history puts us at the top of the hill and everyone else should bow down to the king of English football club.

I don't believe you are a genuine Liverpool supporter. Where the fuck are you from?

 

[Silver Sean]

Not true, Arsenal fans can be a bunch of idiots, thinking they're the footballing mecca, and that everyone owes them a debt of gratitude for playing such pure football.

Gooners are on the whole utter twats. Talking down to you as if they feel sorry for you and they are better than everyone. Every season they fail again is a victory for football. Fuck them and fuck this Arsenal love in.

 

[Silver Sean]

They might start out great and then fade, or start out poorly and then improve. And Wenger will appear even more neurotic than ever. I wish they'd go away.

Every season they fail makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

 

[Silver Sean]

Wenger's net spend has been around £900k per season over 10 years, yet they've more often than not finished above us. They seem to loose star players constantly yet still manage to qualify for CL. The same cannot be aid for us!!!

Yes, they also did not get bought by a pair of cunts and get taken close to going into liquidation. They are a pathetic, limp-dicked shithouse of a club. Fuck them.

Not those of us with long memories.

Does one need to be a gooner/others ....... (fill in the blank) hater to be a genuine LFC fan?

 

[Y1]

We won't hear them. We're too far away.

Oh yes, from behind (currently) and from the front (historically)... too far

 

[Silver Sean]

Does one need to be a gooner/others ....... (fill in the blank) hater to be a genuine LFC fan?

Yes. They played vile, alehouse football for years and years but now shout 'hoof' whenever any opponent plays a pass of more than 20 yards. They are shit supporters with a soulless corporate bowl for a ground (Highbury the library wasn't much better) and a superiority complex based on fuck all. They have won NOTHING since 2005. They have never won the European Cup and they stole the title off us in the Hillsborough season with the last kick of the game. (I applauded them from the Kop that night, as did thousands of other Liverpool fans, something that would never happen today).
I despise their manager and their twattish fans and I hope they fail for ever more.

Sorry mate @silversean. My love for LFC does not automatically extend hatred for other clubs.

They are a vile piece of shit. Only just behind the Scum and the BS. But being rapidly caught my the Chavs.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I've never had a problem with Arsenal. Apart from...well...THAT game at Anfield. And Wenger's a tit. But apart from that I haven't got an issue with them.

 

[Fabio]

Yeah, I'm not too fussed with them.

Don't know why Sean is so.... Opposed

 

[Woland]

I used to hate them nearly as much as manure, I know what Sean means. But I'm all zen now and love everyone.

*gets cock out and starts wanking"*

Spread the love WoKrump, spread the love.

"An undisclosed fee" and a "long-term deal" - the staple details of pretty much every Arsenal press release that announces a new arrival.

That is why the verbal posturing in June from Emirates chief executive Ivan Gazidis that the club was preparing "an escalation in financial firepower" seemed so unusual - particularly as he even referenced a warchest figure of £70million. Having taken top dollar from Gunners fans for so many years and been deliberately coy where the money ended up in terms of fees and wages, here was a surprise strategy.

He stopped short of parking tanks on the lawn of his club's Premier League rivals (after all, in spending terms, Abu Dhabi and Roman Abramovich can still blow Arsenal away) but he did appear to be signalling a dramatic character transformation, like Scrooge shrugging off the miserly spirit and promising to bring a plump turkey to Bob Cratchit's door on Christmas Day.

So will Arsenal smash their transfer record this summer, and land one of European football's top strikers? Last summer, Olivier Giroud came in for £12million while Robin van Persie left for £24million, and although it is unfair to say the Frenchman was a direct replacement, the prices looked about right. Comparing combined goals and assists in the Premier League, the Dutchman directly helped Manchester United register 36 goals while Giroud's contribution resulted in 14. Add in the fact that the North Londoners collected a £1.5million bonus payment when United won the title, and it shows the two clubs were operating at different levels. A higher calibre forward is required, and he will not come cheap.

Numbers are usually shrouded in mystery at Arsenal - it is not even clear who the club's record signing is anymore. We do know the Gunners paid £15million (or possibly £12million plus add-ons) for Andrey Arshavin, but only because Zenit St Petersburg told us so in January 2009. It is that much harder to play cloak and dagger when your trading partners insist on revealing the numbers.

Even back in 2000, Arsenal refused to say how much they paid for Sylvain Wiltord (it was understood to be £12million), although four years later they were prepared to admit shelling out an initial £10.5million for Jose Antonio Reyes. A further £6.5million was dependent on clauses, but seeing as Reyes hit only 16 goals in 69 league appearances, we can be fairly confident he is not the biggest buy.

More likely, it is his fellow Spaniard, midfielder Santi Cazorla (a reported £16million plus add-ons last summer), but whoever held that particular price-tag, it is clear Arsenal like a little mystery in their maths - or specifically, they do not want the likes of you or rival Premier League clubs to see their working.

So Gazidis quoting an actual budget was rather startling - and now he is raising eyebrows by making offers, too. As it stands, that big bird - and the considered opinion is that it should be a striker - is yet to arrive; the only confirmed deal is for youngster Yaya Sanogo, who has hit four goals for France at the Under-20 World Cup and admittedly looks a classic 'one for the future' purchase. Moving up the scale, there has been plenty of talk of a move for versatile teenager Matthias Ginter of Freiburg, while Arsenal have certainly attempted to strengthen their midfield but have been knocked back in approaches for Bayer Leverkusen's Lars Bender and Lyon's Clement Grenier. But if there has been frustration over the failure to land any of those targets, it is nothing compared to the angst Arsenal fans are experiencing as the club attempts to land Real Madrid ace Gonzalo Higuain.

It would not be Arsenal without a strong element of saga to the story. Whether it is the slow shuffling towards the exit door of Van Persie or (slower still) Cesc Fabregas, or the 'sign da ting' sluggishness of Theo Walcott's contract talks, matters are rarely concluded swiftly when Gazidis and his colleagues are at the table. Even when discussing the "additional high-margin revenue" at Arsene Wenger's disposal, Gazidis was putting in provisos, insisting: "The key to this summer is going to be making the right decisions without damaging the great team unity and spirit which we have."

His first mistake, therefore, was revealing the funds with which Wenger has to play. With their ticket prices so high, no one is any doubt over the colour of Arsenal's money but their summer spending policy did not need to be explained in such specific terms. Real rightly realise they can eke out more for a player who might want to stay at the Bernabeu, were he only to be given some assurances by new boss Carlo Ancelotti. So what would a Luis Suarez bid on the side achieve?

Perhaps Wenger genuinely wants the Uruguayan, despite the substantial baggage he would bring (he still has six games of his current 10-match suspension left to serve) and the fact he would rather move out of England than within it. But considering Suarez's talent, a £30million offer is underwhelming, even for an opening gambit. If it is an attempt to chivvy along the Higuain transfer - a tactical flirtation with Real's top target - it might just make the Madrid club feel they are under-valuing a player who has hit 122 goals in 266 Real appearances over the course of the last seven seasons.

Manchester City have brought in Fernandinho and Jesus Navas, Chelsea have grabbed Andre Schurrle and Marco van Ginkel, while Manchester United look set to add Thiago to the capture of Wilfried Zaha - those who finished above Arsenal last season are actively recruiting. Meanwhile, there are fresh claims that another club looking for a striker is interested in Higuain, a club that's already made a statement signing in the last week. Suarez stories must be taken with a pinch of salt but if Arsenal lost out to Tottenham Hotspur in the race for Higuain, that really would stick in the throats of Gunners fans.

ARSENAL face a stumbling block in signing striker Gonzalo Higuain.

They are insisting on a 20 per cent pay-cut clause if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

The Gunners are £3m shy of Real Madrid's £25m valuation for the Argentina striker, 25.

And Starsport understands all recent contract renewals at the club have included a clause which sees wages cut by a fifth if the north Londoners miss out on Europe's top club competition this season.

Arsenal could waive the demand as they try to bring in big-name players like Wayne Rooney and Luis Suarez.

But that would be likely to cause a major stir with Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs and Carl Jenkinson who signed new deals last season which are believed to include the clause.

Only heard about such pay cut clause for relegation previously. Looks like it won't be long before a no-CL football release clause like the relegation release clause gets introduced.

 

[Squiggles]

I like Arsenal.

I think they are as likable club as you will ever get, but naturally I'll prefer them more when they;re beneath us in the table.

 

[keniget]

No wonder the players celebrated as they did last season.

 

[Red Astaire]

I have no bother with the Gooners. Well they can be a bunch of smug wankers at times but that's fairly standard. I fucking despise Spurs though and of course Utd. I'm a little weird in that I quite like Everton - Not coming from the city though I was never exposed to the bitterness.

 

[Mystic]

Arsenal fans are like a diet version of Spurs fans, still insufferable cunts, but no where near as bad.

 

[Spionkop69]

The Arsenal fans I've come into contact with are, in general, insufferably arrogant cunts.

Also, when attending games at Highbury, I found you were far more likely to be attacked by them for being a fan of the opposition, regardless of whether you were a scarfer or not. Yes, every team has its bellend fans, I just seem to find more of them follow this shower of cunts.

Plus 1950, 1971, 1987, 1989 all pipped us to major trophies not to mention the various 3 game semis we lost to them in the FA Cup. A manager who sees no evil nor hears no evil when it comes to his team.

Constant prattling on about how they're model is successful cos they hit the top 4 every year without winning a trophy. Football is about winning trophies last I looked and whilst their football is supposedly easy on the eye, they ain't won shit since 2005 - 8 fucking years!!!

Oh and I've never seen so many fans of one club who see it as their duty to wear some sort of Arsenal regalia on a daily basis - like its a fucking tatoo.

Fuck Arsenal.

Quite. The weirdest thing about them is that their team has had success, they've been lodged in the top four for ages, yet they spend every match singing about the opposition. They don't seem to enjoy winning, they only take pleasure from seeing opposing fans losing. Horrible bunch of weirdos.

I could not have put it more eloquently myself.
Fuck Arsenal and fuck anyone who purports to support Liverpool and doesn't get why they are a despicable set of cunts on and off the field.

Worse for me is the fact they used to win things playing alehouse football but now think they have some sort of monopoly on beautiful pass and move football, and win fuck all.
Oh, and they have a cunt of a manager.

Must. Do. Better.

 

[Molbystwin]

I'm totally ambivalent about Arsenal, I rented a place directly in front of the doors of Highbury for a while and lived and worked within a ten minute walk of the place for 8 years. So many of my mates are Arsenal fans and I genuinely found many of them to be good natured and humorous with plenty self deprecating banter etc.... I did however fucking hate watching them win everything in sight while I was there.

Spurs on the other hand are fucking animals.

Generally speaking I always want every other team to lose apart from us even though that isn't actually possible.

 

[Leo]

I have a hole in my cornea from all the times Sean drilled home how much he hates Arsenal.
