When I was growing up The only results I looked out for (apart from ours) was the gooners and Liverpool to see if they lost.
The reasons behind Arsenal are obvious ... I hated Liverpool cos loads of kids in school supported them (I live in London) and pretended not to be glory hunters so made up stupid reasons like "my mum bought a Beatles record" or some other bollocks so I always wanted them to lose.
The difference today is I think the football forums and phone ins have led to some clubs fans irritating us so badly that we end up hating them.
I read these forums and see people claiming to all (insert club) fans are mouthy and they want them to crash and burn.
I noticed Norwich and Arsenal fans having a problem on this forum, Swansea and Liverpool, Chelsea and ... well everyone, etc.
The number of pointless insults is soul destroying and the word hate is used over and over again over the pettiest of reasons. And the regional sterio typing is just plainly offensive.
So in the spirit of the olympics, I'm reaching out the hand of friendship to all fans of all clubs to say I hope you have a great season...
Apart from the Goons and Pool fans obviously, and chelsea (5-1 and winning the CL and you want friendship? Go **** yourselves!)
Can't forget to mention Utd (exactly how many ****ed up decisions are we gonna get at OT?) and City (I used to like you before you started winning things...you always made things seem better when we were really ****) and Sunderland (got all mouthy when you bought Bent of us).
Then there's West Ham (still laughing about lasagne gate - pig dogs) and QPR (if Tarabbt hadn't scored against us that draw would have got us 3rd and we'd have CL footie this season...selfish ****s).
Must not forget to mention everton (Saha? seriously?...oh very funny, you hub cap stealing Northern ****ers) and fulham (what's with that ****ing stupid Michael Jackson statue...really?) or Southampton ... on my 31st birthday my now 9 yr old daughter was just 4 days old and loads of family and friends were over and you battered us 4 nil in the FA Cup Live on TV and I had to pretend I didn't care (southern ****ers).
Then there's wigan...when we slaughtered you 9-1 your goal was deliberate handball...Cheating ****s...and Reading...what is the point of your town when we already have slough? And the only wigan fan I know lives in Reading.
By the way Swansea EPL stands for ENGLISH premier league...just saying... I thought you'd of noticed what with your own parliament and language...oh and sheep are for eating
Newcastle...for **** sakes ...PUT A SHIRT ON IN WINTER...YOU ALL LOOK LIKE BLUE WHALES and Villa ... Where to start? Oh Agbonlahor ... what a twat... and ... and ... who the **** else DO you have?
And what the **** right did Norwich think they were doing by rolling into WHL and beating us? Bunch of carrot munching Alan Partridge shaggers.
Calling all stoke fans....IT AINT ****ING RUGBY...and DELILAH IS ABOUT DOMESTIC ABUSE...
Oh would hate to miss out WBA...WTF? SERIOUSLY...YOU WERE SPOSED TO PLAY A KEEPER IN THE ARSENAL MATCH NOT A ****ING ****** WHO IS ALLERGIC TO CATCHING A ****ING BALL!!!!!!
Can't wait for the first ball to be kicked!
