The main difference i found across the board was all the City fans where from Hull, or had been brought up in Hull, and we had a sense of belonging Arsenal fans looked like they had just got off a plane at Heathrow and was extactic to have made it through customs, most of the Arsenal fans i tried to make convo with struggled to speak English, and where frantically looking for there local tribesman Strange old world, but we are City of Culture now, we know who we are...
We know life at the foot of division 4 Plenty of hard times and bad times Arsenal fans don't understand coming from the 4th division to the top league . Playing in front of sub 5,000 We have no silverware and we don't care .
I get your point and to a large degree you are right, most Arsenal fans I spoke to didn't actually go to games, they support from a far, and just want to be associated with a successful club. I stayed until City players had left the pitch, and was amazed how many Arsenal fans had left before the cup presentation.
they were differently not as friendly as Sheffield utd fans but i thought our fans were great going down there i think most deep down thought we would lose and i think Arsenal thought it would be a bit easier than it was, However both the team and fans give everything and i am sure we all did the city proud
So how can you complain about people "struggling to speak English" but then claim your vocabulary isn't very good?
Hey, i can order a pint, order a takeaway, and pull a bird, and understand the date and time of City games, thats it, its all i need
Left immediately after we got our medals and to get our taxi had to walk around the west side of the stadium where the Arsenal fans where. They were streaming out during the presenting of the cup, not one City fan would have left if we had won. Found the Arsenal fans, a typical top 4 side, rather blasé beforehand and a win a formality. Whilst waiting for the taxi to arrive, some Arse fans were cretins but to be fair many come up to up, shook our hands and congratulated the performance.
There were a lot there with foreign accents but the ones after the game that I spoke to were all Londoners! TBH most of my friends aren't English so I'm not that bothered, in fact one of my friends was posting pics of City fans at service stations & he's in Manchester but from Bulgaria, just a general lover of English football, he was at the Man City game last week, before that at Man Utd. If we keep this up we'll be attracting these people to our club, then what happens?
There seems to be an assumption here that he's being racist by pointing out half their fans are foreign. Isn't he just saying they're obviously not born and bred Arsenal if they're not English?
Why criticize people for their grammar. I know lots of nice people who just don't write well it doesn't matter to me, the only thing that gets me is when people mix up their lose and loose.
