    Arsenal are the football equivalent of the France RFU team. You never know which one will show up at any given game..

    No surprise, it's been 4 years since they beat us in the league. It's like going 4 years without sex and what we're seeing is A87 shooting his load in the first 30 seconds. One frustrated gooner there lol.

    We have now beaten you twice this year, it's becoming a habit to beating you guys. Can we play you every week please?

    And indeed, nothing better than beating a team that's supported by ungracious arrogant baboons like you with the comments you were making before the game about 'wiping the floor with us', you could not make that up, we end up wiping the floor with you!

    The ungracious one expects some graciousness! HA. You have talked so much **** about my club, and even made this thread, and you actually expect some grace?

    Treble if you are going to give it Billy Big Spuds you have to man up and take it on the chin when you lose.

    You also said: 'It's Arsenal and regardless of how we play I think we'll do a number on them and beat them by 2 or 3 goals."

    Does taking it on the chin include not hiding away for days when your team loses ?

    What's the record over 10 years. Its something horrendous for Arsenal fans


    They do know we look down on them like they dobto Spurs right? I don't think they know Treble, Arsenal are Spurs to us.

    <laugh> Spurs. No offence Spurs fans bit there's fewer bigger insults to the Goons.

    Good performance by the Goons.

    Not convinced they will win league but more than convinced they will challenge this season

  18. I hear what you are saying, CFC, but Arsenal still have a lot to do to convince me that they are genuine title challengers.

    Leagues aren't won in the autumn and neither can you have title challenges. At best you can say, they're still in it. Which for Arsenal in October is an achievement in itself. Still heavily reliant on Sanchez but if he plays every game they have a chance. The perenial self-implosion come Spring is still a hurdle they have to overcome, as is Ozil's usual Lord Lucan act.
