They don't really seem like plastics. To be honest, most foreigners wouldn't know a team in the Barclays ENGLISH Premier League would be from Wales.
To be fair the odd tourist coming to a game isn't the problem... it's the UK fans that have bought into the rhetoric spouted by Hill Wood/Kroenke's etc that keep this going.. Tourists are expected in all major cities
Hey come on lads, these idiots didn't know you played in red. I had trouble keeping a straight face. I must confess to giving them some false facts about Arsenal. I do apologise but I'd had a few pints and couldn't help myself. I think the best was when I said you were called the Gunners because during the war (can't believe I used that phrase) you had guns and were allowed to shoot any Tottenham fans within sight of Highbury. Worst thing was that were even writing down some of my rubbish too. SORRY
Never heard of it. I've watched a Barclay's Premier League, an FA Premier League, a Football League First Division, but never heard of no "English" Premier League.
Very worrying that we got beaten by a league 2 side playing our first 11. It's clear to see that Wenger was treating this very seriously but still ended up losing. Anyone saying they don't care about this competition is missing out the obvious, WE GOT BEATEN WITH OUR FULL STRENGTH SQUAD! All I'm hearing is get rid of the owners. How the hell was it there fault for us losing against Bradford? Sorry but Wenger takes the blame for this defeat and it's about time that he gets some accountability for a change!
Wenger has been taking a great deal of flak for ages. A point may well be reached soon whereby his position becomes untenable, but it would be a mistake to pretend the pressure from the fans and the media haven't played a rather large part in this.
That was the first time I've ever seen a 4th division team out play and out pass a Premier League team. Weird.
Stop being an ass. They didn't even come close to outplaying us. A lot of stupidity in this thread. It happens, get over it.
The fact they didn't outplay us is a further damnation of ourselves, they were there for the taking, but we didn't put them to the sword, makes it even WORSE. We basically THREW AWAY THIS GAME, we could've easily beat them 3 or 4-1 by the end of extra time, but we decided to be very silly with our chances and played like we'd already won the game.
I might just have to change my signature ( If I can stop laughing long enough ) go on then - view my profile - and come back to laugh at my humble L2 team. Sadly we haven't got the financial stability to which you refer - but please do not embarrass yourself by claiming to be unconcerned about a defeat or lack of glory. Even in L2 a defeat hurts.
And what about Theo, Giroud and Arteta. The players playing were still first string 11, the other 3 were an alternative first 11. Also, why be pedantic and name those 3? We were playing Bradford, not Barcelona! As for Wenger gets stick from the fans, yes he does and he he rightly does, as the buck ends with him. Getting paid £6m a year, not winning anything for 7 years and losing against Bradford in the 8th trophiless year so far, makes for damning reading.
Don't say FULL STRENGTH TEAM if we are mssing 3 starters mate Also Wenger has earned his pay with the past successes
How does that make it worse? Get mummy to pick your toys up and put them back, grow a pair, and for God's sake show some class. Bradford played well, they rolled the dice, and they took their slim chance of winning. It happens in football ALL the time. That is why so many people love football. What you say now is, "Well played Bradford and good luck in the next round". Then you support your team in the next competition; in the next game. I saw every player putting in a good shift, I didn't see anyone quitting. This is sport, there are winners and losers. It isn't a video game where everyone wins, every time.
It makes it worse, because Bradford were there to take, and we didn't, simple as that, so we have ourselves to blame. There's nothing to give Bradford credit for, for most of the second half, and entire extra time, they did nothing against us. They were there for the taking. Yeah, next competition, where we will probably lose to Reading, then you can come back here, and give us this cliche pep talk.
