Rival watch

I can’t stand that prick

 

Your point about where you live is spot on...currently work with 3 gooners...2 give me **** so today was funny as... getting the kids to sing 10 green bottles etc.

 

I'm not sure how true this is. I'm from North London and my grandparents used to live off Lordship Lane. I still live no more than a half an hour drive from the stadium (without traffic!). So my experience as a fan has always been pretty 'local'.

Despite this, as a kid I absolutely hated Arsenal more than any other club and that was usually the only game I'd cry after when (not if) we lost.

But as I got older and playground banter got left behind, I began to realise that whereas my feelings toward them were based in rivalry or perhaps territory, my feelings towards Chelsea were based in genuine hatred. For their fan base, for their scummy players but most of all for what they did and continue to do to push football as a sport closer to the precipice of oblivion.

I hate Arsenal and love it when they lose. And when they do, I feel a flicker of pride.

But I genuinely loath Chelsea to a point where it is probably worrying. When they lose, I feel like football has scored a moral victory.

 

Chelsea's fanbase seems to be unevenly split between old racists and young, glory-hunting, oligarch-loving plastics.
The older fans don't recognise the club and the younger ones don't remember them being ****.
From West Ham without the claret to a mafiosos death avoidance scheme.

 

Spot on description.

Horrible horrible little club.

 

He does possess the ultimate qualification of being at a big club and not playing. Where Kalvin Phillips went wrong is taking the loan move to Wet Spam so that everyone (even Southgate) could see that not playing is not really a good thing for a footballer. If he had stayed at City I genuinely believe he had a good chance of going to the Euros.

 

Them lot : stick with Partey = no PL/CL party.

 

Here is the maths : Spanners (club + support) + money = Kings Rd FC.

 

An hour before Grealish according to some reports!

 

Hopefully, the City players will continue their bender until 5pm on Saturday.
Maybe 6pm, in case there’s extra time and penalties

 

Well said Colin, I have never had a season ticket and have probably been to less than a 100 Spurs matches the majority of those this century, I have been a Spurs fan (mainly armchair) since 1971, and I know that there are more dedicated Spurs fans than me I don't deny that but I am in my opinion as 'Proper Spurs' as anyone.

But equally I love football and have been to nearly a thousand matches in total many in around Kent, and have been to over 50 football league grounds and in fact there is only 1 of the 92 teams in the top 4 divisions that I have not seen play live. (Liverpool!)

 

Who are they?

 

If any of them are Gooners, that is a lottle of bottles they could be filling with pee ...

< just saying >

 

Regrettably, that's all too familiar, as we approach a final day fixture against a team that's already rele

I live in South London, in the Borough of Sutton, the belly of the beast. There are no words to describe my loathing of anything and everything to do with them. None.

 

Liverpool

 

There are attending, and non-attending supporters.
The latter may have attended some number of games over the years.

As one of the latter, for over 30 odd years I
have stuck to the vow that I would never take
a seat from the former regardless of how
great it would be to attend (I do miss the days
when other than for "full house" games, you
could decide on a whim to go and watch a game) .

 

I imagine EVERYONE enjoyed Sunday. It could hardly have gone better until Michael Oliver allowed the Arsenal goal. But if he hadn't then it would have meant that our loss on Tuesday did matter. And we played very well that night...lost to a couple of dodgy goals and had the better chances. I would still have rather taken our chances and had the opportunity even at the risk of Arsenal being successful

 

Well you imagine wrong seeing as a few have already openly said they would’ve preferred Arsenal to have won the league.
