How can you state that when Leicester won the league last season (punching above their weight) and Chelsea won it this season?
They won the league in the 2 individual seasons -I was talking about consistency across the 2 seasons

Yes, it's clear that Cheleicesea City were the best team over the course of those league campaigns.How can you state that when Leicester won the league last season (punching above their weight) and Chelsea won it this season?
You said you "could not give a stuff about the arsenal season 2005-06".Nothing to do with what was posted so irrelevant. HBIC was talking about Spurs being remembered by all this season even without winning anything simply because of their great football. Likening it to Holland '74 embarrassingly enough.
Remembering an Arsenal season because it was the last they played at Highbury is not the same thing as remembering a season because they played great football that year.
Also - comparing a non-trophy winning international team to a domestic team for whether they'll be remembered or not is also an unfair comparison. It's quite feasible for a top class international team to win squat as there's only one trophy every two years to play for. Domestic teams have, assuming you're vaguely good and in europe, four to play for each year. That's eight times as many trophies to play for.
A domestic team winning 0 out of 12 trophies in three years is a darn sight more damning (ie. if you can't win anything then you're not actually anywhere near great) than an international team winning 0 out of 1 trophies in three years (you could be the second best team in the world and just got beaten in a one off final).
What's embarrassing is seeing how desperate you are to try and gain some crumb of comfort from a season where you failed to qualify for the Champions league, finished below your "local" rivals in the table, saw a widespread campaign from your fans to have your manager sacked not just in stadiums but on social media, and have your club reduced to a laughing stock by a Youtube channel - yet having the sheer audacity to say your season will be remembered when anyone with an ounce of grey matter will say it was a appalling season from your lot that nobody will be talking about come pre-season training.Nothing to do with what was posted so irrelevant.

Can't be bothered to read past first paragraph. However, where have I said OUR season will be remembered? All I said is that our name would be written down on a trophy.What's embarrassing is seeing how desperate you are to try and gain some crumb of comfort from a season where you failed to qualify for the Champions league, finished below your "local" rivals in the table, saw a widespread campaign from your fans to have your manager sacked not just in stadiums but on social media, and have your club reduced to a laughing stock by a Youtube channel - yet having the sheer audacity to say your season will be remembered when anyone with an ounce of grey matter will say it was a appalling season from your lot that nobody will be talking about come pre-season training.
What's embarrassing is you using an easily-debunked argument, and when it was debunked in just thirteen characters (those thirteen characters being "1974 Dutch team") you try and double down on the embarrassment by trying to claim I made an argument that I clearly did not make, as literally everyone else posting in this thread can see.
What's embarrassing is the fact you're so desperate to cling to any form of comfort from such a pathetic season by your club that you're arguing that no Arsenal fan remembers the season where you reached your only Champions league final while also waving goodbye to Highbury because you're trying to score internet points without realising there's no such thing, and even if there was I won by a landslide with the same thirteen characters I use when debunking that same stupid argument from anyone else.
Are all Goons as small-minded as you that they cannot experience even the remotest sense of joy or accomplishment without having to talk about Spurs more than anything their club does?

Not for the football we played. Which is what HBIC is taking aboutYou said you "could not give a stuff about the arsenal season 2005-06".
As it was your last season at highbury (as well as the only season you made the CL final) I find that sad.
Your answer is nothing to do with my point mate. I will always remember our last season at WHL. I have been seeing it on tv since I was 7 yrs old, have been going since I was a 14 yr old, took my eldest since 2004 and my youngest since 2006.
I get your point as I get HBIC point but the 2005-06 season is surely a very important and therefore memorable season to arsenal fans.
It was a bad Season for Arsenal.What's embarrassing is seeing how desperate you are to try and gain some crumb of comfort from a season where you failed to qualify for the Champions league, finished below your "local" rivals in the table, saw a widespread campaign from your fans to have your manager sacked not just in stadiums but on social media, and have your club reduced to a laughing stock by a Youtube channel - yet having the sheer audacity to say your season will be remembered when anyone with an ounce of grey matter will say it was a appalling season from your lot that nobody will be talking about come pre-season training.

So it's all about perspective really. We've been bombarded with crap from Spurs and Chelsea fans for the last few weeks/months so its only natural Arsenal fans hit back after yesterdays trophy win.
What's embarrassing is that you admitted that you didn't read what I said, even though that made more valid points than your entire board has managed between them lately, but still felt the mouth off regardless.Can't be bothered to read past first paragraph. However, where have I said OUR season will be remembered? All I said is that our name would be written down on a trophy.
So I guess you answered my question for me: yes, all Goons are so small-minded as you that they cannot experience even the remotest sense of joy or accomplishment without having to talk about Spurs more than anything their club does.
JesusWhat's embarrassing is that you admitted that you didn't read what I said, even though that made more valid points than your entire board has managed between them lately, but still felt the mouth off regardless.
What's embarrassing is that your best defence for continuing to stick to your idiotic argument is to hold up Diego, ****ing Diego, blatantly misquoting me on your board as proof of...what, exactly? That there's some thick people on this forum? Do you think that a thick poster posting a thick comment on your board excuses you from making a thick comment on our board - and when called out on making a thick argument, you follow that with more thick arguments? You can see the key word in this paragraph, right? THICK, in reference to YOU and YOUR argument.
What's embarrassing is that, based on your constant defence of your THICK ARGUMENT, by that logic here are some other things you must clearly believe...
* Nobody remembers Alfred Hitchcock because he never won Best Picture or Best Director at the Oscars
* Nobody remembers Jimi Hendrix because he never won a Grammy
* Nobody remembers Twin Peaks because the show never won any Emmys or Golden Globes
* Nobody remembers Neil Kinnock because he never won a General Election
* Nobody remembers Nigel Mansell because he never won the F1 Championship
If you cannot see how THICK that argument which YOU are using is, or how THICK it is that YOU are hiding behind some dickhead posting some THICK comment completely out of context on your board, then you are genuinely beyodn reasoning with.
So I guess you answered my question for me: yes, all Goons are so small-minded as you that they cannot experience even the remotest sense of joy or accomplishment without having to talk about Spurs more than anything their club does.

Says the person who not only posts stupid comments, but defends trolls misquoting people knowing full well what the original comment was.Jesus![]()
But he didn't quote you though I thought?Says the person who not only posts stupid comments, but defends trolls misquoting people knowing full well what the original comment was.
Look at the top part of your response again. You know, the part which is a direct quote from me - which happens to be the only valid part of your response. You see the word "misquote" in there? Look up what that word means.But he didn't quote you though I thought?
You should calm down.Look at the top part of your response again. You know, the part which is a direct quote from me - which happens to be the only valid part of your response. You see the word "misquote" in there? Look up what that word means.
...which shouldn't take long considering I posted the dictionary definition on your board, since you're determined to have two boards witness me point out what a clueless idiot you are at the same time.
Cut the crap.You should calm down.
Whether or not others remember the season your team has just had..... really shouldn't matter so much to you.
