The Queen is a West Ham fan but most of the Royals are Arsenal fans except Prince Charles who is a Burnley fan. <laugh>
Ledley is still King for me.
 
I have to admit that the Queen is not a stereo typical Hammers fan is she. Alf Garnet always had a picture of the Queen hanging up. Did nobody tell her that Warren Mitchel is actually a Spurs fan.

City’ll still win their final game and they’ve got enough GD (at the moment) to not overly worry.

Man City winning the league again doesn’t bother me because they don’t have any fans to gloat about it on this board.

Liverpool competing with them shows it can be done with the correct sort of investment without needing to be owned by Arab/Russian billionaires who pump in ridiculous money

I can only say this based on my own experience, so this is purely anecdotal, but I don’t think many Arsenal fans do go on about the Invincibles in the way that you think. Some fans compare the squad we have now to the Invincibles to highlight the fall from grace and decline in standards, as opposed to waxing lyrical about how amazing that team was 24/7.

It was nearly 2 decades ago, so my view (and the view of Arsenal fans I know at least) is that we can’t keep clinging onto that because the reality is we are so far removed from that side now.

My experience with Liverpool fans hasn’t quite been that measured…again, like I said, this is only based on my experience, so I’m not generalising.

I have gooners in my family and friends that are Arsenal fans and they definitely sneak in comments about the invincible team whenever they can.

My point was just that all fans of all clubs have that in some capacity, utd look back to Fergie now, your lot to the invincibles, like we looked back to the boot room days before Klopp came.

Completely natural for fans to rub their sucsesses in the faces of the rest, we all do it when we can.

Liverpool fans tho for some reason create more resentment from other fans when we do it.

Just sayin that's how I see it

There is definitely a media bias when it comes to Liverpool. That probably annoys people more than your fans.

You mean the mass media bias about null and voiding the league that time?

Or the media bias about (just) Liverpool fans booing the national anthem and Prince William today in the papers?

Its doesn't annoy me that much nah<laugh>

Everton are effectively safe from the drop by GD if they get one more pt.
Which means all their squad (bar Alli) will be in "end
of summer term" mode come their final game.
