    What have you seen?

    Go to the white lion pub near Chelsea's ground and you'll love the songs. Anti irish, anti Pakistani, anti Muslim, anti anything but white english. I had the misfortune of working there over 20 years ago.

    I heard vile rascist homophobic abuse aimed at Ashley Cole, from Arsenal fans, when I was at a Chelsea Arsenal game a few years back, should I now hate Arsenal??? :confused:


    Go to a kip of a pub you are bound to find low lives.

    1 example of many efb.

    Not sure why you are trying to stand up for chelsea and their fans. Only ground where I have seen the gay pride colours and a gay banner in England is at the Emirates.

    As a gay gooner, you're welcome at Stamford bridge would be enlightening. Ask the gay gooners when you meet up with them what they think of chelsea. Chelsea as a club are the antithesis of everything Arsenal stands for.

    Pontificate all you want, I still despise Chelsea. That no surrender banner and the combat 18 salutes (saw them as recently as last winter) are very inclusive. You certainly will not get me lick arsing to blue noses, whether irish or not.

    Anyway this is the arsenal thread. I was pleased with Joel's performance. A promising start.

    What I really don't understand is how some Arsenal fans are posting on the chelsea super thread saying they were unlucky.

    They are up their with Spurs. How you could have an ounce of sympathy for that lot as an Arsenal fan I'll never understand.

    Let's hope they don't sack the miserable one as I really really don't want Pep there.

    Well said.

    As a liverpool fan, I can't stand that club and everything associated with it. There are scumbag fans at every club, but there's a large portion of them at Stamford Bridge.

    When I've heard them boo during the minutes silence for Hillsborough, sing 'it's never your fault', and then all the other stuff like the Paris train incident, Mourinho being a pr*ck of a man etc. I must say I'm delighted about the form they're in.

    United fans on here may be much worse than Chelsea ones, but in general I despise Chelsea fans more than any other group.

    Spurs have a gay fan club too- something tells me their all bottoms- so we'd have to top! Lol

    Enough with the Chelsea bashing already, this is the Arsenal thread, move on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,491 ✭✭✭stuchyg


    Your much better off going into their own thread , they are doing it themselves. Makes for great reading.

    Must say I was impressed with giroud on sat. His hold up play and ability under the long ball was fantastic


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    He's always been great at both tbf

    He has always had the ability to be great at both but it hasnt always translated to games. Last few he has really been good though.

    ive had no luck to date so wondering if any kind soul could spare me their silver/red membership to buy a ticket for the Sunderland game. I want to bring a relation to their first game

    @tickets2arsenal A great Twitter handle that shares spares

    Thought Campbell had a good game and was great to see him score.

    I thought the more senior players looked a bit frustrated with him e.g. Ozil after his first half curler went wide and in the second half when he went for the top corner and missed when he could have played Santi in...

    Great result mind you.

    What was the story with Ollys tug on Merts shirt for the first goal...should have been a free out 😀

    Nearly 30 pages and I still havent posted in here? Wow, mid-term really was a blur. I'm glad my kids only get holidays a few times a year

    He was a little selfish at times, but playing in the first team will knock that out of him pretty fast. Just needs experience playing with the first team, that's all.

    Not sure about his goal celebration though, why bring a prop?

    I took Ollys tug as a kind of reminder, "You're staying back this time Mert!"

    He was willing to shoot from long range so hopefully that isn't knocked out of him...our players don't do it enough.

    On the right wing given the choice of Ox or Campbell as of now I'd be choosing Campbell everyday of the week.

    It may be early days but Chamberlain has been given lots of chances to impress and failed to do so,Campbell may not be the finished article bur looks like the better option imo.

    Poor Remi Garde! Maybe this is part of his education to take over from Arsene....

    A crap Villa team making them look good.
    Still see nothing in Grealish either.

    I didn't get it either. He was decent against us a while back, but the scramble to get him declaring for Ireland was a tad embarrassing! I suppose we don't have the dearth of talent as a country as we used to have, so any premiership player would help!

    He will be left in international wilderness now he chose England.

    Villa scored and have been outplaying Spurs for the last 20 mins or so. If they equalise, he's out of LMS....
