Football

The highlights are on bbc2 now. Though from Chelsea's point of view, there aren't that many except the ones in Torres hair

Its a bit quiet at Stamford Bridge. I never noticed earlier while I was sitting at my brothers singing with my scarf on

Laugh it up, cuntface... Liverpool are finished as a footballing force...

Srsly tho', probably shoulda been 0-2...

I'm in two members clubs so I can guarantee tickets. Real supporters go the game

The other one's Wantage Town, isn't it?

We are still in the UEFA Cup which is not a bad thing to win.

Hey, what about the UEFA cup?

I forgot the UEFA Cup, like most other football fans. :P

What's the UEFA cup? I thought they got rid of that two years ago.

The other one's Wantage Town, isn't it?

Ha, probably Fulham or Arse, easy to get tickets.

You can rant all you like about 5 European Cups and 18 League titles, but I'd argue that Arsenal are in a far stronger position to thrive in the future than Liverpool so I'd expect Arsenal to win more in the coming seasons. Arsenal have a new, modern stadium, which was built with money generated by the club and is close to being paid for, have consistently qualified for the CL and generate more income than all other English clubs bar United (who are sat on debts in excess of £800 million). I'd take our future over yours any day.

Andy is correct. In ten years time, in financial terms, Arsenal will be the strongest team in Europe :-(

Kopites of the cockney kind are hilarious. Sit there in their Sky TV towers given it 'history this and 5 European cups that'

Why weren't you at the fuckin game you muggy cockney cunts??

What 'support' do you actually provide for Kinky Kenny's Red Army? Puffing chests in a bike forum??!

Let me know if any of you tits wanna borrow £35 for a match ticket

was £52 actually... great result, couldn't have worked out much better really

And yes I'm a member of the SOS

stayed at a big club. Should have stayed at a big club

I'm not the one on here doing my nut at every slight, or perceived slight, against the club I support. Nor do I make any claims about Arsenal's history.

Dalglish has done well since coming in, better than I thought he would, but the fact remains that you've no chance of winning a trophy this season.

Better. Posts like that^ make some sense. My multiquotes are a response to all of the baiting and falsehoods written/listened to/read from media based 'experts' as well as folk here. You're right, we haven't won a thing and loosing to Wigan in the next game would make today pointless. I'd always hoped this would be a place for reasoned chatter but most of it has been a bit of a tap out.

Arsenal ARE the most solvent club in the Prem last I heard. You could spend £50M and still have more profit than everyone else. However having a new stadium and great accounts will not make up for the lack of atmosphere. Your time will come...once Wenger goes upstairs.

Quick note on the retaken vdv penalty, if the encroaching player doesn't interfere with play, ie tap in a saved penalty, then why whistle
still won though which is a result. Chelsea losing was good for us, keeps us in the hunt for fourth, liverpool winning brings them up into the hunt for Europe, which is a blessing and a curse.
Next game Milan, time to get a crew together...

..

Fair point. You just want some consistency with these situations.
You going to Milan?

What's their excuse?

COME ON

This.

Don't tell me. Gobby Tottenham fan. What is it with you lot?

Well that was crap. We were atrocious but lost to a worse team.

We had better win the FA Cup and CL then.

I'll admit I didn't even try for the Chelsea game, because I've never had any luck before.

You should have. Although the game was a sell out in every other area, there were huge gaps in the Liverpool end and most of those that were there were people who had bought from touts.

What's happened to teenslain? All trace of him has evapourated.

Found him and his new name. Why? Has he moved beyond his teens?

Not a Tuesdays child then Clive ?

having a conversation in the effra about the match liverpool and chelsea, and wondered how many liverpool fans actually frequent this here thread, and whether they just do more talking than any of the other participants. Because it seems to be all liverpool, all the time.
Speak up about anything else and it seems to be focused through a liverpool prism.
They are a team going through a bad patch, and their season seems to be going through a bit of an uplift now. So there was some guff about ownership, but nothing out of the ordinary in the preimer leagues mismanagement of who gets to own and run football clubs in this country.

But we speak so little of the other football stories, Utd's unconvincing run to the title. Blackpool's courageous football, Sunderland's rise to midtable obscurity and Asamoah Gyan's swift acceptance of life in the Premiership, (partizan bit) Tottenham's european travails, and attempt to return to the champions league next year, West Brom's rise and now fall, Stoke looking like their particular brand of lump it forward and hope the big man gets there succeeding in keeping them up, Owen Coyle turning Bolton into a footballing team.

So many stories, and all of them subsumed under the liverpool cacophony. I know its a case of frustrated, vocal fans venting, and being baited, but come on, football's bigger than that, and if you can't give praise or have an interest in any other team what's the point in watching it/discussing it/loving it at all..

it was packed in the lower tier.... no space whatsoever
