bobby1413Snowflake Royal My view is also coloured by that FA Cup semi where on the way I encountered an alchi racist who tried to claim we'd never been to Wembley before, and then on the way back some graceless hag who thought that narrowly beating Reading in extra time was some sort of gloatworthy great achievement.
Never really encountered any individuals acting pcunty and billy big bollox on the way to or from games before. Generally we're all just footie fans having a laugh or a chat.
Yes I also experienced/witnessed a lot of gloating too after that game. The 7-5 loss at home also didn't help!
It's hard to explain but every Arsenal fan I seem to know seems to be the same character. Just so far away from other football fans it's unreal. No real understanding of football from a fans perspective.
The fact they arrive late, leave early, the whole ArseneOut thing...
Everything about them seems image driven and an air of perfection. The shirt, the fancy padded seats at the ground. Just everything is just off.
People call us and Fulham the Waitrose type middle class fans. I'd say Arsenal are better contenders

Old Man Andrews Think Arsenal and their current style of play proves beyond doubt Wenger should have gone a few years ago, he has held the club back. Seems Emery has let them off the lead and I reckon they'll be top 4 for sure.

Old Man Andrews The decision to remove Wenger was a very wise one. Arsenal are on a great run and now are a bit more resiliant under pressure. The Arsenal of old buckle when Leicester take the lead but Emery has changed that. They are a few players away from being genuine contenders, desperately need a world class CB and a world class LB.

They are contenders now - any one of that current top 5 can win the league this year. I think Arsenal now would pick up points v City and Chelsea, unfortunate for them that they had to play them in the first two games under new management.

Sanguine There's always an element of moving the goalposts when it comes to criticising the bigger teams, I find. Were winning ten on the spin easy, whoever the opponent, it would happen all the time, but it isn't. Goes for Liverpool too - they beat the big sides, and then hammer the little sides but get held to draws and get criticised for it. Now this season they are winning against the little teams, without playing that well, and people say 'wait until they play someone good'.
In their next 8 they play Sporting Lisbon twice, Palace, Blackpool, Wolves, Bournemouth, Vorskla again, and Liverpool. We might be talking about 18 in a row....

Stranded If you beat all the "little" teams then your results against the rest of the top 6 aren't vital. Say Arsenal lost all games to Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Utd, Spurs but beat all the rest that gives them 84 points - historically very close to a title and certainly securing a CL place.
The top 6 will take points off each other this year, the league will be won by the team who gets as near to a perfect record against the rest of the league who will win it IMO.
