I enjoy it to be honest.  It's fun that supporters from other clubs like posting on here. I don't mind a bit of tribalism either. It's all very boring when we all agree together on everything anyway.

The Gooners on this forum have always been sound mostly.  We don't get a ton from other clubs although occasionally, Spurs and Newcastle have had some good presence.  The occasional United supporter as well.  Perhaps the best part of it are the non-football conversations well (like TNB and Johnno) in the politics threads.

It's all good fun really.  Perhaps a little weird, but the content is not worse than the same old posters rehashing the same old arguments on the main forum.

I don't think anyone does, though I always find it funny when the Arsenal lads are a bit taken aback by it  :D
So bloody what? If you watch football to be absolutely miserable then go watch cricket.

By the way, see while we’re talking about Arsenal copying Liverpool, can I remark on a slight annoyance I have, obviously to be taken in good spirit.

See all versions of Allez Allez Allez I’ve heard, from Arsenal, to Villa, to Rangers, to the foreign clubs, line 2 and line 4 rhyme, in Liverpools case going to stop / won the lot. That’s cool.
However, lines 6 and 8 also rhyme, in Arsenals case, Arsenal through and through / and in the Clock End too. In Rangers case it’s follow near and far / stands at Ibrox Park. Liverpools version of the fields of Anfield Road / we come from Liverpool messes with my OCD!

Sorry, just had to point that out.

I've no idea what your lyrics are and don't want to know. In fact I only know one Arsenal song and that's 'Good old Arsenal' which I believe was written for you by the linesman and TV pundit Jimmy Hill so you lot could 'compete' with the Kop in the 1971 FA Cup Final. A very naff song too. "While we sing this song we'll win the game" etc. It's always amazed me that any self-respecting football supporter would want to sing such rubbish.

Was just a light hearted observation mate, wasn’t meant as a massive critique.

I’m unfortunately not a match going fan living too far away so TNB will know more about the home songbook more than me. From what I see we actually do have a variety of different songs, the manager has one, a lot of the current players like Saliba, Havertz, Odegaard, Jesus etc, but I hear the away fans singing these songs a lot more than the home fans.

I hope Liverpool win tonight, but only by a small margin. Infact i hope you go all the way. A final against xabi alonsos Leverkusen will be high profile enough to require a lot of attention and energy.

Now there is a player who has fallen completely off the map. He was the next coming a season and a half ago

Not really - he's having another good season in Ligue 1, which is his level.

Dont think its any surprise that none of the top 3 won in Europe this week, or played with any type of tactics or control. This title race seems too hot right now for players to get up for other competitions, this is what ive seen this week.

I think it's more just 3 top teams used to playing in a certain way just not expecting or being used to the precision and speed of the counter attacks from good European teams. We dropped a stinker, but Arsenal and City just came up against something they rarely have to face in the league - World Class players counter attacking them and making small mistakes pay.

We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks

We looked a bit arrogant and complacent like we believed the hype that the premier league is the strongest league in the world and we should finish the tie in one game because bayern are shit this season. We dont even throw as much caution to the wind against Brighton, but obviously they’re better than bayern, we treated them like a lower league team in a cup game, they taught us a bit of a lesson.
Watched Liverpool last night, looked very tired, flat and hesitant. The premier league takes so much out of you.

Ah well, Arsenal winning it would have distracted everyone from the elephant in the room.

The cheats winning it again will hopefully put the scrutiny back on them.
