Yep, I'm afraid so. If you identify with this sort of rubbish then you are everything that's wrong with modern football, and men in general.
****: "...so you like footie. I've been a gooner "fan" for over 20 years." ME: "Really?" ****: "Yes, how've they been getting on?"
His first sentence implies Arsenal fans care so much. Compared to who? My assumption was, why he thought he had to make a statement about his cousin's passion for Arsenal. Surely he was making a comparison with his own support towards Watford Oh, and **** off with the 'issues' b0110cks
I vote toilet paper. Why do companies make toilet paper that feel like your wiping your bum with sandpaper? Not only that the same company then releases a deluxe brand that is a slight step up and only feels like tracing paper. Thus actually making it feel deluxe compared to standard roll of sandpaper. What I don't get is how they are still in business. Do people actually like the sensation of feeling and seeing spots of blood on the toilet roll after each wipe? Weirdos.
And why do hotel chambermaids insist on putting a pointy bit on the end of the loo roll. What do they think you're gonna do. Stick it up your ars.hole or something? Personally, having an aversion to porcelain, I prefer the 'al fresco' experience: 1. Find suitable coniferous woodland, heathland or raised bog habitat. 2. Walk through it until you 'feel one coming on'. 3. Squat down and have a dump next to a big clump of sphagnum moss. Wipe arse with said clump of moss while squeezing gently. This will release a refreshing flow of cleansing water. Beautifully warm on a hot day. Repeat at will if it gets you off. 4. Pull up cacks and continue onwards. Incidentally, there are various varieties of sphagnum moss each with their own qualities. So the field is ripe for a Ph.D. paper on: Nature's Natural Toilet Paper - A Species by Species Analysis. Finally, this putting dog sh.t in a wee black bag has perhaps gone too far. Sure it's the right thing to do on the pavement, a footpath or a playing field. But in the woods? C'mon. If I behave like a bear in the woods then I certainly won't be putting it in a bag and taking it home with me. Cassetti's Beard and Reids might usefully reiterate their advice on what's best to do behind the Co-op in Brentford.
good glory day my watfords friends. yes I return it is me hottuto from dr congo yes. long time since I was come to here but I forget you all never no no no and your wifes too. here in dr congo many of my people follow this the arsenal men and wear the arsenal men shirts that your red cross men throw at them from a helicopter. these men are very virile and sire many children. is this true also in England? do arsenal men have the most ngono? please tell me as I do not know this. one arsenal man had so much ngono that his hood of the penis got rip in two and now when he does urine some goes up to his eye it is very funny to watch oh yes.

He once rang up my boss and shouted down the line "Listen here you biscuit eating English cxnt , if you don't get my film finished in the next 2 days I'm going to reach my hand down this phone line and rip your balls off" I particularly liked the biscuit eating line of abuse . Personally I would consider that a compliment .
In comparison to the other globally huge clubs, I was implying. Certainly not what you thought, anyway! Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk
Do we know what kind of toilet role the squad use ? It was the tracing paper stuff from when I was a kid I could never understand
I have a sneaking suspicion who hotwetpant might be. Obviously inspired by the work of Samuel K Amphong of 'Where is Beatles Band' fame.
Personally ive never understood how anyone can label a certain set of supporters as being a certain way.. 'Arsenal fans are plastic.. City fans are Johnny come lately's.. Liverpool fans have big noses.. Villa fans sweat a lot.. Bristol Rovers fans walk with a limp and drink Tizer' It's as sensible as saying all Virgo's are artistic or that all Aries are psychopaths. For starters you're only going to know a handful of supporters of other clubs. Well unless you happen to move to an area where it's predominantly fans of one club. But even then are you likely to move to 20 or more different areas to get to know what different sets of fans are like? So how do you come to the conclusion you do? You read it online or your mate down the pub told you it was like that. Also if it's true that other clubs fans are a certain way then it must be true of us. So what label are we going to put on ourselves then? (Trust me most outsiders see US as the Hooray Henry's!) Truth is most clubs fans are much of a muchness. Ok some certain fans of certain big clubs might come across as arrogant because they are used to winning things and expect that to continue.. cant blame em really. It would also seem the larger the club the more "plastics" they attract. That's human nature i'm afraid and is actually a sign of how successful your club has been over the years. It would be no different for us should we ever join the elite.
Anyone got any stink bombs for Arsenal TV when they're crying at the end talking their usual boll**ks?
Surely you'd agree all Grimsby fans smell of fish. I'm serious; I've spent enough time at Fish Dock 3* in Youngs HO in the past to know these things. Name me one that doesn't. Even the Great GT had a slight whiff about him. *possibly not my most glamorous business trip destination.
As I say, I haven't read it; but from what other people are saying isn't that essentially what the book is about? Perhaps it's a question of degree. It's just football supporting, for God's sake. I hope we hammer them, but I shall be watching the football, not the other team's supporters. Where I can understand us disagreeing is that I actually don't dislike Arsenal much, whereas there are a few clubs and their supporters I really do dislike - Leeds, Luton, Millwall, prob West Ham and, going back a bit, Chelsea, Leicester, Sheffield Wed, Portsmouth (!) and Cardiff - large numbers of dangerous, abusive louts who make you feel threatened. And I do understand it (and agree with you!) when you and Clive stress a strong tone of smugness and entitlement in the fans of many of the top 6 clubs. Yep, could do without that.
Kelso, my gripe was nothing to do with this book. It was what I perceived to be the use of the terms 'white' and 'middle class' - as terms of vague abuse. I see this as a tiny example of lazy thinking, incorporating a curious attitude to our own society: Western societies are by no means perfect but seem in many ways to be the most libertarian, successful, diverse and generous societies the Human Race has ever seen. And yet so many of our numbers seem bent on a form of self-flagellation, where we are required to apologise for existing.
Prodl? What's the point? I'd keep him rested and stick with the makeshift line-up from last time - it's only Arsenal ffs. Looking ahead, we've got some tough games coming up against Chelsea and Utd and we'll be glad of a fully firing Prodl by then. By all means give him a run out to get him up to speed in the last 15.
Undoubtably. I’ve a Chelsea supporting friend, well more acquaintance, who has supported Chelsea all his life now approaching 50 years, who has been through the lean times, the div 2, the “May win the fa cup if we’re lucky” times, yet is still staggeringly arrogant, refuses to accept they were bankrolled to success and still believes they are on Man Utd and Liverpool levels of global popularity. The **** he spouts on Facebook is hilarious.
This is obviously not true though. Your choice of club is dependant on your personality and marks out what sort of person you are. If you are a weak-kneed, chinless, shallow type with a desperate psychological need for constant reaffirmation and the need to be thought "a winner", you'll obviously be attracted to the glamour clubs. The Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd types that get all the publicity and can be counted upon to win trophies on a reasonably regular basis. You hope some of the glamour will rub off on you and that you'll be able to bask in the victor's glory as though some part of it were yours. Then there's the genuine, down-to-earth, football fan who follows his local club through thick and thin. The proper supporter. The one club man. The Horny Hornet. I've got far more admiration and respect for a Torquay United or Grimsby Town fan than I have for any Gooner, Spud or other big six fan. And I don't buy how passionate and dedicated they are to their teams either. We all remember clearly how there was a pollution of super-dedicated, Liverpool 'til I die, ferry across the Mersey, Kenny Dalglish loving super scousers around a few years ago. All really, really dedicated. Cut 'em and they bleed scouse. Well where are they now that Liverpool aren't winning anything any more? Where have they all disappeared to? Eh? And you never, ever, ever in a month of Sundays came across a Man City fan this far south, or if you did, he/she was a proper football supporter. Now, suddenly, out of the blue, you can't move for them. All really, really dedicated. Mancs til they die. Always have been, always will be. Hmmmmmm. (makes Jimmy Hill beard stroking sign)
This is obviously not true though. You cant possibly know that outside of stuff youve seen/heard online, the limited number of Liverpool fans youve actually met.. or you are simply following the well worn football cliche that every supporter of a big club is a disloyal plastic. So how have you drawn your conclusion on how Liverpool fans are these days then? Have you been a regular visitor to Anfield? Have you surveyed their support? and then did the same at the other big clubs? and am i right in thinking that now they arent so good and these weak-kneed, chinless types have moved on that the 55 thousand turning up at Anfield these days are all genuine, down-to-earth, "proper" supporters then? As for Man City, yes there are seemingly more of them around now.. probably because they have mega rich owners and theyve started winning a few things. Does this mean that all previous City fans have now disappeared though? Those that followed the club through the lean years have just packed their bags and left because others have jumped on the bandwagon? I'd doubt that personally. Hey, maybe the larger clubs have the same mix of fans that i believe every club does. They just have more of them & thus we hear about it more.. and that pisses people off. PS Choosing your football club by your personality.. you were joking right?
At least we agree that Arsenal fans are all whining melts who spend their spare time getting 'lost' in a good book. I can already see their Facebook status' on Saturday night: "Why do I bother with this" "Wenger just leave please" "If only we had more than one song" "Anyone know the Man Booker prize nominees?" Meh
No, I absolutely wasn't joking. And I'm not on about how many there are at Anfield or how many there used to be at Main Road or Highbury. I'm on about how many there are wandering around Watford high street or Oxford city centre or anywhere else that isn't Liverpool, North London or Manchester wearing reproduction shirts of those 'glamour' clubs - presumably, as I say, in the fond expectation that we'll look at this miserable spotty little herbert going past and say to ourselves "Wow! Arsenal supporter eh? He must be one of life's winners, him." That, I submit, is why they take humiliating defeat so hard, whereas we regular supporters of football can shrug it off - well we have to! For them, the important thing is winning. It's the be all and end all. Second is nowhere. They're often very emotionally fragile those sort of people and that's another reason why it is so satisfying when we beat them. Of course, where we do agree is that it is not possible to lump all fans of a particular club under one label. There are many Man City fans who are truly supporters of that club from when they were born in the same way as we support our club. Similarly with the other big clubs. But I'd suggest these are lost in a vast ignorant mooing sea of bovine halfwits who know little about football, care less about it and are interested merely in celebrity, perceived glamour and above all - winning, winning, winning.
Well.. often when you read comments about how certain fans are people do indeed brush them all with the same brush. With very broad brush strokes. Personally i think it's perfectly legit to support a London club if you come from Watford.. hell even a Northern club if you do it properly. I knows Leeds and Man United followers from Aylesbury who have been going since the 1970's.. and a whole bunch following London clubs who have been doing the same. I often used to sit with them on the train (getting off at Moor Park) and that's why i know a good many of them were/are good football folk. Sorry but i'm never gonna consider them as plastic because they follow a team away from where they originate. Anyway are you instantly regarded as a loyal supporter if you follow your local team? That (commonly held) attitude seems very shortsighted if you ask me.
The Empire was more regularly known as the fleapit of course. I took a grammar school gal out there to see Towering Inferno at the Empire (insert grey bearded/walking stick smiley) and later on, to my astonishment, she was Juliet in the BBC's version of Romeo and Juliet. Didn't get to finger her Montague though.
Crikey HWP it must have been a long time since you were on here if you're using a picture of Martin Keown to represent 'Arsenal Mens'
