Arsenal

[easley91]

Fair on ya
But it will always be V Arsenal for me

I know the history, but Arsenal doesn't excite me anymore. Chelsea does. I think of the battle of the Bridge. Barely anything like that in recent years with Arsenal. Times have changed and as Arsenal have gone down, we went up (and slightly back down again) they're not as enticing as a hostile derby in my opinion.

Arsenal is always the first game I look for at the beginning of the season
I saw many Arsenal derbies over the years and they are a highlight for me personally W,L or D

From a Reddit comment:

Arsenal have as many points as we have goals conceded, and we have as many points as they have goals conceded lmao

Bollocks mate.
I wouldn’t give a fuck if they were non league.

Chelsea are like West Ham, forging a faux rivalry with us because they have no rivals in the same league.

It’s Arsenal...it will always be Arsenal.

Nah mate. Arsenal have been clowns for the last 10 years. Chelsea a West Ham are better derby wise.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the derbies...but there’s only 1 real rivalry for me.
It’s partly because I know so many Gooners.
I only know a few West Ham, and hardly any Chelsea.

Come to Essex mate. West Ham is the only derby.

To me an Arsenal loss hurts more, but I can’t stand Chelsea. Hate Arsenal as I’m spurs, hate Chelsea as I’m human.

I'm going to enjoy the next two weeks more than I've ever enjoyed an international break before.

its partly because they are a poor team but also partly because they dont seem to have any players that care / get the rivalry anymore.

Even down the years you had non English guys you loved to hate like Fabregas or Szesny as they got the rivalry but the current Arsenal team are so dull

Even their "villain" players like Xhaka seem more hated by their own fans than opposition

That said as others have said I know loads of Arsenal and hardly any Chelsea and or West Ham so most of the winds ups are still about Arsenal and Arteta and the joke that is AFTV
