I wanted to post what I wrote in the FA Cup final thread in general football, but I posted it in here.

What you have to realise is that Waddle has to act like a professional in the public eye, he cannot have the same emotional attachment than what you and I do. Also what you have to remember is that he's from Newcastle, so although he understands the rivalry between Spurs and Arsenal, culturally, it isn't the same to him as he was only with us for four season and during that time he was a paid professional.

However, if Sunderland won the cup, I doubt he would be singing their plaudits - this is due to his background and the stick he would get.


Oh i see, he would have been unprofessional if he didn't say he wanted them to win more trophies, he wasn't even asked, he just brought it up....its bollocks and he shouldn't have said it after playing for us for four years even if he is from up fucking north..IMO

Bit sad that, first trophy after 9 years and all he can think of is talking about Spurs. When was the last time Kompany said something about United, Gerrard about Everton etc.

Good Old Jack. Thought it was pretty decent banter.


Plus http://sincespurslastwonatrophy.co.uk/ :ROFLMAO:

Wilshere's an Arsenal fan, you'd expect that of him. I'm sure guys like Townsend and Livermore would do the same and we'd love them for it. Don't have a problem with it, it's all for show.

The website is amusing too, but in all fairness it's a bit lost on us. We're the kind of club who naturally go years without winning things. Liverpool and Arsenal have enjoyed more success than us, so it's more fitting to take the piss when they go on long losing streaks as it winds them up more. We go years without winning and we're just ambivalent towards it as we're used to celebrating every now and then instead of regularly. It makes our achievements better when we finally do. You might as well make a website called "sincewesthamlastwonatrophy". They'd feel the same way.

But you were quoting me on my anger at Waddle saying he wanted them to win more trophies..still don't get your point in reference to what i said.

You're angry that a professional pundit was supportive of a manager that was under pressure to win something, won something, on the basis that said pundit once played for us ?

By the way, if you search "waddle wenger" on google, the first result is Waddle claiming Walcott "hasn't got a footballing brain". Does that make you a happy man as he was being mean to an Arsenal player ?

Posted before I saw this little gem. Precious doesn't even begin to describe that quote.

I refuse to have to explain to you why a spurs fan would not like a former spurs hero to want Arsenal to win more trophies,

Its one thing saying ''i am glad for Wenger'', and another ''i hope they go on to win more trophies.''........read my post before you start getting scum defensive.

I suppose you joined in the Parade yesterday too , in support of that poor under pressure manager who finally won something?

fucking drives me nuts some of the crap on here, and we wonder why the atmosphere at the Lane is so shit lately.

I think we can all agree that Spurs were the real winners on Saturday.

What makes me laugh is how all the Arsenal fans I know are suddenly passionate fans again - yet for the last few years they been in the woodwork and acting like they don't care or want Wenger out

Equally its amusing to think that 9 years ago they won the FA cup and it wasn't even deemed important enough to warrant an official celebration - it was beneath them

Now they've won it and their fans are all acting like they won the Euromillions lottery

It just shows that the mighty Arsenal have fallen a long way down and now they're basically the same as us and share our aspirations - ok they might still be ahead of us and actually achieving these goals (let's be honest we'd all be dizzy had we won the FA cup and qualifed for the CL in the same season) but it shows that a club that once were Champions and unbeatable with eyes on becoming champions of Europe every year are now considering a FA cup win and a CL qualification in the qualifying rounds to be a great season

9 years ago that Cup win and runners up league place was considered a failure of a season - says a lot about their demise
just as a guage of their current expectations and perception of success.

In short - Fuck Arsenal and their fair weather fans

Exactly how I feel!

I think it is kinda pathetic on how our supporters behave, especially towards Arsenal. When I was younger, during the Gazza and Lineker days, we were very close in terms of club stature, income etc... Sure I disliked Adams and Co back then but now I've grown out of being a "hater" of them and I actually admire their club. Where as I absolutely despise Chelsea more than I ever did Arsenal.

The Arsenal have done everything in the correct and proper way on how a football club should be managed, they've continuously had to sell their best players, whilst still competing for trophies and building a new stadium. Everything Levy is trying to do is to emulate the way Arsenal have grown into the 3rd wealthiest sports club in the world, but by trying to improve on what they've done by learning from the mistakes they've made.

Obviously we all know a bunch of Arsenal supporters and they're intolerable when they're on the wind-up, but they've earned that right due to their successes and if the boot was on the other foot, I'm sure that we would be the same towards them.

We clutch at straws trying to get one up on them; "mind the gap" and the pathetic "9 years without a trophy" when during those 9 years, they've played in more finals than us, including a champions league final, but due to variance and other factors they never won, where as we did in one and lost in the other.

Fucking sickens me that they're now on 11 FA cups, and I was so proud when I was a boy that our 8 was the record.

Anyway, I have enough to worry about my beloved Spurs to give a rats ass about them...

stand up if you love Tottenham!

Edit: I never read Easley's post before I wrote mine.

I worked in Finsbury Park for 10 years and had the 'pleasure' of knowing a few....they are the most fickle, annoying pricks you will meet....and i told them everyday.
