What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 21/22

[Arden]

We are far fitter now than we were this time last season and even earlier in the season. I think we'll be OK.

I'm more concerned about the legs v Burnley

It's the 12 O'clock kickoff that worries me, we never do well in lunchtime games

Especially against teams that sit deep at home. It helps kill the atmosphere and create nerves and a moaning crowd.

“Trophy dodging Chaz and Dave ****s” did make me chuckle.

Me too!

They don't sit quite as deep as they were under Dyche. Doesn't mean they won't against us but Mike Jackson has been trying to play a bit more football. Will be interesting to see how they react after the Villa defeat.

 

[Dov67]

Lose on Thursday and that Burnley game won't matter anyway.

Even if we had already secured 4th spot, my nerves would be shredded on Thursday, but with so much riding on it its going to be a horrible horrible night, unless and until 3 points are secured

Agree with the top part.

The bottom part however - this is where we need to change the fans Mentality and thought process. We should be looking forward to handing this lot a pasting. The place needs to be rocking. There is nothing to be afraid of with this arsenal team and we need to convey that from the stands. I’m going and im going to enjoy every moment of putting the pressure back on arsenal for their next game.

Don't get me wrong - I am going to be screaming, shouting, chanting, jumping up and down in my full Mr AngryFace, but at the same time my nerves will be shredded and I won't enjoy a second of it until, the final whistle and we have 3 points in the bag.

One of the only games against them I ever thoroughly enjoyed was the penultimate game at the old WHL - we were so superior to them, that I didn't think they could get anything from us if we played for a month. This game will be different because the sides are much more evenly matched and there''s a lot at stake for both teams

 

[Nice One Cyril]

I would have loved to have qualified for CL weeks ago... But even if we had done, I would still be nervous in the remaining games because I want us to win every game. Even the final game of the season at Norwich, I'll be desperate for the win. COYS.

agreed. This was also in my mind when we got the point at anfield. If (big IF, I know) arsenal were to lose at Newcastle a draw would do us in this game because of that anfield point. Assuming we win Thursday of course....

The only thing to do is concentrate 100% on each game as it comes. We've only recently (Burnley, Southampton, Brighton) seen the consequences of thinking too far ahead when we had what seemed to be a handful of easy games in hand and fucked them all up. If we fail to make CL it will because of those games when we could have put the whole thing to bed but failed to turn up. Every game is do or die now.

Yeah but that would have to be in hindsight because we play first and many a wrist would have been slitted on here on Sunday with little to no confidence that the Monday would bring us a reprieve.

Please don’t think I was questioning your commitment personally by the way - just picking up on some of the language that’s all!

I agree about there being more at stake - but I actually think we’re going to school then a little bit Thursday - at least I pray to the football gods we do. A proper hiding that will really ramp up the pressure. They have had so much good fortune recently and I think we have a far better front line than what they have faced in the last couple of months

If Newcastle turn up, like crystal Palace did against them, then they could win quite easily. That's what I'm praying for anyway...

• Conte managing for himself rather than Spurs. A draw at Anfield looks lovely on his CV.
• Tough to take that. We’re at the point where any dropped points are disappointing, we are that good, but the way spurs set up it was always going to be difficult.Conte deserves credit considering how much of a mess their defence was when he arrived unfortunately
• 
  
• 
  
• Shocking. To fuck it away to fucking Spurs of all people after leaving Harry Kane just have a free run at goal is so very fucking annoying. Fuck me.
• Well done Spurs.. you just timewasted yourselves out of the top 4.
• spurs have defended them really well too to be fair to them
• I have never seen a bunch of players go down so easily than Tottenham.
• Ah well. Was fun while it lasted
• Weird how Tottenham just wanted a point, they won't get top 4 now even if they beat Arsenal
• Gutted
• Trophy-dodging Chas 'n' Dave c***s.
• could have lost it at the end there
• I hope Arsenal get fourth. Fuck that sort of negative shit football.
• Fuming
• Bastard Spurs
• Fuck Spurs, just fuck them. Fuck Conte, fuck them all. Just fuck off.
• Fuck off Conte with your fucking Allardyce tactics.
  What a fucking fraud.
• Spurs have taken 4 points of us and 6 off them. Weird as they’re a bit shit.
• Arsenal to get top 4..
  Fuck off Spurs..
• Fucking game raising twats.
• Everything about that was fucking wank
• Knew spurs would throw a spanner in the works.
• Let's be honest, the league is probably done now.
• Painful watch that.
• They struggle to beat teams they should and just play like Burnely against top teams. He wont ever win the league with them playing like that, so whats the point?
• Spurs are an embarrassment, sitting with 11 men behind the ball and hoping for a break. The rolling, diving, time wasting was atrocious, you can see why Kane was made for this team. I hope Arsenal smash them, don't want them near the CL spots.
• Tottenham were savvy.
• Gutted.
• we allow Spurs to end our quad hopes. Very, very frustrating. Michael Oliver helped them by allowing them to cheat
• Spurs are probably the fourth best side in the league
• The were very good in defence.
• Jaysus, you'd swear we drew on purpose, the shite been spoken about the team in here.
  These guys might win you a CL you know, the second in 4 seasons.
  Sometimes you draw matches. Spurs beat Man City at home, just saying....
  We were slightly off it maybe. Spurs looked on it. That's life. Go cry yourself to sleep if it helps.

I wonder if they could bring theresrlves to slate Gerrard if he nicks a point for setting his team up the right way tomorrow evening

Do they really believe that they are that special that Conte, a man who has won numerous league titles and trophies, gives a flying f**k about drawing at Anfield? He set us up to win the game. It just wasn't how Klopp does it but he still tried to win the game.

They're a bunch of delusional clowns.

Agree. Though I feel we just never get the credit we deserve, if we are doing well then there's talk of our manager leaving for new pastures, if we are doing shit then the manager is going to leave as well.
Had it not been for a fucking deflection we would have taken all 3 points.

 

[t79boy]

From Arsenalmania :

Henry's glittering career will be irrelevant because Harry Kane, despite scoring more goals, hasn't got a single ****ing trophy to show for it. Not one. Not even a league cup. :lol:
Wow, what a sad, delusional little man he is.

Yeah I do hope we play White right back and Tomi left back.
Holding to batter Kane.
Celebration at theirs thursday

I think though the fact that we’re not having to go out and win is huge.
We can camp out and not get drawn out by them. They look f*cking gash when they can’t spam counters.
Set up for a draw and make them overcommit.

It is quite surprising how poor most Sp**s fans think we are, they think they are levels better than us. The word 'lucky' seems to pop up every other post. Most of them believe they would be miles ahead of us if it wasn't for our luck and their bad luck. I've seen mention of us falling back to our 'true position' of 8th-10th next season a few times too.
This mentality of 'we have Kane, Son and Romero, they have Nketiah, Lacazette and Holding' is just stupid as we could all hand pick 1 v 1 matchups that are one sided. I see this kind of comment a lot from Sp**s and Man Utd fans on their forums. The 'lets laugh at Arsenal because they paid £50m for White when we got Varane for free' is a stand out example of this mentality.
I would rather have our crop of young, hungry 'nobodies' than a lot of their supposed experienced, World class 'stars' that's for sure.

They are actually the luckiest team in the league.
And get all the decisions as they have the England captain playing for them.

That’s the majority of their fanbase. Delusional.:lol:

Think they are a big club with two ****ing leagues in their whole history and a history of bottling everything in sight. When the best two players in their last 80 years do one they will be back to being **** and finishing lower mid table
Chiellini put it perfectly a few years back ‘the history of Tottenham is bottling it’

I'm normally one of the more optimistic posters on here but I think we will lose this match. I believe we are going to lose game midfield, now despite Elneny very good form recently (our best peforming cm this season), the likes of Hojbjerg and Betancur are far superior to the likes Elneny, Partey (even if he wasn't injured) and Xhaka.

If this happens it’ll turn nasty. They are a snide, dirty bunch when things aren’t going their way. Would expect a few nasty challenges from them with no punishment - Kane seems to get away with murder on the pitch

Wow, Hojbjerg is average, Elneny is a better player, and Bentancur has the ability but also has xhaka moments in him giving away needless possession, not seen them win a game in midfield yet, in our run of wins over February and March, Partey was instrumental in us winning those games
All Sp**s top performances have come from counter attacking long balls out wide, it will not be won in midfield by them
We need to stick Elneny on Kane, and Tomiyasu on Son, stifle their main outlets, I fancy our chances up against Dier and Davies, and need to wind Romero up, he's a red card waiting to happen

Hojbjerg is a plumber

Tottenham are perennial failures just like United; but the media love them. When was the last time either won a trophy? Joke clubs!
I feel we can win this but the players will have to keep it tight and be swift on the break.

I can only assume this person is 11 years old, and can't remember anything before his 6th birthday. United perennial failures, what the fuck?

Where are they reading?

I do not know the answer. But based solely upon posts in here, and in the Let's Laugh at Arseanal thread, although there's been 1 or 2 that have mentioned that Arseanal have seemed to have a fair bit of luck.

There have been a fair number of us saying they've done well to turn their season round, and if they get top 4, it's because they deserve it!

A club that dominated football for 2 decades are perennial failures ?

The media love Tottenham ?????

How do I go about finding out what drugs he's on? I want some of that shit!
