Sorry to break it to you lot
True.
We need to look at this as a kick up the backside and a reality check. Spurs for years where our little bitch, our local whipping boy and look how its made them grow.
We need to think like a big club! We need to look at other big clubs and how they rise above their rivals! How they get our house in order. Tomorrow we must get the result. We must win the Europa to see how much work we have to do.
tbh if you are outside of the UK you have no real reason to hate spurs because you wont really get to experience the rivalry. Since I have never experienced the rivalry myself I dont really hate spurs, they are just neutral to me. I can only hate a certain club if they have a team full of W****rs or do something against my beliefs of what football should be
Hate both clubs fro manchester the most. the c***
This.
Would suck if they win because that'd be another London club to win the CL before Arsenal, but I wouldn't commit seppuku over it. I just don't understand the sheer bitterness as a foreign fan, and I never will unless I found myself living in London for an extended period of time.
The only clubs I truly hate are Barca (ingrained into me from birth) and clubs like Chelsea, City, and PSG (financial doping from blood money).
I am going to rock the boat only a few posts into my Goonersworld existence.
Anyone who considers themselves a Gooner, should have it ingrained into their DNA to hate the spuds. It doesn't matter where you live.
I am astonished that anyone that calls themselves an Arsenal fan could hate Chelski more?
That's the problem with the modern day football fan because invariably they aren't from the area that their club is based, they really don't understand what it means to support that club.
Football has lost its soul over the last 20 years. I used to enjoy watching Arsenal as a mid-table team in the 80s before GG turned up miles more than I do today. One of the worst things that has happened to the match day atmosphere is football tourists more interested in taking selfies than creating an atmosphere in the ground.
I can't for one moment deny how you felt about watching Arsenal before george graham
But personally I cannot share it
There were seasons like 82/83 when hope sprung on the signing of woodcock and chapman( chapman flopped, woodcock was unlucky to have played in an average side)
Losing at Stoke on the opening day of the season wearing our brand new green away kit( stopping in the services
Fellow gunners were looking at me wearing it perplexed) can you imagine a time now where a new kit could be so under the radar?
Losing 5-2 at home to spartak moscow( 8-4 on aggregate having been 2-0 up over there in the first leg)
Being in the old press box at white hart lane behind glass watching( but not hearing ) Spurs fans celebrate a 5-0 win
Losing both domestic cup semi finals to man Utd ( never made it to villa park. Car conked out at Swiss Cottage)
24,000 over the Arsenal
But to make out it was a cauldron of noise or unconditional loving support is a real use of the rose tinted glasses
I loved going Arsenal
But it was shit not winning things
Loved it when George took over
Loved the first 12 years of wengers reign
Listen trophys is the oxygen of this great club
That's in my DNA
3rd generation gunner with a 5 th on the way
Old Spurs dislike truly surfaced again on Wednesday
But I absolutely refuse to be defined by that
That's spursie
We are the Arsenal
Remember what you are and what you represent is the mantra
