SiJ Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Arsenal's aim this season should be to try and be the best of the rest. Got no chance of top 4, but if they can finish say 5th or 6th then that would represent a very good season for them. They're not in Europe, so that should work in their favour over the likes of Leicester and West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing about on the touch line,arms flailing all over the place and screaming instructions at his players when they’re 3-0 up. All seems a bit, look at me when they are winning. Not the usual slumped in his seat, looking puzzled, when things aren’t going so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, needs to enjoy it whilst it lasts because always a new Arsenal crisis just round the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll probably lose at Brighton again at the weekend Football fans are becoming more and more fickle after just one result.

alanharper Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Any "derby" named after a road is a really tinpot rivalry. Clearly 2 teams who nobody else cares about travelling miles to find the nearest other team that nobody cares about going "Do you want to be our rivals?". "Yeah alright then. Oh, we hate you". "We hate you more". "Gosh we have such a fierce rivalry now. What shall we call it?". "Dunno, what about that 60 mile long road between us". .

SiJ Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 You know a rivalry is good when the broadcaster has to explain why they hate each other. Isn't it to do with Alan Mullery once calling Brighton a nasty name or something? It's very fake and phoney, but then it involves Brighton who come across to me as one of the fakest, most plastic clubs in the country. I might be in the minority here, but I can't also get on board with this Palace ultra thing. I know they're noisy and what not, but this wasn't a thing in the Champ, was it? Just smacks of something that they've teams from abroad do and decided to copy it. Not very organic. Perhaps I'm being harsh to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid rivalry but I remember finding the story interesting. Agree with you on the Palace thing, but on the other hand, at least they are enjoying themselves.

It's the kinda thing that gets lauded in the PL, how it shows so much passion etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
