As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Surely you know he ain’t gonna coat him off? What do you think he’d say -
“Yeah, all of us think he’s shit but who else have we got?”
Yeah I know. But no need to be so effusive and say the real fans in the stadium vs social media.Anyone with a incompetent team mate be it sport or work undermining everything the team does detests them and wants them to buck up or f off.
In fairness to rice he was answering questions about a team mate who's partner had been sent vile threats against there unborn baby. Fuck him missing a goal. That is out of order.
Declan was right...no arsenal fan would say what was said. The question was loaded...yes, but lets be honest any platform supporting that vile should be shut down
Agree to a certain extent and of course the abuse is out of order but as dB and others said so is using it as an excuse like xhaka did, sadly they get horrific abuse whatever happens however they perform, easy way is not look at toxic social media.
But just seemed a unnecessary dig from deccers and to me suggested a worrying disconnect from the players to the fan base. Those in the ground are mostly tourists. I retain 2 STs and those around mostly share the views held here. Some don't.
Anyway I just didn't like that dig
How was it a dig? Rice is very clever with his words. He want's the fans in the stadium to be onside, so he's going to say something like that isn't he?
And you talk about football tourists, I sit in the North Lower and sometimes in the Clock End Upper. The people who frequent the immediate vicinity are and have been long standing season ticket holders and followed the club for decades. The football tourists usually end up in Club Level, because those tickets are the most accessible, just look at the seat availability through ticket exchange for the Man Utd game last weekend. Nothing in the upper or lower tier, loads in Club Level.
The ballots have by an large flushed out a lot of football tourists.
Welcome back!
US Wilson next...
Disagree still seems to be massively of tourists ime

When was the last time you went to the bowl? Seems to me you spend most matches moaning on here?

Haven't in an age, Leicester I think, but those who have my STs i trust in judgement and many others I know who have them who
I now expect blah blah first hand experience, and go full on Highbury JD on me. And I can then claim my 5 pounds.
I've had all kinds up for those fannies over the years
