As I have often said, I dont do social media (facebook, twitter) much cos it can sometimes wind me right up, but lately I have been looking at it more often and I swear to god the shite that is on it would have the sanest person reaching for the shotgun :roll: It is one thing defending the inept cone boy and captain invisible (the two hot topics lately), but the manner in which they are doing it is beyond cringy, and it has to be said that most of the defenders seem to be african or from asia and that cant be a coincidence ? I know it might seem ironic me saying this cos I am Irish (therefore technically a foreigner too), but do these "fans" live for AFC as much as someone who has AFC running through their veins like most of us do ? It's not that this is a racist rant or anything, but I get seriously fcuked off reading crap from people telling us that we should fcuk off and support someone else, when I'm thinking that they probably did support someone else up to five years ago :roll: These people have a platform on social media and are using it to defend legohead on absolutely everything, and deflect the blame on the board, referee's, etc etc, and some are going so far as to proclaim him as the best manager in the premier league in the past 3 seasons (I shit you not) despite winning ZERO trophies :oops: :oops: Fans of other clubs are reading this nonsense and taking the piss out of us about how deluded Gooners are - I'm embarrassed by at all and lose the rag and it takes all of my willpower not to tell them to fcuk off and support orlando pirates or some shit club like that :cussing: :cussing:
Don't read it. I don't. But also it's not just African and Asian fans, we have plenty of English and Irish fans that are complete fucking mongs too.

I think that the problem is that the ones on twatter etc they are not really Arsenal supporters but more just bandwagon jumpers living with FOMO and have to be seen to be involved. I've seen tag lines on cùnts accounts saying they are "die hard Arsenal and Barcelona fans" which says to me they have a favourite club in probably every league. I clearly remember seeing one cùnt on twatter years ago that described himself as "die hard Arsenal and I love Chelsea too". (He was African). Fucking minge. :censored: :oops:

He has now completed his transmogrification and gone full mk II. :roll: :censored:

He is now the living embodiment of latter era Arsene Wenger. :|

And I guaranfuckingtee you we have at least one, maybe three, years of this egotistical fucking little spacker still ahead of us, because despite the fact that Wiggy Raccoon Head gave him 800 million to piss up the wall, the Kroenke's will fail as owners and leaders exactly where they failed with mk I - not knowing when, nor having the balls, to sack the fucking failing manager! :banghead:

As much as I blame the Kroenke's for not sacking this geebag, that does not exclude the geebag from my wrath. :censored:

He took a decent team that needed really only a couple of top signings two years ago, and he turned them into Wengerball 2.0 in a third of the time it took mk I to turn one of the best teams in the history of the game into a pack of inward gazing weak little piss boys that played tippy tappy to repeatedly struggle to a one nil defeat or - God alordy above speakah onah tha mountainah - a magnificent nil all draw against the likes of Lying Phil Brown's fucking turgid Hull City side. :oops: :roll:

I look at Ohdeargod and I see Circle Dribbler Hleb in his pomp with ten touches, a sashay to the right, a swoop to the left, another five touches, a nice little spin in a circle for effect..... and a pass ten yards back to the CH. Over and over again. :roll:

I look at ENGLISH fucking Deckers (you are welcome to him SteveO mate! :lol: :wink: ) and I see Arteta himself, a "solid" enough player on his day, but never a game changer, never the midfield general that goes and grabs you a win like Paddy or the chav rat Fabregas did in their peak days.

I look at Fateem Girling and I see.... well, I just see a girlfriend bashing fat useless little cùnt stealing a living tbh. :censored: :censored:

No point going through them all. You get the picture.

But possibly worst of all (in a PTSD flashback kind of way), the delusional little Lego piece is now talking utter convoluted horseshit all the time - just like Wenger did. :roll:

Speaking of delusional cùnts, where's that walking talking head injury Mad Marty Wilson 2.fuckingO? :box: :wink:
This post made me chuckle on a number of levels mate - memories of Hleb...the man who could beat himself 3 times in the same move and end up back in his own half. Old Daddy Daycare Odegaard is definitely doing his best Mister Twirly impression, coupled with all the leadership credentials that Gallas and Almunia showed when they wore the armband under There's Only One.

What else can be said about Sterling. We signed some well and truly laughable c.unts under Shit for Brains but this invisible handbag wearing little helmet has somehow managed to upstage them all

You can't blame English Deckers for choosing England mate - I wouldn't pay the 50 quid for the flight every time Oireland came calling either!

The only good thing that has come from Legohead morphing into There's Only One Part II is the "good old day" memories that have come flooding back from this place. Just missing my old mate HostGator and the time machine has worked its magic

Ah yes, but to have it feeling REALLY like the dark old days under the Old Fraud, DB needs to email an apology to Red Member and invite him back on to the forum.

His insights into our current mess would have this place in furious meltdown in no time. Add a splash of Highbury JD and Babatunde and it would truly be the good old days.

:barscarf: :barscarf:
I couldn't agree more my old friend. Hopefully DB10 is softening in his old age, and not just between his legs, because he went full blown Scary Irish Man and banned way too many legends. I do wonder what Red would be saying now. Probably got a picture of Sterling on his wall and wanting Kiwior in as captain. We can easily find Highbury JD hanging out around Islington Town Hall with Louis Dunford, and i think McDowell still goes on scouting missions to the deepest corners of France trying to identify new talent with his pal Baba. Wengers Hat was taken way too soon too

Come on DB10 you old softie - no need to keep up the old scary image. We know it's where you make them anyway :D

Arne Slot is about to win the title with Liverpool in his first season in English football, while we struggle to beat a shit United team with 'phase 4' Arteta.

But Mad Marty Wilson 2.0 said there was NO ONE good enough to replace Arteta. He said Arteta is an ELITE coach, the bestest in he WORLD.

Are you saying he was talking out his hole? :rubchin:

Arteta is just embarrassing.
Let’s face it Saka has propped him up his entire managerial career. If he had got injured at any point in the past 5 years exactly the same thing would have happened as this season

Stormed out of a post match interview, cos he got asked the question about a striker,the whole world and it's dog knew we need a striker, any opposition fans i meet all say to me ,if ye had a striker you'd be definitely fighting for the league.

Expecting another couple of left backs to be bought again in the summer.

I'd suggest him and win the dog need to be fucked out of the club.

It's not the dog's fault . If Sterling took him for a few walks he might lose a bit of weight.

Even at a slow pace he couldn't keep up with the Dog.
