ccc) i give up this site is so full of the slime that infest Arsenal that im better off trying to educate a pork chop !
Amazing
I'm being educated by someone who's asked a fellow poster if he's ever 'herd' of irony. I've certainly never 'herd' of irony, but I have 'heard' of irony before.
hornby is not a hardcore Arsenal fan hes a jonny come lately
who had never been to an away match prior to fever pitch .
When he could of gone to anfailed away 26th may 1989 he didnt !
I personally think he probably was an Arsenal fan in the days when it wasn't fashionable. It's not his fault a bunch of other 'Tarquins' and 'Harriots' needed a book like Fever Pitch in order to stop seeing football fans as sub-human scum.
And Anfield '89 was on a Friday evening, I bet a lot of people wouldn't have been able to get time off of work to get up there.
And many of those who did were stuck in traffic, hence the reason why the game was delayed by 15 minutes, through fears of a repeat of what happened in South Yorks a month earlier.
He stopped going during his uni years to watch cambridge !
I thought you, oh educated one would have known how cash strapped one gets in their uni days. Certainly not enough dosh to pop down to London on a frequent basis. And the fact that he popped down to watch some lower league action, shows to me that he had some interest in the game itself. If I can recall I don't think Cambridge were in a position to threaten Arsenal in the 70s or 80s or whenever Horby was an undergraduate.
I have asthma so what its outdoors,delicate flower !
People have always drunk at football ,if u dont like it leave
Oh educated one, sort your punctuation out. The above should read 'I have asthma, so what it's outdoors delicate flower!'.
So what it's outdoors? Now if this was standing on a terrace where people can move away from you I'd have some sympathy. As we're forced to sit next to someone like you for 90 mins, we cannot escape the plumes of smoke belching from you.
Are you so fucking ignorant and inconsiderate that you cannot see that not everyone else wants to breathe in your shit and have their clothes smelling of your fags.
And as for drinking at Football games, if you're as authentic and old skool a footie fan as you claim you'll know of the 1980 Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Rangers, it's violent aftermath and the empty bottles left on the pitch afterwards, from fans bringing in crates of the stuff with them.
I know most fans can drink and behave themselves but there are a significant minority who can't. I think it's a good thing that something breaks up what would be probably five hours of continuous drinking. Most start their pre-match drinking at around 1-1.30pm and make way to the stadium at around 2.30pm, by which time they are buzzed but not steeming, this is how it should be.
And also, if people could buy their drinks at the bar and bring it to the seat, that would give the idiots another reason to get up during the game and block my view. Not in excitement at what's going on on the pitch but to stick more down their bloated fat greedy guts.
Personally I suspect this poster isn't for real. I reckon he's bookanengineer acting clandestinely, trying to create some barely literate, boorish, thick Joe pre-90 from 'when cave man ruled the terraces' in vengence after his torrid anal hammering on his 'It's not the 80s anymore' thread.
