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.
Louder i think Boomer sums it up right, i dont know what youre like at a match but im a nervous wreck, i scream, shout and swear. When Bendtner misses a chance im swearing and calling him useless and when he scored 5 minutes later in the euphoria i think he is the best striker in the history of Arsenal. Now Bendtner cant hear me and if he did im sure he wouldnt give a shit what i thought of him good or bad. Louder if you can remain calm throughout a game then good on you but many like me cant doesnt make you less of a fan
Of course not....you're at home!
smart arse
anyway thats my whole point if youre in the ground or at home typing into the forum the passion is the same, does it make you fickle? in the true definition maybe it does but you cant define passion or football fans in general.
It’s not about less passion it’s about the emotion of being there especially when we loose or if you’ve been to a shit part of the UK like Wigan. Its different feeling watching on TV seeing us loose than it is going. I have passion when watching on tv too but it definitely doesn’t feel as bad.
This is the first time I have had a season ticket for over ten years, previous to that I went to crap away games and as many red member games as I could. I have never been such an angry arsenal fan, before I was much more positive and laid back.

Sorry mate i dont agree. Im no more passionate at the Grove as i am watching on TV. I used to go away years ago and although it made the journey home easier if we won i didnt feel worse or better than if i hadnt gone at all.....Im a nervous wreck during games and much to the displeasure of Mrs.Flash (who has very little interest in football) i scream and jump around when we score or punch the floor when we concede. As many have commented to Louder it doesnt make you less of a fan to be calm and composed at home or in the ground but it works equally the other way too

Sorry Mikey but I agree with Flash.
Emotion and passion are separate things but are yet connected. You could actually say that passion is an emotion.
I, like flash, get really nervous watch Arsenal. Nothing serious but I can be quite tense and the hearts racing.
Yet when you're at the Grove I do feel the emotion (not passion) is greatly enhanced due to the experience(s) of being there.
But I can be as equally as passionate at home as I am when at the grove when Arsenal conceded or score!
Whether its kicking the seat in front or the Cat by my feet to punching the air with joy or putting a hole in the ceiling!

I always feel it's easier to accept a defeat when I have been to the game, it's like it seems more real, and that I haven't been lied to by television.

I know your as passionate I am not saying your not mate. My point was over the last few seasons I have taken us loosing matches bad, but nowhere near as bad as I do this season.
I guess some of it is that once you pay for the season ticket you REALLY REALLY want more as that kind of money to me is like winning the lottery. I went without big time to pay for it and the mrs was not happy at all. But now ive done it once I will have to keep doing as it grabs you and you cant let go no matter how fucking annoyed you get with Wenger and Denilson.
Imagine getting in trouble with your Mrs for buying a season ticket, spending money that is needed else where and the stress you would get in doing so. Then go every home match this season and most Away days as at this point your addicted again. All the moans you get when your home for not having money, going out every weekend and not wanting to go on holiday as you would miss a match. Then you loose to fucking Newcastle maybe blowing away the chance to win the league and its only November. Your drunk on the way home in a poor mood knowing by the time you get home your going to have a hangover and a fucking pissed off mrs.
Is it as bad watching from the sofa? I know you’ve been there before flash!
Not sure if im explaining myself well enough......Mikey im not knocking you, Louder, Boomer or anyone. Everyone is different but no one is less of an Arsenal fan thats what im getting at. When i went home and away virtually every week (the days have having much more expendable cash ) i would be absolutely gutted when we lost but i get that same feeling now if im watching at home. In the same way i explained how i scream at Bendtner when he misses a sitter and in euphoria of scoring think he is the best player in Arsenal history when he scores, im the same at home or at the Grove. Thats me and might not be you but youre not less of a Gooner because of it and neither is anyone else

As I said in my last post this the difference between emotion and passion.
We're all equally as passionate.
But you can't be passionate about losing.....can you!?

Louder you can knock as he is just a wum!
I am not a better fan than anyone. I just feel that the emotion of a win or loss is magnified if your at the match. If you still get that at a game or at home then thats fucking great for you, saves a few quid and saves hassle from the Mrs!!!

Thanks for the rules. I'll be sure to remember that when I'm at the Fulham match, I'll be allowed to "air a bit of frsutration" but that it's strictly forbidden this weekend because I'll only be watching it on the box.
And I'll also remember in future that if I stick up for Diaby and Almunia (who I've always stood up for) then that makes me fickle.....and if I criticise Vela or Fabianski (who I have always criticised) that makes me fickle too.
The Louder Rulebook - available in all good primary schools
Mate the guy is a twat!
He is the kind of fan that stops at the end of the bridge just so he can look at the big Arsenal mural and causes traffic of fans.
He goes to 1 or 2 games in a season that is easy to get a ticket for. He buys his programme, hot dog, coke and gets in his seat early so he can take pictures. He smiles of the site of watching the pitch caretakers sprinkle water and patiently waits for 1 hour so he can watch Bendtner and denilson warm up. He gets his camera out and franticly takes pictures and asks some Chinese tourists to take a picture of him at his seat. They all laugh together and get in all sorts of poses so he can post his day out on face book. As time goes on he sees Wenger walk onto the pitch to talk to some of the players as they warm up. He jumps up and down and screams “only 1 wenger only 1 wengerâ€
I say hats off to Mikey.....he's produced a Louder response without the use of the words good or fickle
We might even progress to the creation of a meaningful thread or insightful debate (a challenge put to the boy himself after his first 70 posts........and in the words of Diana Ross...."and I'm still waiting")
