THE WENGER THREAD

[SteveO 35]

Hey...we've made the 100 pages ! Where's HighburyJD's special 100 things I love about Arsene tribute?

He will be on later his mouth is full at the min

Not to mention jerking off over the prospect of another humdinger in Greece - who'd have thought it would be a meaningless game in December eh? Zzzzzzzzz

Still - another flag to put in the map. Much more exciting to become the Judith Chalmers of Arsenal by waxing lyrical about a day trip to Greece rather than playing in a final at Wembley

JD goes away?

Remember though - everyone apart from the 1000 or so that travel out there will all want us to lose and are not proper fans. You're only a real fan when you can stand in a bar and say "did you go to Donetsk eh? Did ya? Did ya?" and "remember that midweek away game in the League Cup to Doncaster Rovers in 1986....not there? Pah - never show your face again"

I once worked with a bloke who was a Hull City fan that hadn't missed a game home or away for something like 12 years and cut short a holiday abroad because his beloved Hull arranged a pre-season friendly against some no-hopers late in the day and he couldn't bear to miss it. Funny enough when he chose to trip out this story on 'social occasions' (for him a half an hour lunch break when not discussing IT and gadgets) most other people tended to find the stories that started with "I remember this midweek game at Hereford....." somewhat less amusing than he did. Funny how 'superfans' perceptions of themselves are not quite as sharp as their witty tales

JD, I'm interested to know when you started going to away games. What season? What age were you? Were you married/are you married, type of job?

And a few more from me if you don't mind JD - do you work in an IT department, like Star Trek, never miss an episode of Top Gear (apart from whilst touring Europe of course) and would the ladies describe you as "really sweet and a lovely friend to have"

[highburyJD]

Just to clarify that JD, it has only ever been an absolute minority that have said on here they would want Arsenal to lose for whatever reason. If you could name 5 members that have said that I'd be amazed.

I'm sure you're right and its pretty rare (can't be bothered to thread trawl)
but there has been more than one poster saying they want us out of the CL,
I understand the argument: it's unwinnable and we're better off focusing on other trophies,
I disagree and made a pretty obvious statement,
that those people - who want us out of the CL so we can focus on other trophies
are not the people who travel to Euro away games
it's a simple (and uncontroversial) concept

why, if you want us out, would you travel??

for the record that statement doesn't involve a defence of: abandoning the original cup format, Ceaucescu picking the refs in Bucharest, dead rubbers, 2nd group stages, Valence lying down for Marseille, John Terry's stud length or Buffon being off his line during shootouts. It does not suggest awayday citizienship tests or claim that there is an elite group of superfans who should be assigned capes.

now I'll give poor part-timer steveO the special focus he craves.
Yes steveee, I know your hands been up for a while.
you shouldn't feel guilty about being unable to attend - maybe you havent made enough money, or your wife rules with a rod of iron, maybe you can't find your passport, or your in jail, I don't care
your sad projected concept of what away days are, seems based on your school trips
a weird little passive-aggressive fantasy - don't be a hater
I'm sure one day you'll get to go
look forward to it, don't talk it down, it will be a lot of fun

in the meantime sweetie, don't throw rocks at the little girl you fancy

Laughable - are you Baba in disguise?

Probably not, given that the line in insults is only 10% as witty or original

[highburyJD]

classic, I'm like Baba?
reread what you've posted princess
would you like me to apologise for weird homo-erotic fellatio and masturbation gags

can't understand why homosexuality is considered the worst insult
more passive-aggressive stuff stevie?
guilty about wishing you could spend more time in the company of men

oh no, you posted those

I think the content of that post confirms my worst fears. Lets leave it there before you really do complete the transformation into Baba. You might get yourself banned and then you'll need to find a new site to thrill everyone with your tales of European travel

Send us a postcard from Malaga, will you Judith

[highburyJD]

OK part-timer

Where the fcuk is that popcorn emoticon ?

Where the fcuk is that popcorn emoticon ?

Only superfans have access to it. I tried looking for it but I've only got 'part timer' emotions displaying

Perhaps if I'm ever lucky enough to be a proper fan like HighburyJD then I'll be able to find it

[highburyJD]

poor stevee
no away match credits, no emoticons

still bitter 20 years later?
cant forget crying alone at the back of the travel club coach

did the big boys bully you?
try and get over it, dont be a hater part-time Stevie

We used to be such friends too Baba. What's happened to you mate?

[highburyJD]

I know you and Babs shared an interest in homophobia based insults
was there more too it than that?

Well Baba wanted a bit more than I could offer - he was way too serious, wanted to go on trips abroad together...that kind of thing, but I could only offer him a 'part time' commitment. So it all ended there sadly

[highburyJD]

Baba was full-time Sperz
seems like you're nothing
