Must just follow the college game. :wink:
i watch a little nfl but i follow the college game much more closely. college football is a lot more fun to follow than nfl. the crowd atmosphere is much better as well.

as big of an Oklahoma Sooners fan as i am though i am a bigger Arsenal fan. Arsenal results pretty much decide how my week goes...yep, all sanity has been lost

can someone explain to me what a jcl is by the way?
Johnny Come Lately. The technical term for glory hunting scumbags that come from the woodwork when a team is being successful, claiming to have supported the team all their lives but have no knowledge past the glory days.

Am I right in thinking Petersen came from Oklahoma college? Drop the ball a lot back then too did he? :wink: :lol: 8)

ah ok gotcha. well, as i said Arsenal haven't won anything since i started following so i wouldn't call myself a "jcl". if we got relegated i'd still be here. you wouldn't believe how many utd jcl's there are in the states. i call utd "america's team". there are sooooo many fake utd fans here.

yes, perterson went to OU. he had some fumble issues back then too...of course, he used to run people the f over as well.

texas sucks. boomer sooner
Don't know what boomer sooner means (I skimmed the wiki definition someone cut and pasted on this page), but Texans generally suck. Of all the septics I've met, Texans have been the rudest (and generally the widest) :barscarf: :barscarf:
technically when used together "boomer sooner" doesn't really mean anything. its just a chant we do.

as for texans...there is a big rivalry between the states of Oklahoma and texas. they are arrogant pricks.


i will try to find "rebels for the cause". thanks for the recomendation goonersid.


Thats what we think of people from Oklahoma, bunch of cow fuckers :wink: :wink: :lol:.

The rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma is just as big as us against sp*rs. Atmosphere is amazing when they play eachother :evil:

There is another fans forum called bigsoccer.com that also caters for Arsenal fans mainly from the US.



p.s. In my opinion a JCL is someone that joins the party late when everyone is enjoying themselves and tries to get things changed to what they want. Everyone has to start supportiing at some time so as long as a new fan respects the tradtions both on and off the field they'll get along just fine.

If they want to change it . . . . they can fuck off . . . a bit like our board really.
