A couple of interesting observations from the Arsenal game yesterday.


Firstly, the Bendtner goal. It was a nice touch that after all the shite he got for miss kicking what was a very difficult volley, on the full, he not only smiled about it but got the chance to have a bit of banter back with the Hudd fans after scoring.


Secondly, what a dive! If that had of been a United player certain people on this forum would have been shooting steam out of their ears and bashing their keyboard until their fingers bled.


Thirdly, that penalty run up. I'm sure there were also certain people on here who savaged Ronaldo for similar tactics with a stuttering (and possibly illegal) run-up.

Like I said before far too sensitive bordering on paranoia. I watched the fake Ronaldo and his multi millionaire buddies at Real Madrid get beaten by Osasuna last evening. And surprise surprie, because things didn't go his way, the failing arms, the rolling eyes and looks to heaven were the order of the day. Same old Chrissy boy.

Sandperson, have you ever stopped to think why people make comments about Man Ure and penalties. The alarmingly regularity with which they are either given penalties or appeals from lesser clubs are waved away, and the fact they are inexorably linked with favourable decisions, may colour such comments. Or do we ALL just make it up as we go? Jeez

Even more boring that they meet in Cup finals too. As SCSB79 pointed out, go back back to having a larger league and meeting twice a season.

Ah, Man Ure. One of my favourite of your clever little word plays. It's like Stephen Fry is on the forum. I didn't mention the regularity of penalties I mentioned the cheating of one of your players and the fact that the penalty taker took a stuttering run-up, as you would have done had the roles been reversed. Same old Arsenal....

As far as cheating is concerned, Man Ure are masters at it as we all know, as far as I'm concerned it was a legit pen, which is more than be said of those your shower are awarded. Now let it lie.

You're as bad as each other, don't try and take the higher ground. Yes Emerson / Atila is guilty of (massively) overreacting to any criticism of Arsenal, but you in particular SP, just can't sit on your hands, you always have to respond, and frankly it just makes this thread unenjoyable.


Anna didn't use it for a good while, I didn't use it for the vast majority of last season, Red Devil seems to have gone, several others hardly use it, and Quids has now gone for a while at least, and I suspect this thread had at least some part to play in that.


I'm not having a go at either of you as people, I don't know you. But please, for the love of all that is good and holy in this world, stop with the same old shite!

Secondly, what a dive! If that had of been a United player certain people on this forum would have been shooting steam out of their ears and bashing their keyboard until their fingers bled.


Same old sad paranoid, put upon, nobody likes us, the worlds against us, Sanperson.

I hear you Keef but Atila digs at everyone, especially if you support Man Utd or Spurs. If there were any Chelsea fans on here they'd be a target too as they are the three clubs he hates the most. Basically he's a cunt and the main reason people don't post on here anymore and why I am also seriously thinking of quitting too. He was supposed to be banned and as far as I can see he still hasn't learnt his lesson.

I know Jah, I'm not saying it's just between Atila and SP, but SP does seem to get off on winding him up further, then acting all wounded.


I have defended Atila before, and I'm not doing that now. When he came back, I thought he was making an effort to play nice, but that has gone out of the window. I am not putting SP in the same category, but if I was as volatile as Atila, SP would have me spitting deathers too.


Anyway, that's all from me.


Anything interesting happening in the transfer market (too many people hanging around for me to look at the BBC website).

They are not as bad as each other. Emerson/Atila is the clear troll who constantly uses antagonistic posts.


Your suggestion is that people sit on their hands? From what I see most of the time people don't respond but sometimes react to the bait or dare mention something about Arsenal. The solution is not to for people sit on their hands, (too many are doing that already by not contributing to the thread) or to criticise people for occasionally responding to Emerson's bait. The solution is to ban Emerson.

    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉 
    • Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL. 
    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was. 
    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.
