The enigma that is Arsenal
 

I have said for a long time now that when Arsenal are on song they are by far one of the best teams in the world to watch, its just a pity you never know which Arsenal is going to turn up. I watched Highlights of their game with the Hammers last night and between 47 and 57 minutes played the most scintillating football I've seen for a long time, they were unstoppable scoring 4 goals with fast attacking football, if only all their football was like that

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

Agree there Jay - they can be absolutely fantastic, but when other teams have a bit more savvy and get in their face - just like the Arsenal "Invicibles" used to do to opponents, they tend crumble very easily.

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

That season when they went right though without losing a game, they put in some breath taking performances, personally I don't think any team will ever do that again, well it took over 100 years since Preston first did it for it to be done again

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

I still love watching Arsenal though,yet detest watching United. That was never the case way back.

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

Same here cashy last Sunday I had a choice Chelski v Arsenal or Spurs v Plastics guess which I watched:rolleyes:

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

Just a pair of bigots tarred with the same brush - how about posting positives (if there are any), about the team (plural in Jays case) that you support.
Will think of you tomorrow while eating my prawn sandwiches at the Theatre of Dreams:p:D

Barrie if you want me to ask Joan for the best ways to get to scum palace, PM me and I'll ask her, its surprising how many plastic mancs dipping their toe in the water end up lost trying to find the ground:):):p

I didn't know Hobbits were Manky U fans ! :eek: Sneaky little gits ! And there's me quite liking them (the Hobbits that is). :D

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

I know my way there OK Jay and to the Cricket Ground where I parked the car, been there quite a few times, possibly more than you ever went to Anfield.
As for a freebie - no, it cost me £25.50 for my ticket and £10 car parking - oh and £3.60 for a pint of Boddingtons - a Manchester brew I think. Of course Deadwood doesn't believe in supporting a local brewery:rolleyes:
I wasd not surprised to mix amongst a cosmopolitan crowd, none did I see eating prawn sandwiches - plenty of Holland's Pies though - quite a cross section of the North West populace - the accents are easy to detect.
Once again, nothing about your teams - just you and Cashy spouting your ridiculous bigoted crap.
Only a couple of years to go and you could be opposition supporters when Deadwood becomes a 2nd Division team as Rovers pass through - will have to be 2nd Division as Stanley don't look as though they can get up at the end of this season but the Deadwood gang could well be on the slippery slope to non-league status :p:D

P.S. Jay - your dyslexia is getting worse:rolleyes:

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

Hell you sure know how to waste money you could have used your usual chair in the pub had a lash up and still have been quids in:D seventy odd thousand there last night and there was more life in a tramps vest

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal

......And if the mods on here decide to ban me,it wont bother me in the least i will just rejoin on another isp address and name I AINT GOING AWAY SO GET USED TO IT

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

Was also a tad confused at first, but due to my powers of deduction, sleuthery & having to watch endless mind numbing repeats of Miss Marple, Poirot, Parsley & Thyme et al (Wifes choice) I surmise the original post 15 had been removed & Jays Manky bashing fell into its place.

Lemonentry my dear Watson ! :D

Bye Bye

Spot on sherlock.:D

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

That is a bit strong Cashy - Jay was quite calm - for him. Leave the chap alone:rolleyes::D

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

Jay - the next game for when tickets are available is the Reading league match. No information on the Reading Cup tickets yet - not like Deadwood when you can turn up on the day - Old Trafford, where you can get Lancashire beer and Hollands pies - and
70,000+ want to be at every match

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

With a small percentage from Manchester,plus 60.000 or so Glory Hunters.:D

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

Real Mancunians support City, think United would have been better taking the Olympic stadium as most of their fans are based south of Watford;)

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

With the weather as it was on Saturday I doubt that the majority of the attendees travelled that far. Certainly I didn't hear any Southern accents were we were.:rolleyes:

Re: The enigma that is Arsenal
 

Maybe you were paying to much attention to the prawn butties and dry martini's Barrie;)
