matgerado Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Liverpool obviously for me. Grew up there and my first schooling as well. 29 years later, and i'm still supporting it. It's never over, we go again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabashcr Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Sorry to revive an old thread, but found this while searching on Premier League, thinking there might be a thread dedicated to the current season. In any event, I'm a big fan of The Arsenal. My father spent some time in London in the 70s, and had such fond memories of going to Arsenal, so growing up, although it was never on tv, he always talked about his love of The Arsenal. We started getting semi-regular Premier League matches in the US around the time of the Invincibles, at the height of Arsenal/Utd, Wenger/SAF, Vieira/Keane, etc. So the channel that showed the matches would show a lot of Arsenal. I grew up playing, and even played for a couple years in college. So I naturally gravitated toward Arsenal. Now we get every single PL match on tv in the US, and I never miss Arsenal. I have no problem waking up for a 7am kickoff, and with twitter and the internet, it's nothing to follow a team halfway around the globe these days.

Mr Cholmondley Warner Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 West Ham supporter here. Born in Dagenham, dad worked for Dagenham Motors (Ford foundry) so it's in the blood. A bit hard to be a loyal fan from Brisbane though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It was not the superior colour on Sunday. Go Gunners!! agreed. was way too easy. that is pretty much it for the season for man dollars. the only tiny tiny reservation i had about it was, as important as the three points were for us, hate seeing chelski get further ahead. would rather man dollars win the thing than them. mind you, seeing man spew scraping home with 0-0 against third level cambridge is nearly as much fun that said, not as good as their 4-0 thumping by the milton keynes under 8's but still good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on that point, but if we can do Chelsea in April at the Emirates, it'll be a wash. Nice to see Wenger finally set his team up to have a chance against top quality. It may not be the pretty, flowing stuff we've come to expect at Arsenal, but the rest of the footballing world have figured out that style without substance doesn't win silverware. Arsenal will never be a park the bus side, but if they commit to defending, they'll always have the quality in midfield and attack to score goals. Hopefully they found something at City, and that was our season started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See we're in for Gabriel Paulista, hope he works out better than the last Brazilian defender panic buy Andre Santos. Wonder if Paulista can play defensive midfield. I don't think the 17 year old Polish DM he just bought will help much anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be a good sign. As you've said before, when I see him appear in an Arsenal shirt, I'll get excited. We have plenty of recent form when it comes to near misses on big transfers (Higuain, Hazard, Mata, Di Maria, Suarez, Yaya Toure, Demba Ba all come to mind). Hope this one's different. Sign him up and get him in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabashcr Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well I feel a lot less impressed about the win at City last week. City dumped out of the cup at home to Boro. Unbelievable. Not the strongest City side, but still plenty of big names in that squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tears shed watching Chelsea turned over by mighty Bradford City. What a thrill it must have been for Bradford supporters who threw a tenner at 30-1. Of course we have form going out of a cup competition to Bradford ourselves. At least we managed to take them to penalties before falling in the league cup.
