What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

[G Ron]

So funny reading the com.ents on Udogie clearly influenced by Neville's commentary in the first half, only for once he's shut up them realise he's actually mustard

Spot on - I never felt Saka was giving him a torrid - not like he was skinning him every time he got the ball. It was a good 1v1 battle and Udogie was aggressive and did very well. Neville was spouting a load of bollock

I think it's a poke at the Nick Hornby inspired middle class prawn brigade football fan that arsenal attract, which is a particularly contrast when looking at football's working class roots.

It made me laugh when Lee Judges said Artetea/Saka should've targeted Udogie after the yellow.
They tried you wally, but Saka was in Udogie's back pocket for the 2nd half.

I think it’s just a posh/middle class jab.
A bit like the fast show sketch that I can’t be arsed to dig out a link for.

edit: I dug...

This is like half the youtube football content creators

I know eff all about xg or whatever it is and I am too old to learn it but I looked this up from the Official Premier League site -

Bar the save in the first 5 minutes, all of arsenals chances came from our own mistakes.

Are we now off to redandwhitekop.com for some more sanctimonious waffle?

'hang on, hang on, we're in here......'

fucking. glorious.

It could've been a different game if Brennan had buried that shot past Raya.

Why do fans do this?

Pointless, isn't it. He didn't even get the shot on target and if he had, Vicario may have saved it, or the ref may have disallowed it because he doesn't like Jesus, being an atheist and all.

Honestly Arsenal fans are approaching Liverpool levels of delusional.

One good season in years and the absolute drivel they talk.

Both clubs have a huge social media presence as well as lots of ex-players and fans in the media. That makes it very easy for their fans’ optimism to snowball in a sort of echo chamber. Same thing happens with Utd, whereby what their fans want to believe very quickly becomes reported as fact.

The coverage of Utd and Ten Hag shortly after they won the EFL Cup is a prime example.

It happens to some extent with Newcastle as they’re a one-club city but the rest of us are oblivious to it as it’s not happening on a national platform but rather in their local media and forums.

There's a programme about his gambling on the iPlayer which is good and he also did one for bbc4 where he went hiking on his own, talked a lot about his issues and filmed it with a camera on a selfie stick. He's a very decent bloke who is well aware of his problems, how they've affected himself and others and is good at communicating those things. Quite a contrast to the clueless, hyperbolic, clown on sky sports.

He's never come across as vindictive like a few of the commentators. He's obviously very thick. Being stupid is no defence but he's one you just laugh at. There is no underlying snideness with him like a lot of pundits.

• Sky are really trying to big up Spurs, they’ve had a decent start but they’ll aren’t all that.
• When they inevitably hit a brick wall, they'll be the first to hound the manager out.
  Ange probably needs two seasons to turn Spurs around.
• I hope Spurs win but they never do at the Tarquins. Draw best we can hope for.
• 
  Give over, no chance Spurs finish 2nd or get within 10pms.
• Watching Vicario on the ball does hammer home how good Onana is at passing.
• Spurs look a lot better than previously
• They are a very physical team now.
• Very good save by Vicario. He's been very good this season
• This Spurs team are nothing special.
• Who's this un doggie character?? Looks worse that amrabat at LB
• This Spurs team are shite. How did we lose to them?
• Strange comment. They've been considerably better than us this season, and they're playing pretty well against a title competing Arsenal side at the Emirates
• Yep, they are a lot of huff and puff, Maddison will have his usual poor run and I don’t see enough goals in the team.
• My Spurs supporting pal going mental about Son being a lazy so and so.
• Watching this Tottenham side is like watching us, so sloppy with possession with a few flashes of potential.
• Was always coming. Spurs awful, we did much better against Arsenal.
• Own goal 1-0
• Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.
• Saka trolling Maddison with that stupid dart celebration :lol:
• That Udogie is atrocious.
  Spurs should have just kept Reguilon.
• Saka's had Udogie on toast. Arsenal have dominated Spurs since the start. Think this will end up a comfortable win for them
• Spurs losing is a good result for us. City, Liverpool and Arsenal look out of our reach so far. Hopefully we can get fourth place.
• Yeah those 3 are by far the best 3 in the league
• Yes. Only 1 position up for grabs and it's between us, spurs and Newcastle
• Spurs getting dismantled.
• Spurs have equalised.
• Quite like Spurs again.
• Cracking goal. Was coming too.
• What a goal. Maddison sold Saka big time.
• Commentators sound disappointed haha
• Thats some good play from Spurs
• People have been royally underrating Spurs on here.... but that has been absolutely coming. This game could easily be 3-3.
• Deserved
• That's fantastic from Maddison. Lovely goal.
• Spuds goal has been coming
  I think there's another 3-4 goals in this
• That's actually a ridiculously good finish.
• Madison is 10 times better than Mount
• Good play by Maddison. He suits Spurs really well. Nice goal and Spurs did well to keep the pressure on after the initial cross came in.
• Great work by Maddison.
  Crazy how far behind the top teams we are.
• Udogie looks good driving forward in the Arsenal half
• Maddison's dribbling has surprised me how good it is. I knew at Leicester he was good at leading counter attacks with his ability to spin on the half turn into space but here he is dribbling out of trouble and congested areas.
• They are playing 1 game a week, already out of one cup. No European football, should be no problems keeping up the intensity.
• Spurs grew into the game. Maddison and Udogie both did very well.
• Every game that goes by makes our decision v Spurs look worse and worse
• 2-2
  This is fun
• Ahahahahaha
  feck you arteta you ****. Celebrate that
• That didn't last long :lol: Son is some player.
• Justice for Spurs.
• Maddison and Son are class together.
• Maddison is the best no.10 in the league with KDB out.
• Madisson has been such a good smart buy from spurs
• Madisson has been such a good smart buy from spurs
• Son is such an immensely likeable player.
• Over celebrate that you set of ****s
• Maddison is a brilliant player.
• Arsenal v Spurs is always briiliant. Best derby for the neutral by a country mile
• That finish by Son was brilliant
• Maddison seems fine. Good news, they need him fit for the Scouse
• fecking hell, that passage of play from spurs!!
• Spurs play good football
• Spur are playing like how I thought ETH would make us play. Sheet power and will.
• How had AP got then playing this kind of footy this quickly yet we play as we do under ETH?
• Let's see Spurs win some trophies first yes before you completely empty your ballsack. There are 8 months left of the season.
• Spurs midfielders are very brave with the balls. That's why they are able to play through the press and create chances.
• 
  I can only dream of seeing that here
• Today evidences why I wanted Ange Postecoglu instead of Pochettinho.
  Absolute shambles whilst Spurs are fearless away to Arsenal.
  Was ridiculed on here too for it. (Chelsea fan)
• Battle of the legends
• I feel like this should become the new official title of this derby.
• Bissouma just destroyed Havertz
• Bissouma has the potential to be world class. Outstanding today
• 
  Nah it was Conte ball.
• Conte should go to jail for what he did at Spurs.
• Bissouma has been MOTM
• Bissouma's in his peak Frenkie De Jong era
• 
  Back to his best.
• Bissouma is ridiculously good
• 
  Spurs closed them down well and didn't let them play their game. Spurs should have won it.
• Good game. Bissouma was impressive. Thought the game lacked something once Son and Maddison went off, but Arsenal didn't have enough to go for the win. 2-2 is a very fair result.
• Proper manager in charge and Spurs poor recruitment suddenly looks like a bunch of smart pickups, Ven Udogie Bissouma Maddison Vicario looking good
• 
  I don’t know… he seems an excellent manager to me though. He’s doing a great job with this Kane-less Spurs. They look a better team than they have for a long time.
• Spurs bench options are terrible, no real creative player once Maddison goes off. And Richarlison 60mil :lol:
  Soloman is average, Hojbjerg and Skip run of the mill midfield destroyers that you would find anywhere
• There's a massive drop off when you look beyond Son and Maddison in the creative positions. You can pretty much guarantee that Spurs will be looking for more players in these areas in the next window. A major injury or loss of form to either Son or Maddison and suddenly it all falls apart for them.

This is one of my favourite threads (in particular when Spurs are doing well like now)... huge credit to you @Jgplk1 for making the thread what it is.

@Jgplk1 should get his own blue background for this thread

100% posted exactly this before our match with them, the arrogance expecting to roll us over, they clearly know f all about us or any other team and have delusions grandeur from their first good season in years.

To be honest Liverpool are far more clinical than Arsenal, so we do have to be switched on. But we'll worry about that on Saturday. For now enjoy the week and proving the doubters wrong (including myself regarding Arsenal away).

They are but there also far more porous at the back. Both wolves and West Ham could have battered them on another day. Even Newcastle really should have beaten them.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Aren't Tarquins the posh boys, the public schoolboys boys from Islington. So, a kind of rebuff to the Arsenal ultras or whatever silliness they call themselves?

Someone else mentioned, that there were 50 fans in all black, Tell me it's not really a thing? LOL
