The enigma that is Arsenal

jaysay · 24-01-2013, 08:49

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

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.

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

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

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

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.S. Jay - your dyslexia is getting worse
