Canny Liverpool show why Arsenal are football's biggest snobs

 

The best teams take on all comers no matter what style they play and come out on top. The pups often complain while the top dogs just get on with things!

Yet again a rubbish article from a rubbish site by someone who hasn't got a clue about football and has probably never played the game.

What a ridiculous article,now that arsenal are losing they are whinging?we have lost 2 games in the league this season u idiot so since when have we been losing ,and yes liverpool have played defensively against us so far and have had the rub of the green on the decisions this is a fact, and yes we do play attractive football compared to the pool ,and yes it is also a fact that we had up to 65% of the ball in the 1st CL game when liverpool parked a bus in there penalty box but we could not score, but all that is commended by fools like u who praise mediocre footballers and knock the talented ones. this is why the english team will never win anything. And one further point i dont forsee the pool playing 11 men behind the ball on tue but i dont expect them to be all attack either, they will play 10 behind the play and try to catch the arsenal on the break.

exactly right

one of the most engaging pieces i have ever read on sportingo. the gooners also resort to the below - 'he's an arsenal player in a 'anohter teams' shirt - disgusting.

A raw nerve has clearly been touched! Look, if your team insists on HOOFING the ball and playing Chelsea style dull football, you've got to expect people to comment on it. I was getting texts throughout the first leg from people about how rubbish your 'style' of play is. If that's how you wanna play - fine! Just don't get annoyed when people tell it like it is.

I used to like seeing Liverpool turn up - they came for a game played good football and took us on. Now they play like Bolton lite. Its reasonable to complain when the other team BREAK the rules - Kuyt & Lucas both conceded penalties that werent given. Even the scousers accepted that Skirtl deserved a bookin gin the 2nd minute for the foul on Theo that the ref missed along with about another 5 in the second half around their pen area. Although he was a Tott (only because the Arsenal board wouldnt pay the money his previous club wanted Danny Blanchflower was right - trophies are important but glory makes you live forever)

what so because arsenal play good football and dont resort to kicking people and hoofing the ball long every five minutes they are snobs, surely that is a bit rich. To be honest i would rather warch an arsenal team play good football week in week out and come 2/3rd in the league than watch a liverpool team put 10 men behind the ball at all times and very occasionally attack on the break, which consists of a big hoof forward. at least arsenal fans get to watch good football every week and not win the premiership as apose to liverpool fans that watch shit boring football everyweek and win nothing either! a touch of jealousy in this article i think, if the team you supported played good football you woudl love it, i think if anythign you are slighlty jealous

Arsenal havent won anything since 2005 and that it will be 2009 before they do.......

me thinks the article was created by a manc not a scouser-it's the manure lovers who have a problem with us being lauded as the supreme entertainers-time after time they come on these blogs claiming it's them with the jealousy seeping out of them--a genuine liverpool fan would understand great football-just look at their teams of the 70's & 80's!!

pass and move its the liverpool groove. LMFAO

Mmmm, some of it I agree, most of it I don't. Not having a plan B is correct. As a gooner, i am sick and tired of matches where teams defend as it is always such a frustratingly poor quality game. Our results tend to be disappointing in these kind of games and we need to learn to cope with that and still grind out results. I don't want our team to spend ridiculous amounts of money on summer signings but I would like to see about 2 signings of real quality in the form of a leader (like an Adams or a Viera). These were the kind of guys who always picked the team up and made sure they did grind out results against the opposing team bus parked up against the goal. Our current leader is a former Chelski Romanian, whose idea of leading by example is slagging off the manager at the start of the season for not strengthening, sulking on the pitch cause he did not like a penalty decision and kicking a Lucozade bottle into next week. I disagree that we are snobs who think we are better than everyone else, we leave that title to the Man Ures and the Chelskis of this world who are made up of a collection of the stars of everyone elses football team. They are a rich mans plaything whose managers job description reads, "To watch match of the day and whoever Alan Hansen praises, you must spend £30 million on at the next transfer deadline. Nobody else below the top 4 must be able to keep their star players. If we can't field them ourselves, we'll just stick them on the bench, just so long as nobody else benefits from them. If we discover other clubs are interested in these players, we'll just keep outbidding them until they give up no matter what the cost and then when we stare at our silverware later, we can tell everyone it's because we are the best that we won this and that (and we won't mention the small matter about how much money we have spent because all that is irrelevant really. We still would have won these trophies even if we hadn’t spent a penny” At least Arsenal is run with some class and dignity.

You had 65% possessesion blah blah blah , but with all that possession you still couldnt win

Truth is that for all their spending Liverpool are still years away from winning the league. A trophy they have been spending a fortune on without success for how many years? Oh yes I suppose that come Auguist they will be repeating the mantra "This is going to be our year". Dear me thay are beginning to sound like spuds.

I watched the game on Sat and I actually remember seeing Liverpool playing most of the football. Apart from a couple of promising counter-attacks that were wasted by awful finishing where was the elegant football? Secondly, I agree with the article's title - Arsenal are snobs. All Jamie Carragher has to do is pass the ball more than 5 yards and the fans are screaming hoof. Suppose that's the best you can expect from the gooners though - not the most intelligent fans.

We may not have won but with all that possession eventually we will, maybe at anfield tommorow?! I think liverpool were lucky last week, and not for a miscontrol would have lost saturday. And as for snobs... thats a silly statement. I take the rough with the smooth, we have no devine right to the premiership or CL just because we played half a season of great football. But its not over yet... we're hanging in there, i think we've shown great charactor over the last few weeks, we've had disapointing results when maybe we didnt deserve them. We're still there, and with a huge roll left to play in where the CL and Prem trophies end up this season. The fact is liverpool have been defensive in the last 3 matches against us, which from a liverpool perspective is disapointing as that prob means that Rafa doesnt believe his team can beat arsenal by playing there normal football, wether that be at anfield or the emirates.... As for no signings in Jan, i dont think we needed to sign anyone, but we probebly should have kept Diarra. Arsene's not being a snob by not bringing in players, he just belives in the players hes got, instead of stiffiling the young players he already has, he kept faith with them, if he needed a player he'd use a youngster. If all the youngsters were english im sue you wouldnt be complaining about it.

I also seem to remember us battering pool 6-3 and 3-1 at Anfield, also 3-0 at the Grove. We know we have issues defensively and don't bitch when defensive lapses cost us, just referees and teams that play dull football.

iam a good boy

Liverpool are top scorers in the champions league, have scored more goals in all competitions than Arsenal. Not bad for a team that don't attack. Just cos the arse have got dross like Bentner and Walcott who needs around 20 chances to score a goal

snob Show phonetics noun [C] MAINLY DISAPPROVING a person who respects and likes only people who are of a high social class, and/or a person who has extremely high standards who is not satisfied by the things that ordinary people like: By your definition, anyone who has ambition, and doesn't settle for ordinary standards, then yes I'll quite happily be called a snob. You use snobbery as a way to try and deride Arsenal and their followers. Do Arsenal have high standards, higher than most n the league? Yes. If you want to disapprove of that...please do.. I disapprove of boring, uninspiring football. I wouldn't say Liverpool are guilty of that before you start jumping to conclusions. You've clearly used a derisory term to draw direct criticism of the team, and your view is so slanted and un-objective and uses negativity to inspire snobbishness toward Arsenal as if the reader is better informed, a poor attempt at anti-Arsenal propaganda....keep it up ;)

Now go back to the chip shop, there are punters that need serving.
