Yeah some fans are just weird, hatred seems to be thier primary reason for following football. When Fulham are supposed to be one of your rivals then I struggle to even summon mild dislike, I mean really who can get worked up about Fulham? It is nice actually having some proper derbies now because we were starved of them for years but they are never going to be huge for me.

Have always focussed more on big clubs really, Man Utd and then Chelsea but honestly find that fading as well. Moving to an area where I have not come across any Chelsea fans certainly helps, you still find the odd Man Utd fan of course but its just not the same since they stopped being good.

Today is a very very big day for Arsenal and a very big day for Arsene Wenger. As much as I have enjoyed him as the rejuvenator of English football, his time as manager should have been up 5 or 6 years ago, the fact that the club has persisted with him for this long, where we're now at a point where the top 4 is highly unlikely and we haven't beaten a genuinely competitive PL side since UNited a month ago...well, we just have to beat Everton. No ifs, no buts, no maybes.

The worst part is, it is probably more than certain that Wenger wil stay and we may likely lose one of Ozil or Alexis. What a shambles!

Think it has become fairly obvious the last couple of years that the Top 4 is not really that big a deal at all.

Just a reflection of society now though isn't it, you get it in all sports, politics, blimey even TV and showbiz. People justifying for voting for utterly hateful, unqualified people (naming no names), because they just don't like another party/politician much. People thrive on hatred for others more than love. Sometimes I think they don't really care much about their own fandom, it's more about hate for a rival or rivals. Tennis is a sport it's pretty big in.

yeah, I don't get it, everyone knows I despise the Cornish and Manure, but they can get promoted to the Prem, win the Quintuple respectively, as long as we're doing well.

Obviously, in the end the Sky money means the cash doesn't matter much, and we just don't compete now, in the end it used to give teams a decent chance of a long run, **** e even Leeds made a semi-final.
