Yeah because you go to watch QPR every week.
Obviously never been to a Hoops game, but have watched all of their Prem matches this season.

And I was rightly nutting, not happy because our fill-in defender had a decent outing!

EDIT: Why did you have to remind meeeeeeeee

This shall be settled at 4:45am.

Worst reply. I'm less of a fan because I stay up all night watching games I don't have the ability to go to? If I lived in the country, I'd be a season ticket holder, but I don't, so I'm less of a fan. Top argument.
That is not what I was saying at all.

Was just replying to the fact that he seemed to think we had a different opinion just because I and others had not watched enough matches and not because people can just disagree.

Clearly then, you haven't seen much QPR. Often with a one or two goal lead, Warnock'll have them sit ridiculously deep and just clear it away. I'm not saying I agree with the tactic, but it works for them, and it can't be lucky if it helps to earn you promotion to the BPL and gets you several away wins when you're in it.

Out of interest, how much BPL is televised in England? I get the feeling a lot of the time that people haven't watched full games.
I've seen plenty enough of QPR to come to the conclusions I have. But even if I hadn't, that doesn't change the fact that I'm completely correct when I say that their performance against Chelsea was absolute bilge.

It's hard to infer any suggestion of this sort from what was posted to be honest.

How is it? It may not have been his implication, but basically, he challenged Nath's knowledge of QPR because he hadn't attended any of their games. Which implies that because he cannot attend them, his knowledge isn't as vaulable as yours or anyone else with an equivalent interest in QPR's games. Which is patently not true and that's unquestionable IMO. Whether or not I agree with him is irrelvant to this point (QPR for all intents and purposes draw with 9 men if Anelka puts away his chances).

He challenged Nath's knowledge, this is not the same as challenging the level of support he is giving.

He essentially challenged his knowledge because of his country of residence, rather than on any valid point. Fan was the wrong word, but Nath watching every QPR game live on television is as solid a base of knowledge as any of yours seeing as though you don't go to their games and probably watch a hell of a lot less of them on television.

Fair enough. I'll admit that I don't watch a particularly large amount of QPR games, but that doesn't have any bearing on the point that I was in fact making.

Haha, Marcuss. Possibly the least classy guy around. NEVER CHANGE. However, it was a solid performance indeed.

Also, you just drew against Fulham. At home.
Yeah, because your post was silky smooth.

But yeah, the Fulham was a bit of a disappointment coming off the back of a solid 2-1 win against Dortmund in the CL which saw us guarantee qualification from our group. A competition you're not in.

Mate, you've managed 2 points from 6 in home games vs newly promoted teams. Come back when you have a leg to stand on.

:laugh: Man you're sad. Classic Arsenal supporter.

If you care to read my posts after said games, do so, and you'll find I was very angry at our tactics/performance in those matches.

I have no idea why you're mentioning the CL. You deserve to be in it, and we certainly don't after last season.

However, after a 1-1 draw against a side doing worse than both sides we drew against, you highlight the peformance of a meh job at right back.

As you were.

EDIT: Why are all (most) Arsenal supporters like this? Reminds me why I can't stand them.

I actually really like watching practically every team in the Premiership, and some in the Championship. And maybe because I don't live in England, I don't have this bile directed at rival sides, or just general hatred of anyone not supporting my club.

There are so many posts in here such as "We're in the Champions League! Lol", "Stoke are ****", "QPR suck", "Fulham aren't a club", etc etc etc, and as someone looking at England from another country, it's a sad, sad view. Feels like the rest of the world appreciates your competition more than you.

EDIT (2): Apologies and thanks to the people who contribute well to this thread.

Stoke are a bunch of ****s. Not a real football club.

Watching the game tonight?

1am here so I don't think I'll be able to. I'd be happy if Liverpool get away with a draw and estatic if they win.

Saturday 3pm kickoffs aren't televised live, pretty much everything else is (apart from Sunday 3pm kickoffs when one of the sides has been playing Europa League on the Thursday.)
