Arsenal Banter Archive September 30 2016

So Arsene has been manager at our club for 20 years.

As many of you know I have been a time for change supporter for about 7 years.

Arsene has given us some memorable times, albeit in his first 10 years, but the last 10 haven't been good.

Anyway happy birthday Boss.

20 best years in the clubs history

Well done and thank you for the awesome memories 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆.

So third, second and Two FA cups in the last few years is bad?

{Ed025's Note - its called being spoilt SY..

30 Sep 2016 14:24:59
True and get ready for replies

Pretty phenomenal 20 years and been able to watch some super special players in some great teams playing fantastic foitball. Feel lucky to been there to see it

Give him 3 more years!

30 Sep 2016 17:29:59
I like that SY4 mate.

30 Sep 2016 19:14:37
Any one who thinks the last10 years have been great need to take their rose tinted glasses off

The football has been crap for the last 4 years.

{Ed025's Note - very harsh malaga, not the invincibles ill grant you but to label it as crap is way over the top mate..

30 Sep 2016 19:24:35
Malaga,
You make Steve look like one of the Chuckle Brother's.

Cheer the hell up mate.

30 Sep 2016 19:49:28
Malaga if wenger never ever came to us we would be happy with the last ten years.

30 Sep 2016 19:49:34
Ed for s team that has over 160 million wage bill the return has been dire.

{Ed025's Note - i can think of at least 16 teams every year that would dispute that mate..

30 Sep 2016 20:33:47
Malaga who'd be your choice to take over next season?

30 Sep 2016 20:45:54
MGM all right mate

Ronald Koeman with Bergkamp as his assistant.

30 Sep 2016 21:38:02
I would say anyone who thinks the last 10yrs as dire is genuinely blinkered to the reality of what has been achieved under a specific set of circumstances. Something I expect from fans of other teams.

I have seen countless managers courted as young an up and coming who should replace Wenger that have gone on to achieve zero or no longer have a job.

We have had some pretty poor squads over those 10yrs and people expect him to have won all the big prizes, that's the stuff dreams are made of.

We can all say what could have been and it's just supposition. What will life after Wenger hold, none of us have a clue of that either.

I'm eternally grateful for his time here, life will go on after him at Arsenal because Arsenal is the club, Wenger will have been one of the managers, for now, the best one we ever had.

I hope he goes out on a high and personally do not see him as a tactically clueless dinosaur, but that's just my opinion. 😬.

Malaga is playing rough today, but sorry partner I don't buy it.

Even in our worst days of finishing 4th, we still are in the top 1-2 of entertaining football. Never finish below Spurs, never miss CL and almost always worth watching. Rarely do I watch non-Arsenal games in the EPL as a neutral and think it wouldn't be a better match with Arsenal in it. COYG!

01 Oct 2016 00:16:21
Great point SLB. The spuds think they've done great by running us close for a position in the last few years!
Worse still we could be liverpool!

30 Sep 2016 04:21:11
Raver why are you always posting in the Arsenal site? All your comments are the same basic joke. Utter delusion that Spurs are a better club than Arsenal .

Yes you lot have won the European cup and we have not yet. I'll give you that .

BUT

What other stats can Spurs boast that are superior to arsenals?

I can't even fathom that you think Spurs are truley superior!

Even last year in your best season in decades you finished BELOW US.

If yo. Have to troll and banter you really should be doing it on the crystal palace or watford page. Atleast your arguments might actually hold so
Hold validity there

And no mate you're not in mars. the sky is red because north London is red.

30 Sep 2016 08:39:16
Spurs have never won the European cup. The only Euro comps they have won are the same ones we have - Fairs cup or whatever name it has gone by in the subsequent years and the Cup Winners Cup. They have never gone close to the European Cup whereas we have at least made a final not to mention getting out of our group 19 years on the trot.

30 Sep 2016 08:42:16
A further point. The Raver's banter was amusing for a while but it is just tiresome and repetitive now.
Kane scores - woopy do. Spurs have the best defence - hip hip hooray.
In answer we need only say NEWCASTLE 5 TOTTENHAM 1.

30 Sep 2016 09:26:29
I like Raver he's an ok bloke imo and I enjoy his banter too.
Theres no mallace in the man it's just friendly rivalry and for me personally I think this page would be a much worse place if he stopped posting on it.
Others have come on here and on live chat and been personal and abusive which I find a ridiculous way for adults to behave but Raver isn't one of those sort of people he's just having a laugh and imo anyone who gets upset by him needs to chill a bit more.

30 Sep 2016 09:28:13
I think Raver just likes a wind up.

In fact, a recent undercover Daily Telegraph investigation has just announced that Raver is an absolute plonker.

But, we knew that anyway :-)

30 Sep 2016 10:06:42
Thanks gunner, you seem like a top bloke who always sticks up for the raver. I have never said spurs are better than Arsenal but I honestly think the clubs are now neck and neck after spurs being miles behind Arsenal for many years even Arsenal legend Henry said the same thing on tv the other week. Yes I do brag Kane up as he's been slated on this page as a one season wonder ever year, that's it for me the raver is finished on these sites while I have enjoyed my time with gunner, Steve, dags etc having a bit of banter, so don't worry boys I won't bother you with my Subaru story's any more OVER AND OUT.

30 Sep 2016 10:17:37
G62, this page was fine pre-raver?

We did have ctr back then though, basically doing the same thing.

{Ed001's Note - CTR shows less intelligence though ;-)

30 Sep 2016 10:23:47
I on the other hand do enjoy Raver's presence. Top bloke in my opinion. His club is our biggest rival, but then again, the fact that he can come here and survive and actually make some friends is a very big show of tolerance which is in short supply in the world today. He is a Tottenham fan, so we can't expect him to come here and sing praise for Sanchez, Walcot etc. We are rivals and a bit of friendly banter is always appreciated. Never met the bloke, but from what he writes, I can almost paint a picture of a passionate Totenham fan who is always wearing a big smile and has a powdery nose from coke. I as the fan of the "superior club" lol, will tolerate him and maybe convince him to come out of the closet and don the AS7 jersey in red. COYG.

30 Sep 2016 10:27:22
I have nothing personal against Raver nor any Spurs fans though I know only a few. And I also posted earlier in the week that I will be supporting Spurs against City this week. In fact if Arsenal don't win the league this year I'd rather Spurs win than some other teams. I mean one win ever is pitiful. It is the AFL grand final here tomorrow and all are supporting the Western Bulldogs as they have only won one time, 1954. However, unlike Raver, you will not find any Western Bulldogs fan trying to continuously mount a false and, even worse, tedious argument that their side is the best club in the country.

30 Sep 2016 10:45:52
My last reply was sent before I read Raver's last reply. I personally am not trying to drive him away from the site. I was just bantering as he has always been. Please don't take offence from what I have said.
I am an Adelaide Crows supporter who has lived in Melbourne for 30 years. Those of you who know anything about Aussie rules should therefore realise how much stick I have had to put up with.
But, in the end, it is all good fun and I would hope everyone involved in this Spurs Arsenal rivalry treats it the same way.

30 Sep 2016 10:52:47
Raver doesn't take it/ him seriously and neither should you, he's just a closet gooner stuck in a spurs nightmare. he's obvious a bit of a sadist too. But he's sound, for a raving looney.

30 Sep 2016 10:59:54
Melbourne

You would rather the toot win the league if we don't win it

Are you crazy.

30 Sep 2016 13:25:35
I would rather Toot win than Man U, Man C, Chelsea, Liverpool or Everton. All these clubs have won plenty even if for Everton the last was a long time ago. I have lived in Australia so the rivalry with Spurs doesn't mean much to me. In fact, as Arsenal are a North London club I am more inclined to see Spurs as a sibling club than a rival. Likewise I'd prefer an EPL team to win the Champions League than a Spanish, German or Italian club. That sucvess would sort of reflects onto Arsenal. Supporting Arsenal as an overseas supporter is not the same thing as doing it from within the UK.

30 Sep 2016 16:13:06
We already chased off Ed 002, how many more have to go?

30 Sep 2016 16:55:00
Justkunal - The Toot have never won the European Cup. They have won the UEFA Cup twice and the Cup Winners Cup. We won the Fairs Cup (later becoming the UEFA Cup) and the Cup Winners Cup.

It amuses me that Raver posts on the Arsenal site, he must be a closet Gooner.
I love this time of the season when the Toot fans tell us how this year they will finish above us, etc., it makes their end of season failure so much better.

Last season they finished behind us in the League, we put them out of the League Cup at their excuse for a ground, we went further in the FA Cup and we were in the CL and they were in the inferior Europa League. So we faired better in all four competitions. The pain at the lane just goes on. 1961!

30 Sep 2016 19:33:53
Raver there are some people I don't appreciate on your site and they don't appreciate me, probably the same for you but keep coming for a chat with us, this site would be more boring without you and a lot better with it. i'm sure the boys will pay you a visit as well.

{Ed025's Note - i agree steve...even though he is a pain in the arse.. :)
