Was any arsenal fan incensed by that w;a;nker commentator on today fm Saturday???? Now i wont begrudge Rooney or Everton as i felt they worked very hard and deserve to win but that commentator really was the pitts. i mean its seldom or ever arsenal are on it (its normally pool or scum utd), but it would be nice to have a neutral commentator when we are. As for Rooneys goal which according to that toffee fanatic twit. It was a great strike but that bloody idiot reckons twas the greatest ever was. he must only watch ****ing everton.. has he ever heard of di canio??? or even maradona, maybe even van basten??? i wouldnt be surprised if not the fuc;king anorak..

I agree. Yeah, rooney scored a cracker of a goal but he was ranting and raving that it was the best goal of all time...in general i find the commentary on today fm is very poor..i find tom tyrell extremely irritating and they spend more time disussing facts/previous fixtures than the actual match they are commentating on...do you ever listen to bbc 5live? Alan Green and Mike Ingham are good and our own Conor Mcnamara makes the odd appearance...

He was a bit orgasmic alright the poor lad, must be an evertonian.

Peeve, I know why u like five live with alan "scouser" greene., still has to admit he is a scouse fan

I wouldn't take it so personally if I were you Tipp Gunner. It was the same for United for years and now Arsenal should get used to it. It is human nature neutural people always like to see the underdog pull it off. Lets face it at 3pm on Saturday nobody was giving Everton a chance. Maybe soon there will be ABA people out there instead of ABU's. Doubt it though.

yop · 21-10-2002 3:27pm

Waylander, true but I cannot see arsenholes winning 7 premierships in 10 years to be honest, still I can see no one touching them this year

>i wouldnt be surprised if not the fuc;king anorak..

You moron tipp_gunner, an anorak is a name for someone who has a vast footballing knowledge, not specialising or lacking in a domestic footballing knowledge, but certainly not specialising in another country's domestic football.
On the rare occasion that you come on you always manage to make a t\/\/at of yourself. Congratulations. You will never be an anorak, rest assured.

Bateman · 22-10-2002 5:36pm

Glad to know your humour matches your footballing knowledge.

5live is obviously the best coverage as has been said above. And I have no life apparently.:(

KdjaCL · 22-10-2002 5:46pm

Tipp did you see the goal????
tap in took a few deflections and bobbled over the line :O

If my team were playing unbeaten Aresenal and our 16 yr old n00b came on and scored a goal like that in the 90th minute to win the match ,i think any reaction less than w@nking live on air is acceptable.

Great goal.

If you are a scouser, otherwise you have to listen to alan twat greene moan on about "oh that defence is not as good as liverpools 7-2-1 formation bla bla bla"

When are people going to realise that ABU's dont hate ManUre because they won a lot? It was just easier to ignore the uni'eh crowd when they were more concerned with the little cups.

yop · 23-10-2002 3:41pm

Thick as a fish, why have u removed your post from this morning.

Realised that what you had wrote was an attack. !!!

Always the chicken arent we??

Gandalf, that line was for the twat who removed his post previous to me posting this line, this is not a comment on your statement.

Waylander · 24-10-2002 2:09pm

Not sure I agree with that Dustaz. You probably will not believe this but I was a United fan back when they had not won the league in 20 years, and did not look like breaking the duck anytime soon and there was ABU's back then. Although in fairness not as many. What you are saying is a bit of a vicious circle, as long as people like Dessie Cahill ( who I quite like and get a good laugh out of ) is doing his ABU mouthing on the radio, some United fans are going to respond in kind, so the whole thing just keeps on escalating.

Bateman · 24-10-2002 4:04pm

Not being cynical or anything (well, maybe a little, can't help it), but whether you like it or not, the fact is that United gained a lot of Irish "fans" after Munich. Now given that a couple of Irish died, maybe its not surprising, but people who supported English teams before this probably thought it was a bit shallow, as some of those who started following United supported other teams befoer this, but this curiously made them United "diehards". Now obiously I am not saying that many of them are still around today walking around town with the latest common as much jersey, but the sympathy vote combined with the gloryhunting mentality mean that a lot of people are anti-United.

For my part, I always enjoy it when Chelsea play and beat United, its always a big occasion when the best team in England comes to town, and I'd rather watch United any day than w@nkpool, at least when they were winning stuf, United played great football. I dislike Leeds more than any other English team, then Liverpool probably second, but there are valid reasons why supporters of other teams dislike United with a passion. If indeed two teams in another country that you get to watch around twice a year with around one Irishman between them is your main thrill.

Waylander · 25-10-2002 10:14am

I find it very hard to believe that you think the Munich Air Crash in 1958 is the reason it is most peoples hobby to hate Man Utd and their fans in 2002. That makes no sense to me at all.

Bateman · 25-10-2002 1:11pm

(a) People started supporting Man Utd just because of the disaster. Thats a fact, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, Irish people died and all, but, well, its a shallow reason to start following a team. And the maybe it gets passed down.(b)

(b) People stated supporting Man Utd after they won a string of trophies. People who prefess to be "diehards" stopped supporting Liverpool and started supporting United, and I personally know numerous examples.

Does it make any more sense now? The point I tried to make is that people dislike Utd and fans because of their gloryhunting, stubborn nature (jealousy here also, no problem admitting that), and also because many United fans have little or no general football knowledge, and couldn't even tell you who the manager before Alex Ferguson was ("before my time, bud, before my time").

You can't tar all fans of any team with the one brush, eg all Leeds fans are racist, all Chelsea fans are loyalists, all Liverpool fans are stanley merchants, etc, but some just ask for it.

Waylander · 29-10-2002 3:38pm

I agree that at the time people would have started supporting United but I do not agree that there is still resentment about this almost 50 years on. That is streching it alot. Also by your arguement, after Hillsborough Liverpool should have gained loads of fans ( which they probably did ), and the rest of us should resent this and set up ABL clubs according to your behavioural attitudes theory? It never happened because Hillsborough was regarded as a tragedy and people would not be so petty as to resent a club for haveing a more traumatic time then other clubs.

I also know there are bandwagon united fans out there by the thousand, similarly over the course of the 90's there have been big swings in support of Leeds, Villa, Blackburn, Arsenal, Newcastle.

Where are all the Blackburn jerseys of 95 now. I agree that there are alot of United fans out there who are exactly as you have described them to be, but not all of them are. There are also alot of ABU's who are the other bitter begrudgeing extreme.

Bateman · 29-10-2002 6:06pm

The whole ABU thing is a load of nonsense started by that idiot Des Cahill. Its not something I personally go in for.

As regards Hillsbororough, it came at a time when the Liverpool craze in Ireland was at its zenith, with players in the Ireland squad and what not, so its potential to gain new fans for Liverpool in Britain or in Ireland was limited.

Supporters of other teams were united in grief for the famililes of the Hillsborough victims, and it was considered a slight on the ordinary working class football fan (anyone who has seen the Cracker episodes that deal with this will understand), so as such, there would be less resentment for the Hillsborough thing as its also fresher in the memory. But its probably fair to say that United are the Liverpool of the 90s, as far as having sheep supporters in Ireland is concerned.

And I don't take the point about Blackburn, Newcastle and Villa. They have always been minorities, aven when they were doing well, United fans always had the idiotic "moral superiority" because of their team's longer term domination of English football.
