From last night, at 4:0 2nd caller is a gem, blaming dodgy decisions, not just last night but all season!!
We really need to do a job at Wembley, it could have serious repercussions on the rest of our league campaign.
I wholeheartedly agree. Even Sky managed to praise Palace - well Ranieri did anyways and said they won because they played as a complete unit with all players working at 100% unlike Arse.I listened to about 10 minutes of talksport this morning on the way to work and they just talked about Woolwich. This is really disrespectful to Palace - they bossed that game last night. On about 80minutes I saw Andros back in his own box helping out - his shirt was soaking.
But, yeah, talksport know that gooners will phone in and they make money off that so, from a marketing standpoint, I understand. Still, well done Palace.
Classic post!
This interview was officially AFTV "jump the shark" moment. Idiotic youth crowding the camera, caring more about filming on their phones for social media, sharing their Snapchats, the whole thing is a joke. They couldn't probably care less about their team. Just a winning team to flaunt to others their whole life.
Watching things like that confirmed in my mind that many Woolwich fans, especially younger ones, don't really love their club in the way we do. They love themselves and the idea of supporting a successful club. They don't understand or care what being part of a football club is really about.
For them, Woolwich is a cheap, hollow emotional transaction without any love or sense of belonging. I know too many Woolwich fans like this and it makes me proud to support a proper club.
Don't know wether to laugh or cry

I think alot of it is poor english but he seems like such a nice man. Dilly Ding n all thatFound Ranieri painful to listen to - speaks in colloquialisms but always gets them slightly wrong so they lose their meaning.
This is sweet sweet revenge.....called it a couple weeks ago and since then we've gained another 6pts on them.
Let them "raise their game" at WHL......they will barely match the levels we put into a training match. Woolwich are fucking shit, and 6th flatters them.
Wait till they Everton get past them. They are looking at a battle for 8th soon

This is absolutely key. They won't be able to derive any enjoyment from less successful times. As i've told gooners before, it's not just that I love Kane more than they love Henry, it's that I love Mido more than they love Henry- and they will never ever understand that.So, so true, they are in love with the concept of being the best, and reflecting that degree of success upon themselves. Nothing more. It's why losing hurts them so bad.
I went to dinner with a few mates last night and three of them where Gooners, it was delicious, and the food wasnt bad either. BOOM BOOM!!
I said to one of the more rational ones that you will know the tide has truly turned when you see little rude boys walking around in cities like Manchester and Nottingham wearing Spurs shirts. No understanding of the history or culture behind it..... Just "this is the best team who has the best players and my mates support them so....."
It will be a joyous but ultimately depressing day all rolled into one.
That's my main concern - that they are SO shit it's quite conceivable they could finish low enough to avoid Europa League qualification.
