What makes me laugh about Arsenal...

It's Scousers, City then Leeds who i hate the most, Arsenal don't even come close.

Surely you would have to be an utter nonse to think you don't considering the last five years in particular .
You -
CL title
Three PL titles
Two runner ups
FA Cup
Us
Two PL
Runners Up three times
Two FA Cups
Runner Up once
EUFA Cup Runner Up
That immense struggle at Villa Park
Every time we've met in the league everybody ( apart from you !) has commented on it always being the most intense and highly skilled contests between the two foremost protagonists .
What planet have you been on mate ?
Have you not noticed then .?
For me our 'rivalry v Spurs is zilch compared to ours with you ( And I know a few who think the same about City and you too .)

Bollocks, there's very little rivalry between the Gooners in london that I know and myself, its all with Spurs and little else matters. Maybe you're a rival at the moment in terms of the league, but thats just at present and has nothing to do with tribal rivalry.
Rather Arsenal win the league than Liverpool. Even if Liverpool and Leeds were in Division 1, there would still be rivarly between us. We are only slight rivals with Arsenal because they are up there. When they become mediocre in a few years, we won't give a shit about matches with them. Case in point: Blackburn.
And a very pleasant bollocks to you too sir .
Rivalry is rivalry end of . It moves up and down relative to the situation.
I have Man Utd friends who did'nt give a feck about City -
They do now <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />
Depends on how much of a threat your 'rivals ' are I think .

We would if it wasn't populated by your compatriots. And remember, we have a stadium almost double the size of yours, which means we have more local support in our stadium than you do.
And why do they come to us and not to you? Fecking nutters they are. Support your local club.

Actually,I think you a poorly educated vulgar arsehole who confuses abuse with debate,has probably not got a girlfriend ,because it's difficult to see how you would know how to treat a lady,and i guess probably still lives with his mum .It doesn't bother me that you support the choice of 'Glory Hunters Everywhere' ,what bothers me is that your support of Man Utd is so blind,you're incapable of any attempt at objective analysis of your team,whether they play badly or not.In fact,you're probably the type that if you lose the next 3 games would be calling for the head of SAF because you assume that supporting Man Utd means you are guaranteed to win the Title,at least,every year.

Heh heh that's why you're so bloody terrified of us .

How long is it now without a trophy ? nearly two years ? I spose you would discount these ones in your carefully chosen pick of the glory ones .

In the last day or so I have seen a lot about what you have won and what we have not .

Now SURPRISED ......... I bet . Of course you can look at this forgeting EVERYTHING other than the various glory years of both clubs or you can see that actually comparitively speaking we hold our ground very very well imo .
I grant you the two European Cup successes are more prestigious particular the 1968 when it really was a 'champions' cup ( just personal opinion )
Well after looking at that it does surprise me that untill only recently you were quite well behind in the league title stakes, but things change , it goes in circles and every dog has their day .
Nevertheless I am quite pleasantly surprised . You have the edge but I think considering your huge financial resources we run you pretty close and deserve much respect for that .
Maybe you might now see that we are not quite that little insignificant club round the corner that you like to think we are .
Who knows should we have two brilliant years that bring another PL title or two ad a CL we just might be able to say we are your equals
I'm amazed you bothered to take the time to look all that up when the main point of you argument was how we hadn't won anything for nearly 2 years.
Surely all that proves is that you have to go back to the 1980's and earlier to compete with us.
As for huge financial resources it wasn't a million years ago we were nearly bought for £10 million by Michael Knighton. We only have huge resources because we were the first team to realise that footbal is not a sport anymore its a business. Just because your directors were slow on the uptake, don't expect an appology from anyone at Old Trafford

I've never said that...
as long as we play good football, thats enough for me... i've witnessed a great 12 odd years... so, if we don't win anything again for another decade, then so beit... we don't have the divine right to win the PL every year, no one does!!
PS.. spurs and west ham are your rivals.......

I agree. City is meaningless now.
The rivalry is there between United and Arsenal because they are the best 2 teams in England over the last 5 -6 years. Rivalry with Liverpool goes deeper. Leeds are just filth.

What a sad little man! What the feck are you talking about? We can't choose who SAYS they support the club, just like you can't help Tom Watt supporting Arse. But the odd thing is, and the thing that really pisses you off is that we can pull 67000 people, game in, game out. A sizable proportion of which happen to be cockneys. But then again, we get fans from Scandanavia, Glasgow, Spain, and Germany, etc etc etc. These "Glory Hunters" spend their own hard-earned cash to see their team, and then are taken the piss out of by twats like you.
The truth is, pal, we have won the PL seven times in nine years, whilst you've won it twice. You've gone from a team that won't lose a game this season, to one that's getting turned over on a regular basis. And you are shitting it! Because you know that we are more than able to take the title off you,again. Dont You!
