St. Brynjar Arsenal. Sorry. I know it's fashionable to like them right now but when I watch them I can't help it. Players like Rosicky, Ramsey, Flamini and until recently Walcott. Great entertainment.

I also have a massive soft spot for Norwich, and I like Hughton so I hope all goes well over there. Begrudgingly I like Newcastle too.


I like Hughton as well and Norwich City do have very likeable players too.

The reasons I don't like some Prem Clubs

Arsenal - Arsene Wenger. Such a bad sport. Gets really stroppy when they lose and gives a stroppy handshake to the oppositions manager.
Man City - Johnny come lately's who've only won trophies due to a rich sheiks money. The Poznan.
Liverpool - Self pity club, murderers, Suarez, touchy fans. Glory hunting southern fans aged 30+ who only support them due to their success in the 80s. Michael Shields.
Spurs - Shit club in a shit area of London
Everton - Now Fellieni has gone, not much to dislike
Man Utd - Not much to dislike as such, just annoying they've been so good over the last 20 years
Newcastle - Alan Pardews touchline behaviour
Southampton - No issue
Villa - No issue
Hull - No issue
Norwich - Delia Smith
West Brom - Nothing apart from the harsh sacking of Chelsea legend Steve Clarke
Stoke - No issue
Swansea - Nothing apart from being Welsh
Palace - No issue
Fulham - Jealous fans
West Ham - Constant hatred towards Lampard
Sunderland - No issue
Cardiff - Worst of the Welsh Clubs imo.

Hard to have much against Everton, and their fans were ok.

That's a little rich, no worse than Chelsea.

Erm - we started to win trophies pre-Abramovich or do you have a selective memory?

Quick google:

Chelsea pre Abramovich:

1st Division titles: 1 (1954–55)
FA Cup wins: 3 (1969–70, 1996–97, 1999–2000)
League Cup wins: 2 (1964–65, 1997–98)

Man City pre Sheikh Mansour:

1st Division titles: 2 (1936–37, 1967–68)
FA Cup wins: 4 (1904, 1934, 1956, 1969)
League Cup wins: 2 (1970, 1976)

I'm not arguing Man City are bigger or better than Chelsea, just that historically they've had a similar amount of success.

Used to like Chelsea when Vialli was in charge, and he became his own super-sub.

In the years leading up to Abramovich taking over we won 2 FA Cups, 1 League Cup and the Cup Winners Cup (you forgot this trophy for some reason). So our success has been more gradual that City's. HTH.

Roman took over in 2003 m8. So what I've said above your post is correct.

Haven't seen that much but been to a couple of Arsenal and Tottenham games and enjoyed it. North London bias.

We've got a tough game at home to City tonight. Would take a draw, but think City will be to strong. Will take Evens for the judas bet as well.
