Thread: Sir C - on Jimbo and his Arsenal hatred, I found this

    Sir C - on Jimbo and his Arsenal hatred, I found this

    "I grew up with English football, I supported Swansea, and then switched to Arsenal, but I fell out of love with them when they got interesting. I think I preferred them dogged, resolute and the butt of jokes, rather than the flash, saucy, continental side they became. When I was growing up football existed in the festering end of Britain's social spectrum, so it's unbelievable how it's changed."

    Jorge almost could have written the middle bit

    He supported Swansea, switched to the Arsenal, then changed his mind again?

    WHAT THE ACTUAL LIVING f**k?

    Arsenal are better than Swansea, in fairness.

    I think I'll become a Barcelona supporter.

    They're pretty good, aren't they?

    I wonder if he lives down my mum's road *. There is house there with a Swansea and Arsenal

    flag in one of the bedroom windows. Although I think recently the Swansea flag has gone


    *sigh ... really

    Your mum always flies a Swansea flag when she wants me up her road.

    :sigh:

    Hmm, I was once told by a reliable source whose name I cannot disclose, other than to say it was

    Amy Lawrence, that he only really got into football after moving to Italy and only had a passing interest until that point.

    Which would explain why he clearly knows nothing about it.

    I must admit I had heard similar - I was quite surprised to see that

    Oh, one or two of them can trap a ball, yes, but the place itself is a foul ****hole.

    I first met my wife there

    I very much dislike all that Gaudi ****, r.

    I find it, well, gaudy.
