Wasn't our latest Mike Dean match the one against Swansea where he denied us two pretty decent penalty shouts?
Three.

Irony is lost on this chap, no matter how untrue his story might be
Cannot face the chance that the two spurs fans might laud it over him should Tottenham win, but what’s he doing the day after “St Totteringham’s” day?
Also, football shirts in gyms? Says it all about the level of person involved!
What else I cannot fathom is that Arsenal have won the "EMIRATES" Fa Cup 3 times in the last 4 years and yet... .
It's been so long I now have to call it the james!Gym?!! What the hell's a gym?!!

Great innit?What else I cannot fathom is that Arsenal have won the Fa Cup 3 times in the last 4 years and yet... it's not worth sweet f all. Is it a sad indictment of the modern Premiership? Is the FA Cup now just a side trophy (I alas believe that to be the case, even if I wouldn't sniff at us winning it)?
Or has the modern day Arsenal fan lost sight of the world in which they now live? One where being better than Manchester United and then later Chelsea, is no longer a guarantee for success. I appreciate it must be tough to be really successful and then witness a steady decline, but to so openly scoff at their FA Cup achievements is quite "upsetting" (in the larger context of modern football).
I do believe that unlike Chelsea or Man United, who have taken bigger drop offs and then came back quickly, Arsenal have been fighting a losing drip drip drip battle against mediocrity. Yes they have had relative success in CL qualification, even at our expense, but at no point have they looked liked serious EPL contenders in donkeys years and it hurts them, bad. Of course it would... but again, back to success and losing it, like Liverpool I suppose, are Arsenal proof that the only thing that matters is the EPL title and the UCL and if so, are we as a result, in the (very) modern context and the strength of the league, more successful?
Now before anyone thinks I am trying to laud it over them, I am not. Right now we do look on their recent trophy haul with a degree of envy, but it's the Arsenal fan I refer to and their perception of their own status within top flight football and that is, that they see themselves as dying a slow and painful death into Europa League irrelevance and as such, lose sight and enjoyment out of what they do still achieve in this exceptionally difficult league.
I wear my spurs top in the gym. Where else you supposed to wear it?
Gym?!! What the hell's a gym?!!

esprit de l'escalierSounds more like the response he thought up on the bus home and wished he'd had the bollox to say.
Michaelden's post, an Arsenal fan wrote
"We're the only top 6 side that hasn't been a serious contender for a major trophy in the past 5 years".??
They won the FA cup three times!! The scope of their arrogance is breathtaking.
The FA cup is not seen as a major trophy by the top clubs any more though. You always play your best players in every game(unless you have qualified) in the major trophies. In the FA cup that is no longer the case.
