Arsenal don't like coming to ours, loads of their fans say it. Not sure about parking the bus at the Emirates mind, that's asking for trouble

We don’t like going to them either though - we beat them a lot here but normally only by a goal. They normally put daylight in between us when they’re at home. Speaking with my head I honestly don’t think we’ll win this.

Really don't fancy playing Liverpool in a final but anything can happen on the day so long as we don't choke again.


I prefer Liverpool over Spurs (if we get job done). They’re the top side, but if they have a wobble in 2nd half of season, all pressure is on them and after a UCL 16 game (where there’s a chance it could be against a top side like Man City giving their position) they could be tired with injuries.

Aye we normally get a spanking there but two things: we know how to upset them mentally plus I believe we are about to come into the form of the season. I'm happy enough with the draw with what remains, and being at home for the 2nd leg is crucial imo

Reading some Liverpool fan views and they seem happy to have gotten Spurs. Apparently we 'kick teams all over'? Do we have that reputation? Fully aware I'm as bias as it gets and live in an NUFC bubble, but we're hardly the Stoke of old.

Comments like this are borne out of lack of acceptance that we have a lot of quality in our squad so us getting anywhere near their level must be due to other methods such as "kicking them all over the pitch", "cheating" or "wasting time".

 

Entitlement.

We’ll win this, quite comfortably too. They’ve spent something silly like £700m but still can’t beat us.. And we know how to give them a good slap at home, they are a mentally weak club and both sets of supporters know it.

I mean Joe loves a barney, we have a few scrappy lads who’ll be up for it, but we’re not dirty.

I don't think they're dirty, but Schar and Burn are chippy and don't shy away from stuff.  Big Joe is a maniac :lol:  Bruno is a bit snide.  Tonali is solid but not dirty.  Not sure we have anyone else that gets particularly stuck in?

It's Liverpool. They machete someone and it's a mistimed tackle. You give them a sidewards glance and they want a murder charge.

 

Thus isn't just Merseyside based Liverpool fans, this is also the plakka glory hunters around the country if not world. Two of my best friends fwiw.

Nasri called his own fan base emotional

and soft, and that’s what they are. They aren’t even the biggest club in Their own city, Chelsea are bigger. Well do them, it’s easy to get in their heads.

 

Chelsea aren't bigger than arsenal by a long way.

They’ve won two champions league, arsenal won none. Probably got more global supporters too.
