After crowing for a week that Arsenal would win, that Liverpool were crap, etc.

'Graceless?' Did you see Wenger interviewed after Arsenal got beaten (again) by Man Utd?

Oh and:

Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal are all scum. They are run by fat billionaire foreign owners who don't give a fook about the game and are only interested in making money. When was the last time a British youth player came through the ranks at any of these clubs?. These clubs are destroying the British game and the home nation teams. At least teams like Portsmouth, Everton and the Glasgow old firm, show how the game should be run.

So good luck to all 3 of those Red Yankee Teams

Gerrard -It's poor that Liverpool can produce only one player in the last 10 years. Rooney and Walcott - ex youth players at other clubs and multi million pound buys.

I'm not calling the fans or players scum - it is who they are that makes them scum.

The same thing happened in Scotland a few years ago , where the youth players were not being produced and it affected the national team.Today nearly all the players at the big clubs are home grown, talented and have a passion for the team. Scotland are today capable of beating Italy and France, where as England have to pick players from Wigan and Middlesborough and can't beat Croatia.

Look at when Liverpool dominated world football, the whole team was British and Irish. Today it is all money based only clubs with no passion and care for what they should be. This to me is why they are ruining football and I called them scum.

I don't know one person from my end that was really confident or 'crowing' Arsenal would beat Liverpool at Anfield (or saying Liverpool were shit), not after the way Arsenal had been playing recently, so not sure where your facts come from, but as a fan, you try and find that belief from somewhere.

All I know about the game against United, is my friends calling me up from Old Trafford after the game finished and the ground was bouncing from Arsenal songs and noise for a full 15-20 mins, non stop. Shame SKY sports didn't bother to show that kind of footballing spirit. That felt better than anything else. That's all that matters to me, i'm not interested in what you have to say (again), or Wenger or the press/ media.

Yes, we lost - but we went down fighting. Some waeknesses, but I think everyone knows Arsenal will be back next season and stronger. At the start of this campaign, the talk was of Arsenal finishing outside the top 6, that we were finished without Henry - not so though, is it? And we still, in reference to the posts by 'The Boy', have not spent anywhere near as much money in our bid for success like Liverpool, United and Chelsea.....(which is one of Arsenal's downfalls clearly this season)but we still had the talent to give it a good shot and that counts for everything.

Some of us football fans follow our team pretty much home and away, I been more away games this season than home - so you're gonna feel that 'pinch' at times, Chris - that's what being a real supporter is all about. But we all get home to our families and get on with life and it becomes another memory - good or bad. But don't knock that passion and dedication.

You said yourself you were a supporter since you were 3 years old, look how excited you got over seeing Liverpool win, you can surely appreciate that passion and disappointment from those of us that spend thousands per season, travel all over the country and world to see out football teams?

I went out to paris two years ago and saw my team beat by Barcelona in the Champions League final - I still had one of the best times of my life out there, and it's one of my best football memories of Arsenal, despite losing. I still got to see my team in the final, actually be there - how many fans can say that? There's a bigger picture.

Liverpool have under-achieved for years, you won europe, but as a footballing side you border on average to good. But you have it right in Europe. Good luck to you against Chelsea, out of the 3 left i'd rather see Liverpool win it, probably, than any of the other teams. But if we're talking about teams that really have footballing quality, outstanding talent and 'dominate' football at every level, week in and week out, then if would only be right that Manchester United went on to win it. Although that pains me to say it.

:edit: Oh, and tongue and cheek springs to mind. Read between the lines.

Arsenal are not owned by 'yanks' - we've been owned by the same family for decades. Granted, the screws have been tightened but it's well reported that the Arsenal board have stood firm on any mass take over bids so far! So we've not sold out to any yanks yet, unlike Manchester United and Liverpool, and well....Chelsea. Just Emirates.

The Blues did the same at the OT derby. Not through choice though, they were kept behind until the Reds cleared the stadium. The PA lady thanked them for their impeccable behaviour and they all left singing 'We are impeccable', apparently.

Emirates looked like the Riverside on MoTD last night - swaths of empty red plastic seats on veiw :p

Really? I took Joe to the Emirates yesterday to watch Arsenal with me for the first time - a sell-out game, with an attendance of 60,109. I remember thinking if we have a capicty of 60,000 how the fuck did the 109 fit in?!

That said, a lot of folk had started to leave before the final whistle. Tube and train problems after every game.

Fantastic day yesterday though - if not really strange having my son sat next to me to watch the game, cheering when goals were scored, coming out with one liners a pundit on MoTD would be proud of and hearing him sing....... Ian Wright, Wright, Wright then having a ribena (him) and a beer (me) together at half-time, while scoffing our faces with £10 burgers talking tactics - I suddenly felt old, responsible, over-protective, emotional and proud all at once.

Made up for you going with Joe, Em

But it certainly didn't look full on telly. And not just the Reading section. That 60109, they must count season ticket holders whether they turn up or not. Guess Emerites electronic ticketing makes it more difficult to pass a season onto someone else if you don't go.

People leaving early from a lunchtime kickoff?? FFS!!!

It's really easy to use someone elses season ticket coz you just hold it under the electronic machine and in you go as long as it's a valid ticket!(something a small number of Liverpool fans with forged tickets found out to their cost whilst getting rejected by the machine two weeks ago! :-)) I was using someone elses season ticket yesterday so that Joe and I could sit together and we didn't have any problems at all. If anything it's easier, and I may be wrong but not sure there's anything against handing your season ticket to someone else to use? We often swap all ours around to allow friends and family (like Joe and I yesterday)to watch games through the season.

Took some pics yesterday and just been looking at them close up - at the other end of the ground you can see empty seats spotted about, you're right. Arsenal's capacity is actually 60,432 (just looked it up)no idea if season tickets are counted or not, always thought it would be automatic on the day from the machines that let you in, as to the attendance?

Truth is Leggy, most of Arsenal's season ticket holders now are fat cats who can afford it, not the proper fans who struggle to get tickets. For example, yesterday's game was a sell-out (according to the box office) think of all those people that couldn't be bothered to go, probably as Arsenal are not competing for anything now for the remaing part of the season, and think of all the fans that can't get tickets that could have filled those seats?

And yes, since we moved to Emirates, there are massive problems getting back onto the transport system from the ground. If it's not a 'big' game, the fans tend to leave early to get on to tubes and trains before it becomes gridlocked outside the ground. Arsenal even show other games and have after match entertainment for those that stay to let the crowds die down outside.

I'm not saying it's right - Joe and I stayed until the end, to get back down to Finsbury Park took half hour, if not longer, and even after that we still got staggered by the police walking down the road to stop crushes at all three main stations, Arsenal, Holloway and Finsbury Park. What can you do?

Eh? We've won 6 major trophies this century. That's unsurpassed by any English club. Our 2 major European trophies are the only ones any English side has won. We've finished above Arsenal 2 season's running. Made 3 Cl semis in 4 years, 2 finals and 1 win, so far...

What exactly were your expectations?
