Why didn't Arsene come to my birthday party?
He owes me that after all the mornings I have spent drinking beer watching his team play. HE OWES ME THAT.
Theres just been a world cup which royally screwed our pre-season. In the future, who knows maybe the team can play more but it's just over a month until the season starts. Not a lot of time for tours.

Should of chosen United.
Chelsea are not coming to the US for the first time in a few years....
...and I'm okay with that given that it's a World Cup year and many of the players have been zipping all over the place all year. I just want the season to start and for everyone to be healthy and well rested.

Thinking about it, but yeah, tickets look a little pricey for what we would be seeing.
In fact the EPL is so enjoyable and loved worldwide they simply shouldn't play in England anymore more than once a year. These teams have fans all over the world right? Best teams, biggest sport? Every EPL season should be a worldwide tour with each individual game in a different country.

What am I reading?
If you care about a team YOU travel to where they are playing. If the team you support is foreign and they happen to come to your home country for a pre-season game then you should count yourself lucky. Arsenal are a London team first and foremost, the real local fanbase who support them week-in week-out are based there. As an overseas fan, they owe you nothing, you are choosing to support them.
If you think any team really cares about their international fanbase then you are kidding yourself. It is all a front for revenue generating purposes.

But its disrespectful to all the international fanbase to not travel the world and play a game in every single country. If the fans in the USA are outraged, imagine how Arsenal fans in Nauru must feel right now?
Its an affront.

If you choose to support a foreign team then you should be prepared to travel if you want to see them.
If not sit down grab a beer and watch the game.

But seriously as a Londoner and lifelong Arsenal fan currently overseas in Dubai I'm personally outraged that Arsenal aren't traveling to the UAE over pre-season. How inconsiderate can they be? I don't care that its 45+ degrees Celsius and 80%+ humidity here at the moment they should be coming here to play. They are professional footballers afterall, they should be able to cope with these conditions so that I can see them play. I mean, I'm still paying for my annual membership afterall so they at least owe it to me.
All this when they are sponsored by Emirates which is headquartered here.
Outrage.

Shame. Sucks to get trolled by the perpetual moron machine the couple times I poke my head in here. Y'all still cool though.
But how will I ever get to celebrate success and feel good about myself if I don't support one of the top four teams?

Eredivisie is where the action is at.
Jeez. Imagine how much you'd celebrate that if you scored that in 5-a-side, even Eredivisie semi-pros brush it off like it's nothing
Dortmund will give us a bridesmaid-bros discount, innit.
Anyone remember this from last season?
It was brlliant. Hoping for something similar in EPL. I would have liked to see Terry doing it to Costa but that won't happen.
Sakho will definitely do something like that.
I feel sorry for him tbh. He made an almost unforgivable decision in Liverpool fans' eyes, but it's gone horrendously wrong for him in a way that actually makes me sad about the player he's become, and the utterly joyless emotional state he's seemingly plunged into over the last 3 and a half years, even though he's won it all in the interim, aside from the league.
Pisses me off that there were dozens of Liverpool fans at school, yet not once did they come to play at York Road. Ungrateful cunts. It's the OOTs who keep the club afloat, we should at least get a disount when we go to games. Or failing that, a free half-and-half scarf would do.
Hey it isn't fair to say that you should only support the teams closest to you locally or that your favorite team has to be one in your vicinity. I mean I know plenty of people that support Bayern because of the players, or Dortmund for the management. I know people that support Barca for the playing style, and RM for the history.
I mean I shouldn't have to support like 1860 Munich because I technically live closer to them than Bayern, or some Austin team because I live there. I get the dislike of the people complaining about teams not coming to them but the counter isn't much better.

Just watch from the hill for free!
lol. I might do that, I'd have to buy binoculars though lol.
Yeah, no Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso, Modric, Pepe, Coentrao and Cristiano Ronaldo.
We better be careful then.

I'd have to support Reading. Fuck Reading. And not in a Wilbur way. In a 'fuck the town of Reading' way.
Does anyone here genuinely wish they supported another club? I think that's the point where you're not a true fan tbh, unless it's Portsmouth or Leeds or someone, a club who have actually gone through administrative times which are proper stressful.

I wish I supported Liverpool.
9 years of pain and no Champions League trophies did this to me. Its your fault Arsène.

My local club is Ottawa Fury and they play in a league below MLS. I don't know if I even wanna watch that.

if you wish you'd support another club then you should anyway, no one likes a fake fan
Never...Liverpool for life and no regrets. I'm from London and this insistence that you support your local is admirable. But love can be am unpredictable thing.
Support who you love. No problem. But only one club...you can flirt with others but you can only truly love one club.

Give them support and hope for their promotion every year, you take the good with the bad in every team.
Unless you already have another club you love with a passion, then it's alright

Suen did. And then another, and then another, etc until he lost track of all the clubs he supported.

My local teams
AFC Telford and Shrewsbury.
Family wanted me to support West Brom or Wolves, my cousin said "Phil support United with me." Ok cool.
That was twenty years ago.

You kidding me? St. Louis is getting a USL team next year and you better believe I'm gonna get smashed and attend that mess.

The years since 2006 haven't been a picnic for us
I know we have it better than probably 87 of the other teams in the football league with the finances to stay in the top 7 even in our worst times, and we have a lot of undeserved media focus which I can imagine annoys a lot of people. But when we coasted in the top 4, we won nothing. The two times we've challenged for the league, it's ended in absolute heartache, especially last season. And those 4 years hovering between 6th and 8th. And those 6 months under Hodgson. Fuck that.
I'd trade everything I own to win the league.
check your privelege etc

Anyone else feel like the World Cup thread slowed down a bit when England got knocked out, and a lot when America did? Perhaps inevitable, but a shame nonetheless. Imagine if we both got to the final. 10 OTs, at least.
Well, I imagine there would have been a lot more if a team like England made it back to the finals and if the US actually somehow got all the way there. Then it would be a million posts for just the one game. That'd be a lot of OTs.

There would be an OT per refereeing decision

The narrative would be incredible. Just a week after Independence Day as well
Depressing realisation time: USA will get to a World Cup final well before we do.
I stopped posting there because I felt twitter was more appropriate for my shit posting.
