Welcome to the GunnersoreArse blog. Being blogged 918.74 kilometers (in a straight line) from the Emirates Stadium.
Today we have a guest post from Eddie.
Who are the most hated teams in the English Premier League?
I would like to invite all football fans to vote for the most hated team in the English Premier League. Although the invitation is open to all I would like to point out that this is an Arsenal blog and we would like the visitors from N17 to behave with respect and those from SW6 to refrain from violence.
I read several articles on this subject and checked some polls and votes. Needless to say that the press is full of editorial errors placing Arsenal even above Tottenham in the Hate Tables, but we know we are and always will be the most loved club in the world. Those who don’t love us are…

Santi was on fire. Our most important player.
I said Bellerin was going to be the next Ramsey, Wilshere, Ox and look at him. He played a blinder today.
Le Coq has taken his chance with both hands and will not let his spot go without a fight. Proyect youth, beyotch.
Great tactics by Arsene today. He punished Pellegrini for playing to oafs in the middle. Silva, Agüero and Fernandiho were invisible today thanks to the way he instructed Coquelin to play.

City were not pants. They were outplayed for 80 minutes (I’ll give them the first 10, although they didn’t actually create anything.)
Kompany was naïve for the pen – hoped the ref wouldn’t see/give it.
Their whole defence went to sleep for the second. Three Arsenal players in behind who could have taken that one. Love Santi’s reaction – thx for that clip, eduardo.
But no one can say “Oh it was just Hull/Stoke” anymore.
Great team display, but I’m most happy about Coquelin and Bellerin because they’re young players who have shown they have what it takes in a big match. There was one shot of Le Coq shouting at everyone to face up – that’s the sort of spirit we want to see. Doesn’t mean another DM wouldn’t be welcome but it does mean it’s not so pressing. There is also the question of the 25-man squad to consider – according to my calculations, Coquelin counts as a foreign player because he didn’t spend 3 years with us before his 18th birthday.

AoB – no – you’re wrong – if Dean had red carded any Citeh players the story would have changed to “Arsenal only won cos Citeh were down to 10 men”

On the penalty decision from Barney Ronay in the Grauniad:
“It was a cynical little nudge by Kompany on the marauding Nacho Monreal, City’s captain simply blocking Monreal’s run rather than challenging him, and rightly penalised just as the dark arts of shirt pulling and obstruction are deemed to be beyond the pale now.”

What a terrific team performance at the home of the defending champions. Cazorla with another masterful shift. Le Coq making some of the best players in the world look pub players. The ever rugged Bellerin giving the undisputed king of grit James Milner all he could handle and an early shower. Giroud looking determined with a well taken and deserved goal. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Trophy…check. Exotic big money signings…check. Win against the top 4 (and away at that) check. An athletic skillful DM…check. Dropped/loaned out deadwood… check. Win using “tactics” like WOB fan favorite Mourinho…check. Anything else I forgot?

the English pundits proclaim Kompany the best defender in the world, and so they can not point out his mistakes, a clear penalty today but they say it was not, and of course its totally ignored that the build up to the penalty came about when Kompany just fell over near the half way line, losing the ball to ramsey, imagine if that was an Arsenal defender, they would be having a right good laugh at the silly begger.

loomer I have to disagree that this was tactics a la mourinho, the big difference is that unlike Chelsea with their park the bus tactics, was Arsenal defended in numbers, but still attacked in numbers and played to create, not wait for a mistake, but actually force the mistake with attacking football of the highest caliber

When it comes to the team I hate most in football, it’s not Arsenal who have subjected most of my years supporting Spurs to one humiliating capitulation after another whilst watching on enviously as the trophies and plaudits washed across the hearths of both Highbury and The Emirates. It’s not even Chelsea, who spent years playing the playground bully holding the school squirt’s attempts to land a blow on his chin at arm’s length. West Ham? They’ve always been a minor irritation but have never come close to raising my hackles to such an extent that I lose the ability for rational thought. That particular ‘honour’ will always belong to Coventry City. It’s not their association with Richard Keys that sets my teeth on edge, although that doesn’t help. No, the genesis for my myopic brand of loathing can be pinpointed to one particular sunny day. 16th May, 1987. On that day, television build-up began around noon, the outcome of that day we all know, but what truly stung was the realisation that cup win number eight was not as the Cockernee Duo promised, “coming up” and neither were Spurs, “the team, the cream… the best you’ve ever seen”. the illusion of following the “greatest football team the world has ever seen” was shattered and I’ve spent over a quarter of a century attempting to come to terms with that reality. Because of that Cup Final, I laughed heartily when Coventry were finally relegated after years of ‘Great Escapes’ from the Premier League in 2001. Their current battle with demotion in the Championship (whilst having no relevance to me or to Spurs) fills me with a warm, spiteful glow which despite my best efforts, makes me come across as a petty, immature buffoon., I’m publicly drawing a line in the sand here. Coventry City, I bear you malice no longer. Spurs have done all right since, relatively speaking. Gary Mabbutt even laid his own-goal demon to rest by lifting the Cup in ’91. How could the romantic in me begrudge an underdog enjoying its only notable moment in the sun? And as someone pointed out to me the other week, goals like Keith Houchen’s diving header don’t come around too often. If I’m being totally honest, it’s still brilliant after all these years. What kind of person would I be if I couldn’t see, with the benefit of history and reflection, that Coventry City in 1987 deserved their victory.Don’t put up obstacles. Look for solutions. Hate nobody. Unless, it’s John Terry. Hey, I never said I was perfect.
