    Read my post again I specifically said that I can UNDERSTAND when he declines a drink with people like Hughes or Pulis, but why does he not drink with the other managers, who have no quarrel with him? Most other managers (including the foreign ones) do, so why shouldn't he?

    I think what many people don't want to admit when they claim Arsenal have more "class" than others is that the real meaning of this statement is that Arsenal have more affluent, middle class supporters and somehow automatically that makes us "better" than others. I think this is what that poster at the Emirates really meant, and it's a form of class snobbery that is extremely unappetising.

    How do you feel when our supporters sing "by far the greatest team the world has ever seen"?

    That's a bit different though isn't it? I don't think supporters obviously truly believe we are the greatest football team alive, but it's the sort of chant every football club's supporters partake in. However, the constant claims about being more classy than the rest is taken seriously, even though the evidence doesn't back it up.

    Sure but it still ignores all the dubious points you mention out of pride for the club they support, I'd have thought it might make you cringe a little bit. The point I am getting at, is that you can throw inaccuracy out of the window when it comes to attending a football match.

    What about the alternate version of 'Carefree' directed towards Chelsea? And that's sung by Liverpool most notably. There are so many examples of inaccurate digs/full-blown insults in football from rival supporters to another, it's just like you're searching every to discredit Arsenal in every way you can. You go much further than merely being upset about our on the field performances, you do a holistic club assassination.

    Wenger improving the diet of his players is akin to cheating?
