A while back I wrote an article explaining why I "disliked" a certain team in Manchester...
The article, predictably, caused a bit of a stir, from fans and foes alike.
I was called various names and accused of various things, to an extent that I swore I wouldn't be tempted to write a similar article again.
However I recently received a rather sickening comment on the article from a "fan" of Arsenal. Just to prove I am not biased against Manchester United, and that I do in fact, hate all other 91 league football teams (and most others), I present 10 reasons to hate the Gooners....
1. The fans
Before you all start getting itzy, let me say that this point is directed towards what I would hope is a small minority of Arsenal fans (a minority that didn't seem to prominent at Highbury.
Fair enough Eboue is a bad player. He cheats, he dives, he moans and sulks. But to boo your own player is a stupid thing to do. What good do you think its going to do? Do you think it's going to affect him in a positive way?
As a Liverpool fan I have had to sit through games involving amongst others, Rigobert Song, Igor Biscan, Bjorn Kvarme and even Sean Dundee. If I can sit and give my support to that shower, then you can show a little bit of support too.
2. The "kids are alright" theory
Yes, you're right Mr Wenger. The kids ARE alright. The kids are alright when they are David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes...When they are Nicolas Bendtner you just look like a bit of a dickhead...
Speaking of which....
3. Nicolas Bendtner
I quite like arrogance in a footballer. Supreme confidence inspires yourself and others around you into better performances. Arrogance from players like Eric Cantona and Thierry Henry is a positive trait.
Arrogance is not always a positive thing though....
"Next season, I can finally make my breakthrough and then I still have two years to become better than Zlatan—and I will.
"By then I will be close to my peak and will be able to look upon myself as one of the world’s greatest strikers."
Arrogance from Nicolas Bendtner is the equivalent of an economic lecture from a Zimbabwean finance minister.
One of the world's greatest strikers??? Seriously? Bendtner has one of the worst touches I have ever seen in a football player. Fair enough he scores a few goals, but playing in front of Fabregas you are bound to.
If Bendtner was half as good as he thinks he is, Arsenal fans would not be comparing him with Chris Kiwomya and Francis Jeffers (Google them if you are unaware of the talents of these two greats).
Besides, the tit wears pink boots.
4. Arsenal, "hot stuff"
I picked on Manchester United's "musical" history, and Arsenal deserve the same treatment. Check out this shambles of an attempt at music

Including the immortal words.... "Walking in a Bergkamp wonderland, where Parlour was our Ray of light"...... That's right, pop lyrics written about Ray Parlour....
