villa4europe Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Yeah we'd get the same level of coverage, we'd get different coverage... They'd be sharpening their knives waiting for us to fail but then I think that's true of arsenal 2 or 3 years back too, we'd have the rags chipping away at us trying to spread doubt and negativity This arsenal is different, the media seems to be behind them and enjoying it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is no way we would get the same coverage, just like we didn't in 81 or 82. My initial point was that the media went into overdrive for them beating Man United, wheras we beat them even more convincingly, after a 27 year wait, and got nothing of the sort.

birdman Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Tickets booked for Arsenal match in few weeks! Gonna be a tough one but hope we can get something out of it. I bet Unai is relishing the prospect! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongly suspect the older generation were exactly the same when they were young men. It's just how Londoners are as young men IME. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in there london mancs too I have a couple of good mates who are Arsenal fans who are wonderful. I'm basing most of my opinion on going out to an event for the FA Cup final and having the Arsenal supporters, who greatly outnumbered us, treating the small cohort of Villa fans like absolute shit. It was to the point where my mate didn't really celebrate their win and was very apologetic. Not being league relevant for a decade and falling behind has made them quite bitter IMO. There aren't enough Spurs fans in Adelaide for me to form an opinion on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yeah I'm the same, arsenal fans I know personally are absolutely sound My experience of arsenal fans at the FA Cup final was they're a bunch of words removed, they / we caused as much trouble as I've seen at Wembley and I left in the 80th minute, loads of them outside, fair few gobbing off and getting a slap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Arsenal games have been much about Emi lately with their fans constantly booing him and so on. Now with Emery in charge, those games could become even more personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 So many of their fans in the north stand yesterday. Six around me all making it very obvious. Stewards did nothing except moan at villa fans. Surely villa can find a way to limit this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongVillan Posted February 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2023 Ideally Man city would win the league, and I then was found cheating, so Arse wins it for being second. Won't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
