Deluded?

Also, judging form some comments in this thread, and things I've read on here in the past, why do people sign up to other club's forums? A lot of people seem to sign up to RAWK, and people on here are saying you get banned for disagreeing with Liverpool fans on their forums, which implies that they've signed up to a Liverpool forum? I don't get it? I've never thought of signing up to another club's forum.

How did you come across this, Chris? Do you frequent Liverpool forums?

People were laughing at it on Arsenal-Mania talking about how thick Liverpool fans are.

Bit like you Scott.. betting 2 people £50 Liverpool would finish higher than Arsenal, with 10 games to go you're nowhere near us. You're the typical deluded Liverpool fan. How's it feel being so thick?

To be fair, it took a bit of luck on Arsenal's behalf to get that far ahead. Coming back against a complacent Spurs, beating Liverpool in the last minute after being dominated all game and scoring an injury time winner against Newcastle.

Still 30 points to play for. Arsenal tend to have poor run-in form. Think how quickly you closed the gap on Spurs. Went from 10 points to 1 in a matter of 2-3 weeks. Who's to say Arsenal won't bottle it, like they always do?

I have no qualms in paying up either.

When this purple patch is over, it'll be back to normal, with Arsenal fans whinging in the Arsenal thread, and no Arsenal fans trolling because they know they're not in a position to troll.

Smashing Spurs after they went 2-0 up isn't luck, being clinical against Liverpool isn't luck and fighting until the end against Newcastle isn't exactly luck. You make your own luck in football. We didn't exactly have 3 goals awarded that were offside or some shit like that.

We've also won 7-1 against Blackburn and 2-1 at Sunderland in our last 5 league games too.

I don't get what the fuck you're on about. We are happy right now because we're in good form, why shouldn't we be? I'm not happy with the season overall, I think it's still a complete failure but there's nothing wrong with us enjoying this run we're on right now....

Arsenal have never bottled making the top 4 under Wenger, 15 season's in a row we have been in the Champions League.

See Scott, you're doing it again.. being the optimistic thick as pig shit Liverpool fan who thinks they can make the ground up and finish above Arsenal. LMAO

I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the Arsenal fans on their high horse, trying to troll Liverpool fans. Like the creator of this thread.

You have to admit the Liverpool game was undeserved. The better team lost.

Spurs got complacent and fucked up.

Newcastle game was very one-sided in Arsenal's favour, so I'll give you that one.

Beating a 10 man Blackburn is hardly impressive.

You scored a last minute goal against Sunderland, when a draw was probably the fair result.

Scott...You are on the high horse. You are an attention seeking moron who openly admits to trolling constantly just for the attention you get

Did I say we'd make up the ground and finish above you? No. You're putting words into my mouth. I said who knows? I don't think it will happen, but stranger things have happened in the past.

There is nothing trolling about this thread.. its simply observing how thick fans can be. Its ironic that one of the fans from the same team we are laughing at comes in and starts being the optimist.. it just proves the point further.

You're a bit think if you think I'm being an optimist right now.

I've not been very optimistic about Liverpool all season. Ask anyone in the Liverpool thread.

Ah well, optimism is always a nice thing to have. You hardly look at the premiership and go "hmm, we've spent 100M and we have "the king" back. Yeah, we'll end up with 40 some points".

Uhm ok. What exactly do you think fanatics and extremists mean? I have a feeling you missunderstand the term.

Why don't you explain what you mean by it seeing you said it. There is nothing extreme about football fans who communicate via an internet forum.

A fanatic is someone who takes support far more seriously than your average fan. Those who see themselves as an extension of what they are a fan of. You do not necessarily need to be insane or disturbed to be a fanatic, not at all. Most if not all "ultras" are fanatics, yet most of them are perfectly sane people. A good example of a fanatic is someone who hears the club they support be criticized and instantly jumps to their defence regardless of the criticism simply because they see it as a personal attack. Of which there are quite a few on these forums. That goes for all single-issue forums, science-fiction shows, fantasy books, football clubs etc...

An extremist is someone who has views that the average fan would not share. Delusion is a form of extremism, believing and not just "saying" that Liverpool have the best players in the world is extremist, because the average fan would not agree with it. They would say Liverpool have good players, but not the best in the world. Likewise saying Liverpool have the worst players in the world is extremist. It's simply taking an opinion and dragging it to the extreme.

Instead of believing Liverpool have good players, they have the best players. Instead of believing Liverpool have a slightly weak playing squad, it has the weakest. These are both views that are "extreme".

What you call extremists everyone else calls thick people.
