Apologies for my fellow Gooners...

Hi my Liverpool fans.
It seems as if my fellow Gooners have taken to WUMing your board with repetitive and boring articles about Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson and the such.
I feel obliged to offer my sincere apologies.
Liverpool have given me some of my best memories in football over the years.
The first trophy Arsenal won in my lifetime, when Perry Groves came off the bench to terrorise the Liverpool defence in the 87 Littlewoods Cup final and help turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win, was the start. First game ever Ian Rush scored for you and ended up on the losing side wasn't it?

Then we have the thrilling climax to the 88/89 season. John Barnes crazy decision to try and take on Kevin Richardson in the dying minutes of the game. Lukics throw to Dixon, Dixon to Smith, who in turn flicked it to Michael Thomas. Steve Nicols desperate attempts to stop him, before Thomas's cool finish. Then the attempted somersault, crashing into Martin Hayes.

More recently we have the great game in the "invincible" season. 2-1 down at half time, having been knocked out of the CL and FA Cup in the week before, it wasn't looking good for the Gooners. Then Thierry Henry once again showed why he is one of the greatest players ever in our league and it was soon 4-2, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Yes there have been a few bad moments for me and my Gooners, like when Hleb was blatently dragged back in the CL, should have been a penalty, red card and glory for Arsenal, instead nothing. But I guess you have to take the knocks.

So, as i said before, apologies for the time wasting WUMs that have been bothering you for so long.

I'd like to thank you for providing the world with perhaps the most ridiculous name in world football...

Emmanuel Frimpong

frimpong sounds like a feminine product that women need once a month.......

D'Jeezus, you must have worded it very badly. I'm not the only one who interpreted it as a WUM.

"My Liverpool fans" wasn't meant to suggest you ar fans of me and from Liverpool.
It was meant as you are Liverpool fans and I am talking to you.

Maybe it should have been " Hello my Liverpool supporting friends" or something like that.

My apologies for any confusion.

I'm guessing the reason arsenal fans wum Liverpool is because of all the nonsense Liverpool fans said in the summer like top 4 is in the bag, I even saw a couple of we will challenge for the title. And many more, and there was alot of arsenal wumming on the arsenal board like, crisis, and youve lost your two best players so you're rubbish, I even saw a arsenal might get relegated.

I've not seen a single shred of evidence to back that up.

The REAL reason for all of this is Liverpools summer signings and all the players leaving Arsenal has the aforementioned idiots seeing Liverpool as a genuine threat now. And so looking to try and assert some kind of false authority over Liverpool we get all the nervous insults about how our signings are all useless and that we have no chance of finishing in the top 4.

Yes there are idiots on both sides of the coin, but the presence of Arsenal WUMs going off about Liverpool has certainly increased in recent times. All that does if reflect a fear on their part.
