Born & Bred in South London..........supporting Arsenal

[PalazioVecchio]

....don't even get me started about this one. Traitors one and all.

An Arsenal shirt in Croydon (apart from visiting match-days like today) is more offensive than a shirt of Brighton, Millwall or Charlton... Especially if it is accompanied by a South London accent. Discuss

And of course it is doubly irritating when the Arsenal supporter is running up and down Selhurst in a Palace shirt. Zaha, Eze etc.....although i will accept that every football club's squad is littered with divided football loyalties. We all make compromises when trying to earn a buck.

Wandering past shirts of Arsenal, ManUre, Liverpool etc over here in ireland, no problem. Its geographically neutral territory although i smile on the rare occasion i ever see Brighton/Millwall/Charlton. But South London ? its Eagles country.

And a question : Are Arsenal the number one Cuckoo-in-our-nest ? or would that accolade go to another big club ?

Glory hunters one and all. Expect to see more around but it would be a great laugh if we manage to pull off a win today in front of the world’s TV audience. This is our 50th televised match this season so they are getting to know the new powerhouse in world football !!!

Seen arsenal shirts / caps on adults and kids around Selsdon all week since they won league. Bet they have never been to a match. Glory hunters! Mind you I’m taking my Palace shirt to Seville next week. Anyone know of a decent bar to watch our game at?

Over the years I've been able to guess what football team a young black man from south London supports.

Almost 100 percent it's Arsenal.

Supporting Palace since the 70s there were very few black palace supporters .

I always thought this a shame, as football can bring communities together. Also we would have a better team.

Correct. And a lot of white traitors support Chelsea.

and a certain Tooting Lad. The Mayor of London. Dreaming of walking past the civic offices on the way to a match.....on Merseyside.

Google tells me the Late QEII also supported Arsenal. Its ok cos Buckingham Palace is North of the River, different Palace to us. Her sitting with the Queen Mother in the drawing room. Watching the tiny telly. I wonder if she swore much while watching a game. "oi, referee, him wuz offside you Raasclart"

Seen a couple, a 468 bus driver with his Ar**nal scarf made me laugh. The Man City, Man Utd, and Liverpool shirts and scarves have been folded away for the time being.

Have to suspect his "support" comes from some sort of Eton in-joke - David Cameron was there and is supposed to be a Villa fan too (when he isn't confusing them with the Happy Hamsters of Stratford).
