o how the pressure is getting to some arsenal fans the thought of actually not making 4th seems to have really got to them, credit were its due if they were confident of finishing above us they wouldn't have all of a sudden taking a real interest in our page, bring on sunday

Mike, fair comment but for the last couple of years we have just managed to make 4th spot on the last day of the season.

It could be the same this year. We normally pip Spurs to 4th. It looks like this season you have replaced Spurs, so we are use to the pressure mate.

Sunday will go a long way to deciding the outcome. Can't wait.

Arf-Arf! Very creative and very amusing. Reminds me of some of the humour we used to get posted by Cowpat Sid. Whatever happened to him - haven't seen any posts from him for ages?

Cowpat sid is a legend among football forums globally and has sorely been missed in his absence. Feel like I'm writing a monologue for him, but his banter and jokes were clever and hilarious. Long live cowpat or god rest his soul!

Didn't see the subs there.

Jan Mocha?

Joleon Lescotch.

Does anyone know what has happened to Cowpat Sid?
Do the Eds know if he's still a registered poster?

{Ed025's Note - sorry mate I don't ..

John Stones' Ginger Ale?
Gordon's Gin Lee?
Mick Lyons' Tea Rooms?

He left because he thought he was banned from posting?

I have it on very good authority that Cowpat Sid was banned from posting because one of the Eds got annoyed with him arguing the toss about loan transfers. That's a pity, because his posts were usually interesting and often funny.

{Ed025's Note - i dont recall that hancock mate, but if he abused one of the eds (and im not saying he did) he would be sanctioned..

Ed025 - I was told that the other Ed just got annoyed with a thread of posts about the rules for loan transfers. I don't believe that Cowpat Sid would ever have abused anyone - Ed or ordinary poster - but he might have given someone the hump over a particular subject. Only your fellow Ed will know what happened. Anyway, there are plenty of other good posts on this site to enjoy.

{Ed025's Note - your right mate, but i would still like to hear from him, maybe the compulsory registration put him off, as he used to post under several names..

Ed025 - you're right about him posting under different names, but they were all registered. I know this because I am Cowpat Sid. Honestly - this isn't an "I am Spartacus" moment :-)
The username "Cowpat Sid" is banned - and I don't know the reason - but if it is un-banned, then I'll login in and stop using the other user names. I have also been recently posting as Gabriel. Sorry to be so devious - I hope it doesn't get me banned - but I was never told why Cowpat Sid was banned. I'm sure that I was never abusive or offensive - others might not have liked my comments or humour, but one of the other Eds clearly took umbrage at a tread about rules for loan transfers and banned my user name.
Peace and understanding to all.

{Ed025's Note - nice to have you back on board mate, just a point, multiple user names are not allowed, if you could just register under one that will be fine..cheers..

Ed025 - thanks.
As soon as Cowpat Sid is un-banned, I'll unregister the couple of other names that I've been using in the meantime and start using Cowpat Sid again.
Once again, apologies for using multiple names, but I never was told why I was banned as Cowpat Sid.
It'll be good to be back.

As usual the press eagerly jump on any opportunity to move our players on to others or back to lending clubs.
Latest one, Barcelona cannot sign any more players so Del boy has to go back!
Has no hack actually thought that if they sell one or two (which they will) their problem is sorted.
As European Champions League semi finalists they are not really in brown underpants country!

That Barca transfer ban needs overturning. It isn't fair on Clevs, who will have to wait a while until he gets his dream move.

{Ed025's Note - love it mike.. :)

Theres always Bayern Munich Mike, best team on the planet will obviously want the best player, I've heard a sneaky rumour that the Koppites are looking at him and John Henry is preparing a £55 million pound bid with wages of £310k a week, that would take him above Rooneys salary, he certainly has the world at his feet

{Ed025's Note - its a pity all his problems start..when the ball is at his feet murph.. :)

That 55 million bid could actually be TRUE after all they did pay 35 million for Andy the donkey Carroll

To Dagger Gooner (and any other Arsenal fans who have popped in)

It's all banter. The problem isn't so much what you write more the tone it's written. Banter is usually good natured and fun. But when you get the bit between the teeth your posts are pretty snide and hostile. This big club small club rubbish should have been left behind in the playground long ago. It also brings out an emotional and sometimes ugly reaction from our own fans. On any given day ask a blue their thoughts on Arsenal and I'm sure you'll find most speak with admiration and respect.

I look at Arsenal and I see a side similar in philosophy to us. Our cause is based around a desperate bid to get into that top 4. Yours is that desperate bid to get back those glory years where you were winning the title and winning it with style, not labouring towards it because your rivals capitulate. Both different causes but not lightyears apart. We have to compete with teams who spend an absolute fortune on wages and transfer fees in comparison to us. So do you (although to an extent that's because of your managers own philosophy, a debate you lads no doubt have amongst yourselves). Both our clubs are prudent with the resources they have. We both have to rely on producing players from the academy or buying players with potential and watching that potential unravel. We then have to see the fruits of those labours sold off to the highest bidder each season. To an extent our clubs both suffer from bottleitis. Several times over the last few seasons we have been on the edge of something we would consider achievement. Several times we have bottled it when it matters most. It's the same with you guys. You can't deny you've been let down by your team in big matches during that 9 year wait.

Both our managers try to play the game in the right way, you've known nothing else for nearly 20 years. But for us blues (especially the younger ones) we are new to this. Whatever a persons perception of Everton was under Moyes it can't be the same under Martinez, we are a transformed side. We go into every game believing we can win and in my opinion, on our day, very few sides can live with us. It would be foolish for a blue to say our squad is better blah blah blah. Arsenal have a host of world class players. But it would be foolish for someone else to write our squad off. At the end of the day 4 points separates us and we still have a game in hand. For me, that deserves respect considering the two sides who are immediately below us. Based on bank balance alone we should be nowhere near as far up as we are. But we are and I don't see that changing for a while.

The beauty of the game this weekend is that one of us won't bottle it. If it's a draw then that means in the 2 games we have played in the league nothing separates us. But it's Everton v Arsenal, Martinez v Wenger, do you think either will set out for a draw? Hell no. So may the best team win and whatever the result I hope the losing sides fans accept that and give praise where praise is due. And if your a neutral, sit back and enjoy what will no doubt be a thrilling game between two sides who try and play the game in the right way.

{Ed025's Note - thats a cracking post oli..respect mate..

This is all my fault and for that I apologise. I called Arsenal crap, which they obviously aren't. I posted a jokey Arsenal/Everton comparison just so I could use a Ox/Gibbs gag. (I don't think all our players are better than theirs).

I am going to do an Alan Pardew and ban myself from posting for a while now.

{Ed025's Note - dont do that mike, i for one enjoy your posts mate..

Hows about this for a truce, the way Chelski are self destructing, we could both finish above them. That would be both sweet and a victory for the way football should be played!

02 Apr 2014 17:18:49
Dont you dare Mike, a lot of us come on here for enjoyment and you provide that, That Southern softie took it too seriously bud

You didn't really believe that post did you ed? Me apologising is not going to happen. It's not my fault if others can't take a joke.

{Ed025's Note - i expect nothing less mike...

Oli Jennings,

Sir, that is just the most amazing post I have ever come across.

Total respect to your unbiased views.

Nice one Mike and keep them coming. I for one would miss your tongue in cheek comments if you decided to keep quiet. Great post Oli after 24 hours of debate on the Arsenal /Liverpool dating agency. Ed025's put downs were classic though and made me chuckle especially as the RS couldn't remain silent over on THEIR site. That tells you everything.

Gent's,

What's with all the animosity?

Chill out.

Real Mike. Mate, I think we got off on the wrong foot because I quite like you and admire your knowledge.

You were correct to pick up on my point about our injuries. You mentioned that Walcott was our only long term injury but you forgot Aaron Ramsey, who got injured Boxing Day.

He had 13 goals at the time, I do believe that's pretty much more than any of your players have at this moment on time, but I'm happy to be corrected.

Blue Tommy, AKA Clown Boy. Really mate? Is that it?
such limited vocabulary and not even worth a response.
Somebody comes on your page, a banter page and uses banter and they are a clown.
Notice I used the word banter a lot. Look it up or ask an adult what it means.

DaveyBoy Blue.
have you ever posted on here without using the word Liverpool?
BTW, I respect your geographical knowledge mate. West Ham is 5 minutes down the road from me, but thankfully my dad was a Gooner.

Gent's, seriously chill out.
I'm not one of the bad guys but some of you need to relax, honestly.
I know your neighbour's are doing well but come on, deep breaths and relax. Jealousy is a demon.

By the way. If you boys beat us on Sunday I would be the first to congratulate you on your victory. Time will tell.

PS, Is that ok Ed025? (smiles)

PPS, you boys can ask Ed025. I was singing your praises on the Arsenal site a few day's ago, so come on, play fair and stop being so nasty.

Stay sweet you beautiful Toffee's.

{Ed025's Note - thats fine mate..

It was me that pointed out about your 3-4 best players out injured claim. Did realise after I sent it about Ramsey and what a season he was having but 6 months of playing well doesn't put him in your top 4 players surely?
Like the way us blues stick up for each other but Agee with you that some of the responses on here are very child like. Think it will be a close game on Sunday. Even if we win we have a hard run in but will be happy with a euro spot if we don't get 4th.
Best of luck to arsenal, played well up until the last month.

So you attempt to insult my use of lexicon, therefore my intelligence, and then say "chill out, let's be civil". Rather paradoxical don't you think? I already feel that my intellectual capacity has declined by replying to this post, so I'll keep it short and sweet. In the interests of peace and love I shall accept your truce, as quite simply, I have better things to do with my day. And rest assured, irrespective of the result on Sunday, I shall not be going on the Arsenal banter page giving it the big one.

I don't have any problem with you DG mate.

If Arsenal win on Sunday, then fair play, you deserve to finish 4th. If we win though, then it's game on. A draw should see Arsenal just hang on to it.

Yaaaawwwwnnnnn! Can I just say that the mighty blues will sneak it 2-1 on sunday? I am the alcohol genie and I have foreseen the result get to the bookies lads. coyb

Thought I needed to post this after spending at least 20 minutes trawling the Arsenal page. Ed 025 (and to some extent 007) has defended himself magnificently in the debate regarding the Arsenal/Liverpool brown nosing. It's interesting to note that there have been more Kopites who have taken offence on the Arsenal site than Gooners! All they do is post remarks like "we never thought we would win it when you were top and we were 4th, so all the best for the FA Cup".
This arse licking is nauseating and basically fickle. There's only one reason for it and that's because they're now fishing for compliments with the trophy in their sights.
God I hope that's not the case. Come on Citeh.

Well you and your ed showed why you are called bitters

{Ed025's Note - it's only your lot that call us that reet..we are passionate about our club, and are quite frankly sick of your clubs supporters treating us as inferior, so if that's being bitter....then yes that's us..

No harm meant ed
just trying to winnd you lot up mate
Just got a little irritated by the way everton fsns are celebrating about what happened on the arsenal page

{Ed025's Note - its all good reet..

So flamini is a quality player because he has winners medals. So Traore is a good player because he won champions league.

Celebrating? Simply pointing out a few home truths reet. If your season depends upon self congratulating yourselves and brown nosing with the Arse then I feel sorry for you.
