@chopaganda @BEK97 in some way true, but is anyone really the Jets….I mean they would’ve been relegated by now. Tottenham is typically a top 6 team over the last several years. But, yeah, I’m a Mets fan and picking Tottenham instead of Arsenal(Yankees) or Chelsea as a London team, was bit risky. My son is a huge Chelsea fan, that’s also a good club to follow now that their oligarch is gone.
Black-Eyed Katydid@Phreba @chopaganda I didn't see your latest reply before my last one. The Yankees comp gives me pause.
@chopaganda @BEK97 maybe, but Man U is in Manchester, not North London. City used to be a middling team until oil money came in 10 yrs ago. The point is, Arsenal are the easy team to pick in North London as they’ve won 13 first division titles, second only to Man U. There’s a reason they were broadcast to Americans(late 90’s early 00’s on MSG) earlier than any other team and why there is so many arsenal fans.
@chopaganda @BEK97 it’s true though, I’ve always viewed arsenal as the mainstream team. Maybe it’s because I’ve paid attention to international football for 25-30 years that I always view Arsenal as a powerhouse.

@chopaganda @BEK97 @Phreba I second this. My view isn’t entirely objective as I’m a big Arsenal fan, but I’ve never viewed them as the Premier League’s Yankees.
(They’re way more fun to root for than the Yankees, I’d imagine)
@Nolasox @chopaganda @BEK97 they’re second to Man U in titles, only one behind. And have won more FA cups than any team, oh and they hail from the biggest city where they’re the big brother of teams.
a fischer in the sea@Nolasox @chopaganda @BEK97 @Phreba yeah I think Chelsea under Abramovich is more comparable to Yankees under Steinbrenner. Including the manager firings.😉. And rehirings.
Drew but 7/27/25 GA ➡️ Reprise@chopaganda @BEK97 @Phreba The most accurate Arsenal comp is Michigan. Used to be great and their fans still act like it's 20 years ago. Love you, Chop! 😘
@drewphish @BEK97 @Phreba I know you said this to piss me off, but that’s not a bad comp.
- Formerly a perennial contender but never among the truly elite.
- Had a rough period where they got away from their traditional values and lost ground vs the competition
- Now under a resurgence after getting back to their roots with Harbaugh/Arteta
@chopaganda @BEK97 @Phreba @Nolasox Oh I made the comp because it was a good comp and because it would piss you off. Although I think the playing the right way and traditional values stuff is an eye roll. I just think they are both run better now on a bunch of levels.
@drewphish @BEK97 @Phreba @Nolasox Traditional values was a gross way of putting it. What I’m getting at is Harbaugh and Arteta brought back a team identity that was lacking.
