Tastes Like Chicken [TotalFark] 2008-01-23 05:07:40 PM  
You mean they usurped the San Diego Chargers?

 
timmy_the_tooth [TotalFark] 2008-01-23 05:36:50 PM  
not even close (Chelsea) but (Man U) this is the worst headline to ever receive a green...

Come on, I have to beg to get an official discussion forum headline greenlit and this steaming pile of Hotspur goes up? I mean seriously, that's a load of Tottenham, that is.

/good teams never lose gracefully, the only problem people have with Arsenal is that everyone loves to hate on Arsenal.
//I hear Leeds United are very graceful losers

Worse than Newcastle? Impressive. Course the Newcastle players don't head butt each other mid game on purpose.

Plus they have Arse in their name.

I had a sneaking suspicion you didn't submit this ;)

I totally submit Anti-Arsenal stuff, but mine are funny.

Who usurped the Seattle Seahawks. West Coasters need to take a chill pill.

yes, it's strictly a West Coast phenomenon..

I think the internet would kill itself if it had to listen to all the whining from Patriots fans if they lose the Superbowl.

well, fully green.

This headline called "worst headline in TF's SportsbyBrooks Tab."

We Raider fans are now experts at losing after our rage about the tuck rule.

I just worry that we might become poor winners, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Soccer: a wonderful, entertaining sport featuring the greatest skill and talent in the world, put on for the entertainment of drunken gangs of imbecilic, uneducated, uncomprehending morons who want only a generally accepted excuse to hate and belittle other people.

I love the sport, but my god am I sick of everything around it. The only thing worse is hockey fans, and it's really close.

 
4NSpy 2008-01-23 06:33:20 PM  
oh, and I want to cast a vote for Roddick for his performance at the Aus open recently. Handled that loss pretty well.

 
TonnageVT [TotalFark] 2008-01-23 06:36:29 PM  
I'll be the first to say that Fergie LOVES blaming the refs during a draw and losses, but Arsene is no saint. All teams yell at each other when they mess up on the pitch, but few get physical about it.

/I miss the days of the bickering between Fergie, Wenger and Jose
//Rafa just sucks and is too busy arguing with his bosses.

 
wingwang 2008-01-23 06:41:42 PM  
at least they're not the worst winners in sport (obligatory derogatory pats tie-in, atory)

 
priestrape 2008-01-23 06:42:32 PM  
So now someone is saying the Patriots are among the worst losers in sports, in a season in which they haven't lost?

I give up

 
Kornchex [TotalFark] 2008-01-23 06:46:41 PM  
Wow. I was just checking to see if any moronic Farkers were going to mention the Chargers. Way to take the cake, and on the Boobies Tastes Like Chicken!

It's odd that you saw a thread about the world's worst sore losers and your first thought was, "I wonder if someone mentioned the Chargers."

It's almost as if you expected it.

Hmmmm

He said "if", not saying pats are "bad losers", but he is making a prediction that this might be the case. I'm not saying i agree with him, as he took if from "teams being bad losers" to "fans being bad losers". I just don't see Billy B "whimpering in defeat like a spoiled child who's had his lollipop snatched" like the arsenal manager.

It's a shame nobody really cares about that side of the club whatsoever.

Arsenal don't give a shiat about the Carling Cup. Never have. If you want to see some serious bad losing, wait until United do them over in the League.

Well I'm glad we both agree that the San Diego Chargers are some of the worst sore losers in the world. High five!

 
nickeyx 2008-01-23 08:00:13 PM  
They've clearly never met anybody from Boston, shiat they don't even know how to take winning the right way.

Tastes Like Chicken

Please don't turn this into another Pats/Chargers hate thread. I'm tired of coming in here defending the Chargers only to have someone tell me to eat my ****, **** out my **** and then eat the **** that I ****ed out made up of my old ****.

/go Liverpool!

 
TDUsGamer 2008-01-23 08:06:45 PM  
Every team has douchebag fans and a couple douchebag players. For every preggo-dumping Tom Brady, there's a cheerful and awesome Junior Seau. For every whiny upset LaDainian Tomlinson, there's a volunteering, team-leading LaDainian Tomlinson. For every pissy, cranky Arsene Wenger, there's a...

there's a...

seconded on the greenlight, but at least it wasn't "why pansy soccer is teh gay!!"

/personally i prefer to hate on united, chelsea, tottenham, middlesboro then arsenal
//author made a good point about wenger being the sorest loser in the league - "you say my players stabbed someone? i did not see eet, all i saw was my players being bullied and cheated"

Stop whining. The only thing I know about British soccer is they're a bunch of homosexuals in short pants who clutch their knees a lot and say stuff like "Blimey, that was a corking googly," and stuff when something happens, which is basically all I need to know to write the headline. If you want intelligent discourse, it's not gonna be initiated by me.

Which is a very long way to say you know nothing about British soccer.

now you're haikuing intentionally...

which makes me laugh.

I was just making the point that possibly the most rabid fans I have ever seen outside of say, Ultras, are Patriot fans. and may your god protect us if they lose the superbowl, because if the whining about "spygate" is any indication we may be in for an internet sports Armageddon.

Timmy, I think you're confusing the people whining about spygate. It's not the Patriots supporters, it's the guys who follow the Colts, Chargers, Jets, etc. Every Patriot fan just wants the shiat to stop.

Anyways I seriously doubt that Arsenal are the worst. They're not good losers by any means but off all the bat-shiat crazy teams in South American and Eastern European countries there has to be some worse ones.

They certainly do suck at losing.
