THE BRICKFIELDS GUNNERS ‘ LIFE’S LESSONS 101 FOR ‘them’ –
After posting a funny piece on the comment pages of UA at http://untold-arsenal.com/
And seeing all the crap comments being posted over the last few days, I too want to join in the spirit of throwing!
So here we go …….
LESSON ONE (Revised.) BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS AKBs .
DANGEROUS: Who died and made you AKBs king?
SAFER: I fully understand your commitment and passion.
SAFEST: I bow before your age, superior intellect and wisdom .
ULTRA SAFE: Here, have some more wine .
SUPERULTRA SAFE: I think I ‘ll just scarper off and leave this site to you.
.
LESSON TWO. WHEN EXPLAINING YOUR PLAYING EXPERIENCE –
DANGEROUS: I played in the ……………( Fill in name of league -eg , Micky Mouse , Peanuts , Juvenile or Prison ….etc)
SAFER: I once played for North / South England School Boys ‘ vs the Channel Islanders .
SAFEST: I was the top player in my school /village / factory till ……….(state nature of injury, indiscretion or crime.)
ULTRA SAFE: I was an average player, but did spend much time studying the game while frequently on the bench.
STUPID: I am the current champion of the FIFA , EUFA , EPL, SKY , SUN , TALKSHITE or …….. Fantasy League.
‘ them ‘: I could have been a great player , if I was not untimely incarcerated at HRM’s pleasure . After all, my only crimes were that showed my privates to some birds and shot at some guy all just for a lark.
.
LESSON THREE. IN EXPLAINING WHY YOU ARE MORE QUALIFIED THAN ARSENE WENGER –
DANGEROUS: I have managed teams in the …(xyz)…League , following the principles of the great Charles Hughes, Don Revie and the Moaning one.
SAFER: I once managed a very excitable team of mixed / indeterminate genders and it was such a carefree and gay affair .
SAFEST: I like to think of myself as an ardent student/learner of the game and have read many books by all the top managers.
ULTRA SAFE: I have watched hours and hours of Youtube videos of famous great managers and have gleaned much.
STUPID: I am the current champion of the FIFA , EUFA , EPL, SKY , SUN, TALKSHITE or….. Fantasy League.
‘ them ‘ – How hard could it really be ? Just pick and buy your top eleven World Class players and , hey presto you’re done !
.
LESSON FOUR. MANAGING THE CLUB THE RIGHT WAY –
DANGEROUS: Spend our fucking money on new players , get a new manager , reduce ticket prices and don’t take any more money out of the club, Stan!
SAFER: Spend only half of that 250 million in the bank on new players now , we may need fresh reinforcements in January .
SAFEST: Just buy a World Class striker and a WC Central Defender and I know that all our lives will change for the better .
ULTRA SAFE: Bring the major shareholders to the negotiating table and get them to settle their differences and to contribute even more money.
STUPID: ARSEXIT out the foreign shareholders , Ivan Gazidis, the French manager, the useless medical staff and bring in …………… (?) Someone who has some experience in similar exits.
‘ them’ – We want ‘our ‘ Arsenal back. Back to the greatness (?) that was, and that is due only to us . Our rightful birthright.
.
LESSON FIVE: MY IMPRESSIVE KNOWLEDGE AND EDUCATION.
DANGEROUS: I qualified with a Summa Cum Laude from the University of life’s hard knocks .
SAFER: I picked up very valuable tips from the ‘gang’ on the dole queue and at the pub afterwards.
SAFEST: I read all the sportspages while waiting in the dole queue , and absorb much from the sports programmes on tv at the pub.
ULTRA SAFE: I read all the blogs with an open mind and try to make informed choices and opinions , without any feelings of angst or anger.
STUPID:All my understanding comes from reading The Sun and watching MOTD – many of their experts were great England internationals. Some even managed clubs.
‘ them ‘ – Piers Morgan and Talkshite are for me , like the nectar of the gods , and my cup runneth over .
To be continued …… go on , feed me with some more ammunition so that I can fire back.
Thank you .

brickfield that’s waaaay too much for “them” to understand.
they will keep on coming my KL’s homie, but as usual i think u are more than capable to teach ‘them’ concrete thinker some lesson + manner about respect. but i suspect when it involving AW even it is a positive thing’ about a life lesson for example, they will not take it kindly mostly cos all their feeling toward AW has become so toxic and turn into hatred. but u already cast your line into the water, if they take the bait we will see how negative and idiot some people really are. keep exposing them’ BG
How self centred and bitter my nephew says. I always say funny people do not have to say they funny. Them are funny and humble. Some like BG never learn. That is funny.
Top class Bricks me old mucker! More more more!
Ubuntu!
this one guy keep talking about his nephew, why i’m not surprise when some adult behave like petulant childish kids. it turn out when a grown man takes child words literally, they started to behave like one(catch my drift). people like this cannot be help anymore, dont be surprise if they start to show pattern of mourinho like behavior (u know the one that abused woman for no reason, turn out she just doing her job). such a shame some of them were (barely)supporting (mostly moaning and protest) the same club as i am. what more can i say, sometime life is unfair.
This is pathetic…
here is the headline of a Telegraph story that is online :
“Jose Mourinho Man Utd Paul Pogba transfer Arsenal Wenger”
Is this english, I mean the language of Shakespeare, the one spoken in England ? or just some words piled unpon one another ?
The more I think about it, the more I am getting convinced that this whole blogosphere is just robots building stories by putting together words and paragraphs taken from other sources.
Guess it just justifies me coming here….
westwing
Yes, I know how you feel.
It’s called self delusion, hubris or just plain “up your own arse” (most appropriate on an Arsenal blog).
Roll on the start of the football season and we can get rid of this sort of crap.
The brilliance of this will certainly be lost on everyone who clicks the dislike button……..which merely serves to demonstrate it’s truth……
Odd , very Odd
Leon
Self delusion,hubris etc, etc
Kettle have you meet pot
Gunnerjoe
Whatever!
Leon
Good teenage girls reply
What’s next omg
WOW ! Only 13 Dislikes ? Must be losing my edge ! Or I might have stunned ‘them’ into awed silence and may have incapacitated their mental faculties . Not that they had much to start with !
And since I notice that most of ‘them’ don’t seem to enjoy it , I’ll endeavour to post more articles such as this .
WOO HOO , HOO , to the rest of the regulars ! Thank you guys . Keep on smiling .
Up the Gunners !
And continuing in our attempts to improve the mindset and thus the enjoyment of Arsenal fans , here is an interesting piece titled ….
WHAT IS MATURITY ?
by Adi Shankara
1. Maturity is when you stop trying to change others, …instead focus on changing yourself.
2. Maturity is when you accept people as they are.
3. Maturity is when you understand everyone is right in their own perspective.
4. Maturity is when you learn to “let go”.
5. Maturity is when you are able to drop “expectations” from a relationship and give for the sake of giving.
6. Maturity is when you understand whatever you do, you do for your own peace.
7. Maturity is when you stop proving to the world, how intelligent you are.
8. Maturity is when you don’t seek approval from others.
9. Maturity is when you stop comparing with others.
10. Maturity is when you are at peace with yourself.
11. Maturity is when you are able to differentiate between “need” and “want” and are able to let go of your wants.
and last but most meaningful !
12. You gain Maturity when you stop attaching “happiness” to material things !!
Wishing all AKBs out there a happy matured life.
Dear Mr. Adi Shankara ,
Having read your very enlightening piece on “What is maturity ?” , I wish to inform you that while most of your points are more than acceptable to me , yet there are a few that I have certain concerns with.
I read a very good ,informative and intelligent football blog called Untold Arsenal that in essence follows nearly all of you suggestions ; but there are group of people whom we shall ‘them’ , who are totally out of whack with reality , yet insist on coming and talking utter poppycock ( to put it mildy !), and exhibiting their stupidity ,despite being mentally overwhelmed by the regulars , the famed , AKBs.
So I will now try my best toenlarge upon my personal discombobulations – vis-à-vis – ‘them’ .
Number 1. – Done . No arguments from me.
2. I do try and accept that many of ‘them’ are immature and stupid . But the degree of it is what astonishes me !
3. No way , Jose ! Not if their perspective is through their arses !
4. , 5. & 6. – No issues there .
7. I don’t really have to try very hard to prove it , but ‘them’ fools keep reminding me of it !
8., 9 , & 10 . – Again , all good .
11. Is wanting Arsenal to do and play the right way , a ‘need’ or a ‘want’ ?
12. BINGO !
So I do hope you are able to answer favourably to my present conundrum.
Thank you .
Yours in the search of enlightenment ,
The Brickfields Gunners .
Thank you Leon and seems Bushido is type who has seen little of Arsenal who I watched when a shilling was the price and who is easy upset. Must be older than Chief Arsene and may they send each other signals of smoke. Poor Brickman keep trying but end of the pier warm up my missus say. That is funny too.
ohh pity old westwing, been watching Arsenal for many years he said but still dont know what his club philosophy and how it should be for certain type of supporter who understand the value and what his or her club stand for plus they can be proud of their club heritage. seem to me poor old westwing is the type who want his club to be let astray and copied the way of other club with rich owner who in a turn of the new millennium, yet to built their new stadium or stadium is given to them by the tax payer.
Leon
So if you paid a shilling to get in to the manor ground you where robbed.
All joking aside when did you pay a shilling to get in to Highbury and how many trophies did win.
Gunnerjoe
If you’d just stop your trolling for a moment and check, you’ll see that it was westwing who paid “a shilling”. He must go back a long way. Unlike some of the waggon jumpers this blog attracts.??
Hello Leon again and yes when Baker and Eastham were playing and 12 and bit to enter North Bank. Have problem writing like Joe has reading. He sound like he must think Holloway on Mars. As faraway as the brick that told jokes.
Westwing
Absolutely right.
I think Gunnerjoe has made up his mind he’s going to troll me. No problem, he’s not very bright (as you say) and probably never even been to a match, like Brickfields who’s such an expert.
some(fr4ud) don’t need to be troll cos here at UA we already knew what type of person some people really are.(just look at that card u keep playing) probably never even been to a match u keep saying to other people, seriously u need to grow up fast. if u think EPL is just for people in the UK why the club keep reaching out to fans all over the globe? playing match in Asian, America and other part of the world to make the brand known globally. i already told u people who live in the glass house shouldn’t throw stone but apparently u sort of type who don’t even understand the meaning of your own language. i already made it clear if people take the bait we will see what type of stage or ability of some people mind is really are.
