How Stoke Supporters Revealed Themselves As Scum

[Deleted]

I really f****** hate Stoke City. I can tell you, I was there in 2010, in the away end. As it happened, I was right next to the home fans, separated only by the section of empty seats covered by a banner. When Aaron Ramsey was lying on the floor, holding his leg in agony, it wasn’t clear what had happened, but we knew it was something serious, such was the panic exuded by the surrounding Arsenal players. I remember exclaiming, ‘Jesus Christ, his foot is hanging off’. The whole away end stood in near silence, with fearful whispers the sole source of noise. All we could do was pray it wasn’t as bad as it looked.

For a portion of the Stoke fans to my right, however, it was a laugh, a chance for a bit of banter. “One leg! He’s only got one leg!” they sung, while hopping around on one foot. This was not banter. This was sick. And it wasn’t just one or two drunken, immature teenagers. It was grown men.

Then came the universal “One Ryan Shawcross” chant, sung from all corners of the home end. Disgusting. My blood boils to this day at the memory of this. A teenager writhing around in excruciating pain having had his leg snapped into pieces, and 25,000 fans – men, women and children – were singing in support of the person who did it. At no other club in the Premier League would this happen or be deemed acceptable. By this point, the coins had started to fly, and several Arsenal supporters behind me were getting thrown out. It was a toxic atmosphere, more so than any trip to White Hart Lane or Stamford Bridge I’ve made as an Arsenal supporter in the last couple years.

The wild celebrations that followed Cesc Fabregas‘s late, match-winning penalty were not just about the three points. It was a goal for Aaron, and my word, it shut those c**** in the home end up. Thomas Vermaelen wrapped things up moments later, and it was job done. The venomous atmosphere spilled out onto the streets, and numerous scuffles and arrests ensued.

While we left the ground delighted, praising the strength of character shown by our players, there was also a sense of insignificance about the result, in the backdrop of Ramsey’s injury. Thankfully he has recovered and emerged as an important player for Arsenal. Hopefully he’ll exact revenge against Stoke on Saturday and their knuckle-dragging, scum supporters.

This is why I despise Arsenal fans, closeted fucking idiots, the lot of them... 

[harryburrows]

And a complete pack of lies , I was at the game the incident knocked the stuffing out of our team and indeed the crowd went quiet for the rest of the game .

[Stafford-Stokie]

Well having read that I sit here with a big cheesy grin on my face. Fuck that brittle boned cunt! His leg was bost before Ryan got there. Thick deluded cockney wankers. Had great pleasure in laughing and waving at the deluded twats as they left the ground yesterday. If Ryan ever played for them sheep shaggin bastards with Ramsey I would be devastated.

Being honest some of the songs that evening were a bit
Much and similiat to that of wolves after etherington injury

[tazi]

Ramsey went in like a ballerina, twisted his own ankle in the turf thus causing one of the breaks and has Bendtner to thank for the other.

[Clem Fandango]

What a tit he obviously doesnt let facts get in the way of his story. It sounds to me that he wasn't actually there and instead read about it in the Guardian/ Daily Mail.

I think most of us in the ground that day were genuinely sickened by the unintentional injury.

However, the fact that we can so easily wind them up and get under their skin is very amusing. Long may it continue.

Absolutely. This bloke was clearly not there, because his account is a pile of shite. The fact that we can gain some advantage over the cunts as a result of the hysteria that has come from this incident is a bonus.

[Linx]

I was there and I don't remember any of that. I often keep an eye on the 'banter' between the away fans and the Stokies who sit in the corner and I can't say that I noticed any of that crap referred to in that article.

[Deleted]

As I recall, we applauded Ramsey off the pitch.

[Olgrligm]

See you next month pal.

[sportsman]

So he saw from over 60 yards away that ramseys leg was hanging off? Puts wenger to shame.

As we would for any player. It is the aftermath that has caused most of the grief. Fuck em all!!!!!!!!!!

[salopstick]

Sol campbell and fabrecunt were more bothered about getting ryan sent off whilst glen Whelan tended to Ramsay

I bet the author didn't go and is a blogger from usa or Nigeria, either way a cunt

So much so some of our owns fans had a go at those chanting them.

[Ryan_Shawjosh]

IF there were people that knew he had broken his leg and sang songs like "he's only got one leg" then the post is fair enough, about those individuals. I was watching on tv, so wasn't there myself, but I can't remember hearing much singing at all. However, as always seems to miss getting a mention by their fans, if Stoke are the biggest scum of a club, as they make out, then why did it need a Stoke player, Whelan, to look after him when he was on the floor? Shawcross was always getting sent off for the tackle so what did their players expect to achieve by bouncing around in anger rather than looking after their own injured player and making sure he was ok? Sums them up completely in how they always seem to look at problems in other people, rather than looking after themselves.

[DC1863]

Once a year they come to the Brit for their annual spanking and once a year these bitter comments/articles pop up after we've handed out said spanking. Boring predictable stuff that gets repeated year after year.

[partickpotter]

Cmon folks - admit it. We love pieces like this. Bleating Arsenal fans are part of what makes beating them so much fun.

[robstokie]

They make me laugh, deluded cunts....Thanks for the 3 points boys!

[salopstick]

I really f****** arsenal, I can tell you. I was there in 2010, in the away end. As it happened I was right next to the away fans, separated only by a section of empty seats covered by a banner, and I saw cesc fabrecunt deliberately try and injure Danny Pugh. Fuck that scummy club.

[heavysoul]

I remember the horror of that incident I was in the south stand. Loads of concern for Ramsey. Shawcross was in tears. I think it was Whelan consoling Ramsey as the rest of the arsenal team wondered around.

[Bojan Mackey]

How can one club harp on about one incident for so long? Fuck me since then we've had countless injustices, injuries and even a managerial change, we bemoan them on here for two days then it's forgotten, they're still harping on about an incident that happened so long ago there's fucking cave paintings of it.

If your bunch of feckless, cheating little fucking disciples of Wengerism can't hack playing at the Britannia then that's your fault my deluded cockney friends, not ours, not Ryan Shawcross's, yours.

If you weren't such cowardly fairies then you might actually be able to give us a game here, but as it stands, you're quite content to stand there cowering all game, watching as your team offers all the threat of an annoyed toddler as we put you, yet again, on the naughty step, only for you to recycle the same cliched bullshit once you reach the safe haven of your homes over 150 miles away because apparently this makes you the classier fanbase, and we're the scumbags because we're cheering for a player, our captain, who has been subjected to a campaign of hideous, unforgivable abuse ever since he happened to be part of a horrific accident 5 years ago, look up the word hypocritical in the dictionary you cretinous parasites.

You are by far and a way the worst fanbase in world football, you're even worse than the Geordies for your level of delusion (Pub team, that at one point was 4-0 up against you) and how you react when someone has a pop at you back is akin to one of those cunts that dishes it out all day but runs home crying as soon as he gets it back, the whole lot of you can go and fuck yourselves.

Some of the Arsenal fans really disgust me as they only see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe! The stick and persecution Ryan Shawcross has received from both Wenger, Ramsey and some of the fans is probably the most undeserved I've experienced! It wasn't even studs up or any malice in that tackle, but a lot of the Arsenal fans, Wenger and the press made it so much worse than it really was! Shawcross clearly had no intention of getting Ramsey injured, as you could might see from his reaction, but as I said you chose to find your own version of the truth!

[Olgrligm]

I assumed this was an article written about 4 years ago. It was published 2 days ago? FFS.

[jackcity]

Wasn't there that day but doesn't sound like Stoke fans Ryan Shawcross would never intentionally break another players leg how many players suffer broken legs in games I was there when Marc Wilson was carried off with broken leg not very nice this is a case of Arsenal fans thinking they are the only club to have a player suffer a broken leg in a tackle it happens regardless of how some fans might react Ryan certainly wasn't celebrating get over it

[salopstick]

Stokes response to delaps leg break is one of the classiest things I've seen in football

[2004]

What a load of bollocks. I bet he wasn't even there. The ground went so quiet. There was no booing or chanting like all Arse fans love to say there was.

[fca47]

Having seen the video, Arsene probably gets a better reception from Stoke fans, than the Arsenal scum.

[robwahlmann]

Rumour has it that Wenger was worshipped at Stoke railway station on Saturday by his own fans!
