2 - just dumb to want any Premier league team to lose Do you think Arsenal were willing us to win the Europa League back in the day? I hoped Spurs would do well in Europe this season, outside of that, they can all get bent. I´ve many mates who support other teams (rather too many Man U fans), but yes, they wanted Stoke to do well against foreign teams in the Europa. Maybe you get some Schadenfreude from watching others lose, but on an international stage we all suffer a bit when they do. Pragmatically, the more we win the more teams we get in, up to a point. From a footie fan perspective I was a Liverpool and Forest fan when they dominated the European Cup, and with Villa at the end "WE" held it six years on the trot, 76-82. I was for Man U when they cut through the European elite and beat Bayern Munich in 99. I know, as a Stokie I´m expected to be a miserable git and hope shit drops on everyone else to make me feel better about the dung in our own back yard. But hey, I hope City win it this year - preferably against Real Madrid as there are more laughs watching Ronaldo blubbing.

I want Arsenal to lose.
If that DT gets slapped around by a few Russians that would be a bonus...

I noticed that most of the members here hate Arsenal, may be because of their TV channel or something else that I dont know, for me I dont hate them I like to watch their football although it is not good enough to win games or titles but it is still better than watching Mourinho or Antonio Conte. After the recent problems between England and Russia, with talks about possibility for England not to participate in World Cup, the English team Arsenal has to travel and play in Russia against CSKA Moscow in the Europa League. I see many of the members here are not caring about the English teams participating in Champions League or Europe League, with less extent some members like these English teams to lose, and a minority like these teams to win. In case Arsenal vs CSKA Moscow there in Russia, how do you feel about it? 1- Not Caring 2- Want Arsenal to win 3- Still want Arsenal to lose 4- Just want the English fans to return safe Don't know why???? Where have you been for the last 47 years? - I started to watch Stoke City after Ramadan joined the team. - I understand people here hate Arsenal but I didnt know the real reasons and this is why I was asking, after reading the comments I understand it now.

Thanks everybody for the explanation for causes of hate. We are still collecting your opinions about the game in Russia It is obvious all people here hate Arsenal but some members want Arsenal to lose and some members want Arsenal to win.

Dr Hesham, the Arsenal hatred does originate for those of us older fans from the two FA Cup semis in the early 1970s but there have been other examples along the way more recently too. All well documented. Also look into the history of how they 'bribed' their way into the top division back in 1920/21 despite finishing fifth in the second division at a time when only the top two got promoted. They've been there ever since. Typical of the cunts. I accept my bias here, but IMO they also benefit from refereeing decisions to an extent greater than any other club, last Thursday's game vs AC Milan and the award of Welbecks penalty at a time when they most needed a hand being a perfect example of just how often and easily they benefit from this. Add their useless, silent, sense of entitlement fans to the mix and they are just the club to despise. I hope when Wenger goes they appoint some complete arsehole who fucks them up totally But Hughes has just taken the Southampton job....... 😉 Dr, best place to start is Stoke hate pretty much everyone.

Don't know why???? Where have you been for the last 47 years? He's been in Egypt for most of his life - and I doubt he is 47 years old. How aware are you of the history of your favourite provincial Egyptian football club? I expect Dr Hesham knows more about Stoke's history than you do about any team in Egypt. I am sure he does but if someone from North Staffs went to play in Egypt or anywhere else for that matter would I take an interest in that club, no.

And that is your right - it is, after all, a free country. But that is no reason why the good doctor should not be free to take an interest in Stoke City because a player he follows has moved here. And he should be able to take an interest in us and ask questions as often as he likes. We all use this board in different ways, we don't all have tome to read all the threads, I don't see any reason why the doctor can't ask a reasonable and polite question about the origins of our feud with Arsenal and expect to get a reasonable and polite answer.

I don't want any of the English teams to win in Europe, - well they aren't really English for a start. Prefer the lesser names of Europe. Osterlund etc.
