Gooners = South London Toffs

I thank Joao for both of these. I thank him less for sending me an email about hateglazer with the subject line "Ok, he's topped himself now", which gave me a few brief, glorious, but ultimately false few seconds of hope that he'd finally done the only respectable thing one as pathetic as him could do. Sadly this was not the case. The article is about how Arsenal are not from North London (oh noes! teh seekrit is out, guise!).

"I believe that the only North London club in the top flight will finish in the top 4 this year. That team is Tottenham Hotspur. Woolwich Arsenal will be 6th. Get back to me in May. Ta ra"

- hateglazer

I didn't think people could actually be genuinely, non-ironically racist against people from south of the Thames, but you live, you learn. To hateglazer, they are inferior troglodytes not worthy of kicking a football who should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for dirtying up his lovely Premier League. Hang your head in shame, Charlton Athletic. Even the Championship is too good for you.

Oh, and it's "ta-ta", not "ta ra". You're meant to be saying goodbye in a disparaging manner, not impersonating an extra from Mary Poppins.

Later in the thread, his credibility, intelligence and geographic location were called into question. He rose to the occasion magnificently, as you can see.

"I hate Arsenal I live in Manchester and your patently a toff. Where are you from JJ [JohnJensensGoal] still not told me"

- hateglazer

You know, for a man who is awfully pinickity about Arsenal's geographic location and history, it's a tad hypocritical to claim to live in Salford (as he has done many times before, to prove he's a "local" supporter) and Manchester. Or maybe he has two houses, the same way ex-WUM Anonymous000 had twenty-two season tickets.

Also, "toff", used as an insult? Fantastic. I can just see JJG walking around in a silk cravat, top hat and monocle saying "What what? Tally ho old bean!" as he sets his hounds upon hateglazer's quivering, gutter-bound form.
