Ignoring Steve's usual nonsense, I actually disagree that he's playing in a better team in some aspects. For a start I'd say one of the main differences between thr 2 sides for several years has been a stroinger backline and the heart to fight more than we have, as opposed necy to players.
For example, over the past few years he's played at Arsenal with the likes of Arshavin, Nasri, Cesc, Wilshere, Song, Walcott etc. who I believe will have better stats than majority of Utd forward players (Ronaldo and Rooney aside, ofc) but more than that, at Arsenal he WAS the side - the entire formation was set up around first of all Cesc then RVP with the 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 formation, designed to get the best out of him. That's why he scored more goals for us than he has for you thus far but lets be honest, the cunt is far and away the best striker on the planet and would bang them in for any team. As far as his performances are concerned, he never chnaged teams in the Summer, just a few players around him, he was always going to continue to bang them in at the same rate. If he'd have gone abroad then might have been dff but thats why uoi paid £25m nearly for a near 30 y/o withj one of the worst injury records in the league (historically) - goals.

Robbo'scomment you've quoted was in a completley different context you bellend.
Only sayin'
I think its quite relevant how Robbo was trying to point out all the big players Arsenal have grown
you are such a deluded idiot, its untrue

It's impossible to say who has the best players but as a team United are miles ahead. IMO City have better players than United but as a team they're nowhere near as good. RVP is class, i was one who said he wouldnt do well and i didnt want him anywhere near United. I've never hated him as a person like other rival players but i just didnt think he would score goals like he is doing.
I would say he is definetly playing with a better team than last year (table doesnt lie!) and you can tell with how happy he looks and his performances that he's loving every minute at United, something that i would worry about if i was an Arsenal fan because he is clearly happier now than last year.

Lol. He was banging in goals for us last season and loving every minute of it.
Players are fickle. As are alot of Man U fans it seems.

Ye i know he was scoring goals for Arsenal, pretty much all the goals  but i think he was happy then just because he managed to save the team winning games, he now clearly enjoys every minute with the United players.
I admit i was wrong about him in the summer, and i'm glad i was. If he win the league this season then i hope he is named our player of the season because he's been the difference this year.

I can get tickets to any game via Arsenal Manchester Supporters Club. Not applic to Robbo obv.
Not got any yet this season tho. Poor effort. Just not had time to go.
I reckon we need a CS Gooner meet at a game.
dont buy tickets through the hi-vis brigade possibly more hated by their fellow Arsenal supporters than the opposition fans

Away fans are usually spot on whereas most of the time at Asrenal (not always, tbf but mostly) the atmosphere in most parts of the ground is diluted by foreigners and tourists etc. North Bank is usually much betetr, but trickier to get seats in and in fairness, best artmos recently was at the WBA game when i was above the away fans, as there were some good guys sat around me whipping people up! Very hit and miss though

I opted against Hi Vis. I'm undercover to pilfer tickets only.

I think our case is that nobody gives a fuck right now. Everyone is so under whelmed it's hard to get excited. Plus the average following to KR is probably less than 100. Hard to get any banter going with that few away fans. Wolves have sold out their allocation and there is only a couple of hundred tickets left in the home end. So the atmosphere should be alright.

I only ever go to away games but the atmosphere is always awesome. I reckon our away fans are amongst the best in the Prem. Several other clubs have commented on how good our away fans are.
Home is poor for the reasons you've mentioned.
