    Arsenal Fans will be one of the LAST group of fans who have the right to moan about how shite it is to support their club!!

    They even bloody ignore the fact they were relegated from the First Division in 1913, yet got put back in Division One without winning promotion when the League restarted in 1920 after the First World War (they only finished 5th the last season before the League was stopped) - Be surprised if there is any other club who have managed to do that in English History!!

    I wonder if Doncaster had our equivalent of lame duck fans sucking up to the owners as they tried to burn down the ground and made themselves manager and player

    They were relegated in 1913 and spent two seasons in league two, 13-14 and 14-15 before ww1 halted the footy.

    Yeah but in the second of those seasons they finished 5th so when Football restarted they should have been in the old Division Two

    Absolutely, but they extended the number of teams in the top division.
    If an Arsenal fan says they have never been relegated they are talking actual shit.

    "Stop moaning and get behind the team"

    "Be careful what you wish for"

    If you ever need a “wow times have changed” kick for the day check out the final league table for the old division 3(league 2) for this season!!

    20. Swansea City
    21. Cardiff City
    22. Hull City
    23. Brighton & Hove Albion
    24. Doncaster Rovers (Relegated)

    Also worth noting that Scarborough made the play offs.

    I love the note in that thread about the music played over the Brighton tannoy on Fans United day :-)
