It's not arrogance to think the best if you actually are AND THEN YOU WIN. And people after that will eventually praise you for having the strenght of living up to your premises.
To think you are the best when your team never made it to the semifinals, it's plain stupid.I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Errr, isn't that the definition of arrogance?Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

You will rarely use the word "arrogant" when referring to an underling who talks big words in the face of his superiors. OTOH, you'll rarely use the word "insolent" about an overlord who talks crap to his lessers."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident
"I never had the need to have a boner." -- Dissident
"I have never cut off my penis when I was upset over a girl." -- Dis

Nah, when you suck but still talk big words, you're considered insolent.

You guys may have lost without Beckham on the right. If you need Beckham to win games, then it is a disaster.

England win their qualifying group. Sack the swede!!
England win their group in the World Cup. Sven out!!
England qualify for the quarter final. Sven is ruining the material!It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars
