I have to admit to having a look on the Arsenal thread and considering we are preventing them from winning the league they haven't IMHO stooped to how low these scrotes have in blaming everyone but themselves, AFTV aside and its comedy value as a fanbase they are not in the same league as deluded fans of other clubs who are nowhere near challenging for the title and other honours.
A lot of Arsenal fans’ relative lack of sanctimonious sniping compared to the likes of United, Liverpool, or Spurs comes from the fact that a large portion of their fan base either directly or indirectly receive their wages/wealth from the likes of the UAE, Saudi, and Qatar, or regularly work with companies based in those countries in some capacity. It makes it a bit more difficult to take the “oil money” and “soulless” club position because of our ownership when anyone can simply ask you if you have any connection to the countries you are vociferously denouncing. That’s not even getting in to the fact Arsenal receive a good wedge of their sponsorship revenue from the UAE.
That’s not to say there isn’t still plenty of hypocritical nonsense coming from the Arsenal fan base—there definitely is. And, as we know, even certain “journalists” which get their wages from Saudi have no issue writing absolute tripe about our club (perhaps partly because of the origin of their pay packet).
But it does, on the whole, seem to be more subdued from Arsenal supporters compared to the red morons and lily white gobshites.
