This is the important bit. We've had a history of arrogant arsenal fans on this forum before. I know of at least one arsenal fan on here currently who tends to grind with the majority of our posters. You also have to remember that arsenal fans (not all) have become very bitter towards us since the takeover so the relationship isn't great. I'd steer clear for a couple of days should you happen to win ;)
All clubs have their fair share of arseholes, might I suggest even yours?
I don't have a problem with City. I made the point in an earlier post that given your ups and down over the last 40 years or so and having to endure the success of your Salford neighbours, it would be churlish to begrudge you the success you now have. I think it's good for Manchester to have a rivalry on more level terms.
In my experience, if there is strong animus from Arsenal fans its primarily directed against 'The Dark Side' 3 miles up the road from us and Man Yoo, the latter not so much because of their success, though that grates, but because of the God given right their fans believe they have to constantly dominate English football made worse by the gracelessness and oafish bullying of their previous manager.
In fact, when Aguero scored in the last minute or so to secure the title, I'd say 99% of Arsenal fans applauded and we hugely enjoyed seeing the bemused faces of Rooney, Fergie et al on the pitch at Sunderland after the final whistle made better by the mockery and scorn heaped on them by the home fans.
I'm travelling to Manchester for the game so whatever happens, I won't be around for a day or two afterwards anyway.
