Arsenal FC fan since I can remember (25+ years). The poetry of football vs. the downward spiral of pub punditry. #InAbouWeTrust

Word. You have every right to be miserable as a fan, but unloading that misery is a choice you make (entirely for yourself) and that affects others. What kind of impact do you want to have in this world?

Ultimately, there are those who count their football happiness with trophies. We have won around 10% of our top flight seasons (13 times out of 120). That means you will be happy every 1 out of 10 seasons. That’s up to you.

There it is. We’d been going into the last games with a blade wound hidden under our armour and it finally proved too much. As a fan, one always tried to find a way, but this season from hell has caught up with us. I don’t think you can see it any other way than pride at how long we kept going.

I love this team. I really really do. But we do shoot like absolute donkeys this season.

What a shit show this season has been 😅

It’s certainly not all dandy for the Reds at the moment. Could it really be happening? The thing is that we are SO depleted now that we are TOTAL underdogs. Which means Liverpool messing it up now would be a little embarrassing, which adds to the pressure.

Can’t help but be so happy to see Arsène every time. I’m glad we have Arteta as I genuinely didn’t think it would be possible to find a manager who’d represent Arsenal as well as Wenger did. Particularly after Unai. Mikel has a long way to go yet, but glad we have him.

Brilliant video by The Different Knock (as per usual) about the feasibility of Isak joining in the summer. I’m not going to give Scholes the space in this convo as every Fergie player is so biased it’s unreal, but there was even less of a chance of us getting Rice than Isak, IMO.

Hey people, how do we feel about the club’s more problematic sponsorship deals? I’m pretty sure the general thinking for football clubs is: ‘fans want signings at all cost’ so the criteria for going in bed with a brand are quite loose. Socios even sells bad crypto back to fans…

Keown meets Ruud after all these years… 😄
