The decline of Arsenal FC

Yet another sorry episode or Arsenal FC this week when the club took the stance to support those cowardly and bullying Arsenals fans that make up a not insignificant part of their overall fan base.

No lessons heeded by the club from 2008 and the shameful treatment by some Arsenal fans towards Eboue.

Has any other set of fans supporting a top 6 club ever booed its own players, manager and team as much as Arsenal fans? I don't think so.

Remember the shameful treatment by Arsenal fans towards Wenger at Crewe station after defeat at Stoke.

In that case, a minority for sure, but still signifying a culture shift within the fan base that has become worse each season and is dragging the club down further and further.

Arsenal, rightly or wrongly used to be heralded as an example of how a PL football club should be run...............

Frankly, those days seem long gone as the club hits a new low this week.

But they don't show anything about booing the actual manager mate. Anyone doesn't really matter. Don't want a slanging match between fans.

In regards to the OP, Its actually a rivalry I miss with arsenal and utd nowadays when it was us three in the mid 2000s battling it out. That arsenal team as we all know was fearsome.

Hounding Wenger to get their Arsenal back. Didn’t work.

Now they want to Jose who molested their club to get their Arsenal back.

What a bunch of shameless fans.

Yeah, pot kettle black is correct but he does have a point, even though it applies to Chelsea too.

I also think social media stuff like Arsenal fan TV can indeed have an effect and would be a fantastic case study on the impact of social media on the behaviour of large groups of people and even humanity itself.

Why?

Chelsea fans are major hypocrites. Jorginho was roundly boo’d by Chelsea supporters last season, as he was blamed for Sari’s style of play. Yet this kind of behaviour has become such the norm at Chelsea that it doesn’t get reported so much any more.

Eboue booed coming on, booed whilst on and booed taken off minutes later. All in the same game and in tears. Nothing worse than that.

This isn’t about petty point scoring. I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of this post.
