Arsenal and Anger Management

How many of you have anger issues that you
never used to have. All caused by Arsenal

I never had these issues when we were good.
But Now - I have even been advised to seek
counselling as the anger has filtered into family
life.

Yes I do have an anger problem. It goes back to the
the early 80s and the terraces.No one cared about
a bit of mindless chanting. It was healthy.

I dont go anymore so the anger has got worse.
This team and Emery and the boards blind faith have
me fuming.

I was advised to support Liverpool and I would feel better.
I declined

Some people just dont understand

Find something else in life to make you happy, you have no control over what your footy team do and accept that there is so much money in the game now, the playing field is leveling out.

Arsenal have a great stadium and world class players to watch, try being a loyal fan of a lower/non league club struggling to stay a float, their supporters are the most humble and least spoilt, I'm sure they don't let their anger spill over into their personal lives.

As someone who has seen us win the league, to having -15 points in L1, I can tell you it teaches you a lot. Being comfortable in the premier league is no given right either.

long gone are the days I allow my weekend to be dictated to by Arsenal results. But I am 43 so perhaps age has helped.

OP - your poem doesn't rhyme mate. I hate poems that don't rhyme. 1 star.

OP Unless you want to be a racist cretin whilst ya doing it then as a fan you're still free to shout and chant at a football game. No reason why you should have stopped what you were doing (can't stand obviously) unless you were being one of the nasty lil hooligans we wanted out of football.

As for anger seeping into family life. Mate that's some deep seated “Need professional help to solve” issue. Football has nothing to do with this other than serving as an outlet for your anger issues. By the sounds of it you're essentially now being a hooligan at home because you can't go and be a hooligan at the footy every weekend.

Instead of asking if the team has made other fans this angry. You need to be asking “Why do I act like a hooligan.” Plenty of football fans out there get livid over how their team plays, without it threatening their home lives. Problem is 100% YOU, nothing to do with Arsenal fortunes. Go see someone mate. Best thing you can do for your family and yourself.

Where have I said that I was racist ?
I did hear racist chanting though but never
joined in.
I have never been a hooligan.
Saw some minor scuffles but nothing major.

I am trying meditation and to mimimse Arsenal related things.

I never said you were racist was just point out that if you're not being racist or abusive ya can still yell all ya want at the footy.

Just stop watching Arsenal til Christmas (it'll be sorted by then). Because for anyone living with:

Anger issues
High blood pressure
A bad heart
Any stress related condition
An anurism

This is sssoooo not the time to be an Arsenal fan
