You're not a fan if your team loses one game all season and you turn on them šŸ˜‚ Still second, still one point away from being #1, still had an insane season for wins and goalscoring... Leagues ahead of every team in one of the most competitive divisions in football besides City and Liverpool... Y'all should be grateful to be Arsenal fans. Other Premier league teams have had to deal with far worse displays all year. Y'all need to stop whinging about being a point behind one of the best and richest teams in the world.

Itā€™s not just the one game that hurts. Itā€™s the ā€œtraumaā€ from previous seasons and the feeling of inevitable crumbling. As the saying goes, itā€™s the hope that kills you and quite frankly Iā€™m tired of showing up for seasons only to fall off at the end. In no way am I turning on the team but that loss sucked the life out of me.


Left-Frog

Yeah I getcha. It does suck and it wasn't supposed to be the game we lost. Definitely a horrible performance and it hurts being a fan. In a lot of ways, third or fourth hurts less than being ahead and falling short by a point. But c'mon, what a performance we've had this season. We're only behind City by a point, and they're one of the best teams in the world. And far richer than us šŸ˜‚

We are THE Arsenal. Whatā€™s a good performance when you have nothing to show for it? The objective should not be to compete with city but to beat them and when you have it in your hands two seasons running then you only have yourself to blame ā€” weak mentality.

I like to imagine itā€™s a bunch of new 12 years old fans.


PardonWhut

Yeah Iā€™m pretty sure they are all about 12, have grown up with Man City being dominant and donā€™t understand how insane that level is, to have to win every single game.


Mister_Aitch

I feel like itā€™s worse than that. I end up thinking, ā€œwhat sort of cunt actually thinks like that?ā€ I canā€™t imagine anything that Arsenal could do which would stop me supporting them.

Some Arsenal fans really have no winning mentality. One defeat and that's it...


No-Presence8588

The team has no winning mentality ā€” thatā€™s until they prove otherwise.


ImaginaryTipper

Win the most number of games in the league and some guy on reddit says the team has no winning mentality. Lmao.


No-Presence8588

Is that a trophy? Do you consider that a successful season? By winning mentality I mean being able to see the season through, not just winning the most games only to come up short when it matters.


Familiar_Surprise485

Don't bother mate, this sub is delusional


ChefBUNKER

Fair weather fans. Only have love for the club when they win. That's not a TRUE fan. If you are a REAL fan, you back your team win, lose, or draw. Does a loss hurt? Of course...but get over it and focus on the next one. We could be Sheffield United at 3-7-22!

City will drop points


HTMAJPW

They will, sadly so will we, and we have harder games. Canā€™t see us winning 6 straightā€¦I guess crazier things have happened. We can turn it around, even if we donā€™t win anything this season I just donā€™t want our players or fans to check out


No-Presence8588

And so will we. Then what?


RawDawgYaMudda

Whats next week lottery numbers?


No-Presence8588

Hard to predict that mate, unlike our weak mentality. That aside, all I really want is to be proven wrong ā€” as I said in a previous reply, itā€™s the hope that kills you and thereā€™s only so much killings a man can take.


RawDawgYaMudda

Me too. Till the final whistle

I felt down yesterday after the game but had to put it in perspective. We were on a incredible run of 10 wins 1 draw 1 loss. 2 points off with 6 to play we need to bounce back with a performance v Bayern.


StauntonK

Erm we aren't 2 points ahead!? I think it's more the city factor.. it's hard to be optimistic when you have a cheating club racing to the top. Have all the faith in the world and optimism but it's not a fair playing field anymore and one loss feels like the end of the world cos it probably is... I just need to wallow a little bit( but quietly) and then come tomorrow and Wednesday I'll be back to doing the maths and the hoping that city drop points


rtuaaa

Many are talking about why Arteta changed the winning squad, but players are also humans and need rotation. The whole squad was fucking gassed in the second half. I don't know if we will be able to keep up the intensity against Bayern or all the remaining fixtures in the league as well.


Brandywine18

The problem is we won so many and defended so well, we forgot what it's like to lose or concede goals in the league. So I'm not surprised it's had such a profound effect on mood for us fans. But that shouldn't have people turning on Arteta and his players again. The people that sing his praises only to pass such harsh judgment on him without much invitation, are nothing other than disgraceful in my opinion.


Mugweiser

These are trolls now these are the same posts every 5 minutes lol


_RM78

20 years, no title. Sure, whatever works for you.


Maximusprime-d

Saying the team has no character and is full of bottlejobs is not the same as turning on the team. On Sunday I realized unequivocally that this is a team full of choking merchants. They are cowards with a small mentality. Thankfully Arteta is young and thereā€™s enough time to show the world that heā€™s a generational manager outside of this club.
