Very good point,
But at this stage, everyone has Admitted, They are Just Arsenal Haters.
No point trying to explain, they will find another thing to hate on.
🔴⚪ Nobody is saying it so I will.
Chelsea finished TENTH and everyone moving on like nothing happened.
Caicedo and Enzo alone — €237m. Combined. Just two players. And they finished between Brentford and Bournemouth territory.
Even Arteta in his worst year — Cedric at right back, Holding and Pablo Mari as his first choice centre backs, Ceballos in midfield, Nicolas Pepe still never came close to tenth. Not once.
United finished Fifteenth last season. The press buried them for a week and moved on.
Spurs spent the whole second half of the season looking over their shoulder at the bottom three. Barely survived.
Liverpool threw half a billion at the squad and had nothing to say in the title race when it actually mattered.
But guess who every one is talking about....
Arteta.
The English media has a very specific lens they put on Arsenal. Every trophy comes with a footnote. Every achievement needs an asterisk.
Omo. 👀
The standard they apply to Arsenal has never been the standard they apply to anyone else. And I think a lot of people have just accepted that as normal now.
Arsenal. Champions. UCL Final. All anyone can talk about.
Ah swear, It is not normal. . 😤
COYG. Always. 🔴⚪
The idea that Arsenal became a cultural phenomenon because it signed Black players is too simplistic.
Like much of London, Arsenal positioned itself as a club that extended belonging towards the margins. Not racial margins alone, but the margins of football's imagination.
Kanu arrived after heart surgery that could have ended his career. Bergkamp arrived carrying the weight of a disappointing spell at Inter. Henry arrived as a talented but unsettled player still searching for his place. Kolo Touré was potential before proof. Arteta arrived as a midfielder many thought was entering decline, only to be entrusted with the captaincy. Wenger himself was a foreign manager challenging the assumptions of English football.
The pattern was not diversity for its own sake. It was recognition before validation.
Arsenal repeatedly seemed willing to see people not simply as they were, but as they could become. It trusted before consensus arrived. It built a reputation for offering a second chance, a fresh start, or a path to fulfilment where others saw limitation, uncertainty, or decline.
That is why former players, injured players, and out-of-contract players so often found their way back to Arsenal. The club developed a reputation for treating people as more than their immediate utility.
Representation matters. But recognition creates loyalty.
People did not just see players who looked like them. They saw an institution that appeared willing to enlarge its definition of who belonged.
“Arsenal fans are unbearable”
Translation:
“I was dishing it out for years but now I am offended I have to take it, I find it oppressive and unbearable”.
"Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach."

If Arsenal had lost the PL and won the CL, haters will say the CL is just a ‘cup competition’ and that even Forrest won it, so it's not special
And then the club will be trolled for finishing 2nd 4 times in a row
Losing the CL was painful. But winning the PL was more important.
The haters are so upset that we run the streets. Estimates of over 1 million people turning up despite losing a Champions League final the night before. Serenading the team and then partying into the early hours, enjoying life. That’s something they’ll never have and it irks them
You will never see people mock finishing in 2nd position again. As far as it's not Arsenal
Infact, they Man Utd celebrated 3rd place and UCL qualifications like they won a trophy.
Spurs celebrated 17th place, escaping relegation
When it comes to Arsenal, brain cells disappear
🚨 Thierry Henry Explains Why Arsenal Are One of the Most Hated Clubs in Football
🗣️: “People always ask why everyone is so obsessed with Arsenal. The answer is simple: relevance. When Arsenal are struggling, the world talks about them. When Arsenal are winning, the world talks about them. Very few clubs in football command that level of gravity.
Arsenal have one of the biggest fanbases in the world, and with a fanbase that large, every opinion becomes louder. Every victory feels bigger, every defeat becomes a global discussion, and every title race turns into a war between supporters online.
In recent years, Arsenal have returned to competing for the biggest trophies, and that naturally creates enemies. Nobody hates teams that are irrelevant. Rival fans say they dislike Arsenal supporters because they are confident, loud, and everywhere. But if we're being honest, every successful club has supporters like that.
After losing to PSG in the Champions League final, you can already see thousands of fans who don't even support the opposing team celebrating Arsenal's downfall. That’s not just rivalry; that’s fear and obsession.
The reality is that Arsenal are one of the few clubs in world football that people either love or love to see lose. That's usually what happens when a club becomes big enough to live in everyone's mind, even when they're not playing.”
“Most people who hate Arsenal do so because its fans support it passionately which is a difficult thing to understand”
Emmanuel Petit. 2026. Arsenal Legend
Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.
The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.
That tells you everything.
Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.
For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.
Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.
Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.
Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.
The jealousy was obvious.
The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.
That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.
The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”
Dear Arsenal fans,
Do not let the ragebait posts on social media get to you. The people making fun of Arsenal support mediocre clubs. They get their happiness from trying to make you feel miserable. Don’t give them that satisfaction. We are the premier league Champions.
