🚨 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.”
- Le tiró a la gente los anteojos de Ødegaard, que valen £1200, mientras se cagaba de risa
- Obligó a Rice a cantar ‘Rice, Rice baby”
- ‘Hincapie get your fucking bum out’
- Tiraron una hamburguesa al colectivo y se la comió

The hypocrisy in this piece is staggering.
The Athletic asserts it could not name Partey for legal reasons until he was charged… But then asserts Arsenal should have undertaken actions prior to charging him that would have identified Partey.
They’re basically saying we wouldn’t break the law… but Arsenal should have.
If the Athletic had named him, Arsenal would have been in a position to suspend him. Don’t throw stones in glass houses.
They then selectively include information without balancing context to try and paint individuals in a bad light. For example, it shares that Arteta praised Partey for his performance despite “what he’s been through” implying Arteta had the full context and was defending his actions.
Yet they don’t mention that when Arteta was explicitly asked what he meant by this in follow up, he stated he was referring to Partey’s inconsistencies in performance due to repeat injuries. Excluding this context makes the column a hit piece. Disgraceful.
It then wrongly compares the situation to those of other clubs without clarifying why they were different situations legally.
It then implies this as being an issue specifically within football and simply ignores the challenges that exist in English law with regard to right to privacy and how it directly affects decision-making in this domain. This is not just a football issue. It is an issue in English law.
If you read my posts, you will know I am disgusted by the actions of club and I explain precisely why. What they actually did which was wrong.
But this constant misinformation and point scoring is grotesque too and not helpful in any way - especially when it comes from media outlets.
Get it right and don’t be a hypocrite or sod off.
Arsenal fans & followers of mine.
When Zubimendi is announced, I know you wanted to ‘dunk’ on Liverpool.
But please have some class.
I remember exactly where I was stood when the news broke of Reyes.
Please remember that.

🏆 PSG’s route to Champions League glory:
🏴 Liverpool (1.98) 1-1 (5.33) PSG 🇫🇷
🏴 Aston Villa (3.86) 4-5 (4.10) PSG 🇫🇷
🏴 Arsenal (5.11) 1-3 (3.08) PSG 🇫🇷
🇮🇹 Inter Milan (0.50) 0-5 (3.51) PSG 🇫🇷
Seeing how uncritical some clubs recklessly spend their money today, and the positions they get themself into, we must forever be grateful to Wenger for his sacrifice and suffering.
In 2025 we still enjoy the fruits of his labor.
On this day: in 2017, Mesut Özil broke the all time Premier League record creating a staggering 12 chances in one game vs Sunderland
The GOAT playmaker 🐐🫡
Some of these Arsenal meltdowns are incredible....Look at where you were and where you're heading and you're still moaning. PSG are clearly a fantastic team with an unbelievable bench. Look at your bench and you still don't have a striker.
I really find it remarkable that the same action that saw Declan Rice receive a second yellow card and suspension doesn’t even trigger the slightest reaction from anybody nowadays. To add insult to injury it’s Chris Kavanagh officiating here too.
