And there's more..

What an enjoyable evening it's going to be at the Emirates

[SWv2]

It really, really confuses me that apparently sentient human beings have such trouble understanding this matter.

If you identify as an Arsenal supporter, the lads on the pitch in the red and white shirts are on your side. You should cheer them and abuse the opposition. Why is that so complicated?

Aside from matters of morality and loyalty, failing to encourage your own players is obviously going to be counter-productive. Why make matters worse?

One can support / love / be loyal to an entity but that is not to say you have to go round in a permanent state of happiness. That would be utterly naïve in respect of understanding human emotions.

In fact it would probably make you an imbecile.

And to be honest coming out with tosh like that in such a simplistic black & white way belies the truth behind what is a football supporter in as much a way as the behaviour you are criticising.

[SWv2]

We should have walked this league imo.

I would imagine Man City fans feel 100% the same in this sense.

Basically, the only comment managers and players should ever make regarding the support is a modest "Thank you".

And Spurs fans.

I would imagine Man City fans feel 100% the same in this sense.

And Chelsea, Spurs and United, I would think.

We have established 'what is a football supporter', we're just trying to understand how, and why.

Essentially everyone who, last Summer, fancied themselves better than Leicester City

[SWv2]

And Chelsea, Spurs and United, I would think.

I specified City because in the end I suspect they will finish closer to the crown than we are, a small distance covered by 2-3 matches and the difference between winning or losing or drawing.

The period where they imploded coinciding with the absence of De Bruyne perhaps.

Neither Spurs nor United fans will in their wildest dreams have expected to win the title this season and Chelsea have known since autumn leaves were falling onto dewy grass that they were ****ed.
