Arsenal Fans are Hypocrites

So Arsenal fans, despite being levels below Chelsea, will downplay the club as a whole due to having no history, a club found in 2004 apparently. In this instance, it is history that takes precedence over current affairs.


HOWEVER

When the Gooners move onto Manchester United and Liverpool, they revel in the fact that they're above them and winning more trophies. This is in contrast to the fact that we (both clubs) have much better history than them, in fact we **** all over them to the point you get people like Zürich trying to champion the FA Cup above the league :laugh: so in this case, current affairs are taking precedence over history.

If you note that the difference between Arsenal and United is a lot smaller than the gap between Chelsea and Arsenal, then the hypocrisy is clear.

Puke is right. Anyway would someone like to address the points.
Nobody can address the points, because it's true.

Arsenal fans are the worst fans in this league by a mile.
All football fans are hypocrites.

Look at the MU green and gold scarves while paying £50 a ticket and shopping at the megastore.
Real football fans in Manchester support FC United.

Isn't not changing clubs a key part of being a real fan

Of course it does, you're just stating the obvious here, that football fans are hypocritical.

The obvious difference between the two scenarios in the OP though is that mentioning history to Chelsea is done to criticise their methods. You'd see it said less if they hadn't won all their trophies thanks to the Russian money. No sane Arsenal fan genuinely believes they're bigger than MU or Liverpool, saying they're above them in the league is just a cold hard fact.

No, it depends entirely on why you change clubs

If Leeds turned into Leeds Red Bulls, I & many of the Leeds faithful would have no problems changing to Farsley afc or a new Phoenix club.

I know he has, Arsenal don't consider Liverpool to be close or whatever it was.

He was probably winding people up though.
Also would like to say that I too loled at FC United mention above
