the way you guys keep sprinting in here to expose yourselves as completely incapable of being objective is hilarious. again, the parallels between arteta and sark and numerous, they are essentially analogs of one another, and yet you all cannot stop claiming that arteta has done “literally nothing”, and that he’s “crushing the dreams” of arsenal fans, literally because he hasn’t won a trophy in the last four seasons. go try and say that dumb shit about sark on the football board and see what kind of reception it gets. all of your opinions are based on your feelings about arsenal, and not objective reality.
and then you add the trophy thing on top. y’all used to shit on any trophy that wasn’t the league title or CL trophy. this board literally made fun of arsenal for throwing a parade for our 2014 fa cup win, and spent years denigrating the fa cup as meaningless when arsenal was winning it regularly. now all of a sudden winning the CARABAO CUP is a huge deal that has thumping your chests? winning the weakest europa league of all time vs teams none of us have ever heard of and can’t pronounce has you shit-talking an arsenal fanbase whose team is in a different galaxy in terms of quality and competitiveness? really? none of your (any of you) opinions are earnest, it’s literally just “whatever allows me to make fun of arsenal.” the way y’all so proudly expose yourselves as hypocrites is what has had me comparing y’all to maga. it’s seriously eye opening how irrational and fanatical all of this is.
i used to respect the posters on this forum the same way that i do the posters on the baseball forum. there’s really no big fights, hostile shit talk, or any of that idiocy that comes with most of the other boards. but nobody, and i mean nobody, is on the baseball board going, “the detroit tigers haven’t won a trophy since 1984, literally nothing about that team or their manager is impressive.” because that would be fucking stupid and would get you laughed out of the thread.
so let’s be clear. this is not me shit-talking you guys. this is me earnestly coming to you and holding up a mirror, and asking you to look at yourselves and your completely indefensible, fanatical, juvenile takes on arsenal, and hoping that you see how clownish and unserious you all look. i came into this forum on match day 1 and bitched about the poor officiating in this league by citing the fact that man u should have been awarded a penalty against arsenal. that’s what objectivity looks like. that’s how an adult forms their opinions. not on fanatical feelings, but on objectivity and reality. i’d love to see even a modicum of that type of objectivity from this forum, and i hope we can have it some day soon. there is no rational explanation for yalls collective obsession with arsenal, a club that, according to y’all, is wholly unimportant and non competitive in the first place. it’s embarrassing. and it’s not honest. do better.
