    Genuine question, why does it seem like every other football fan hate Arsenal? Every social media posts about us just gets so many troll replies and thousands of likes.

      1. You are an Arsenal fan and so social media will show you more Arsenal content than any other team.

      2. Arsenal have a huge online following, people want to make us react for their own benefit.

      3. Bots

      Trickle down of having a foreign/unorthodox approach from Wenger mainly. Media and refs caught on and didn’t give any leeway and over the years we are here. Overly simplistic but my opinion

      because most of the people who interact with those posts are teens that support rival clubs who grew up watching us being fkn shit and a joke of a club so they get insecure now that we’re good again

        And the older fans grew up being absolutely traumatized by the various violations we inflicted on their club. A massive group of Yanited fans watched us win the league in their ground. That hate will remain there forever, to say nothing of Spuds.
