IMO I think this is a dig at the FA about what happened to Arteta for questioning a really terrible decision. He’s saying he feels the same way as Arteta, but knows he will get in trouble for saying the same kind of thing

funnily the level of need and care for their individual supporters works in an inverse way. The bigger the club the less they care about each individual fan. Your local 6th tier team will miss you much more if you don’t come and support them than a big team like Man U, who have people lining up around the block for tickets most weeks.

At my local club in the 8th or 9th tier, I’m one of the boys, with mates who know my name, and people ask me where I was if I miss a few games in a row. At an Arsenal game, I’m just another face in the massive crowd and I wouldn’t be missed if I’m there or not.

Not having a cry, that’s just the way it is

nah I get what they mean.

I’m an Arsenal fan, but I now live near Newcastle, and I also support one of the local teams here who play in the lower leagues. You can support a team like South Shields, and also Arsenal, because you know that it will be a cold day in hell if they ever play each other unless Shields get promoted about a dozen times in a row
