    They’re the club that over celebrates when they beat you, but if you beat them they claim it was expected and they admit they’re shit. But they are well up for it before the game… Evvvvery time.

    However (what I’m about to say is blasphemy), as an arsenal fan since a young child… I’ve really enjoyed Ange’s interviews and watching Maddison and Son this season. Udogie has also been entertaining to watch.

    Obviously I don’t wish them success, let’s be real. I suppose some Spurs fans would have respected Henry/Bergkamp era and genuinely enjoyed some of their play.

    Sorry for any upset I’ve caused 😭

      They’re an underdog in your local rivalry, of course they’re motivated! Of course they celebrate it.

      Not too dissimilar to your lot finally beating us this season…

        Assuming you’re a city fan?

        I went into that game hoping we performed. I can’t say I expected us to win and I wouldn’t have claimed to be the favs.

        Spurs fans I’ve known always fancy themselves to beat us, and when they don’t it’s all forgotten. When they do the banter is dragged on and on 😵

        My attitude to the footy this season has completely changed anyway. Enjoying the Rugby world cup and how VAR is used has meant I don’t take it as seriously.

        I just want to watch a good fair game with commitment from both teams. Of course I want Arsenal to win but if they play well and lose, it doesn’t ruin my weekend anymore.

        Unless that’s just growing older 🤷

          Aye, good guess.

          Honestly, it’s not too dissimilar to our own local rivalry though. For years we were the underdog, and you’re left with two choices - be buoyed by shallow hope for a little bit before your crushing disappointment, or cede to your inferiority before the match and still face the crushing disappointment- of which you’re well accustomed to shrugging off.

          They’ve had less to celebrate than you historically, so it’s perfectly natural that it means more. It doesn’t mean they’re inferior.

          Unless that’s just growing older 🤷

          Yep 😀
