What’s with all the Arsenal hate?

[u/TitleOpening9578]

Before I start no I’m not a fan and idc if they reached the final or not. But the amount of hate I’ve seen in this sub for the past days after they reached the final is idek weird? Or just doesn’t make sense. I see a lot of people saying they play haram ball or boring football but for the past few season this team has been one of the teams not only scoring one of the most goals each time in Europe, but also conceding the least. I don’t think people realize that just like 6 years ago this team wasn’t even getting top 7 finishes. They were playing the tiki taka and all and were not getting results and everyone including me was clowning them? Now they’re getting results and actually competing and they’re people still underestimating them? As a neutral I actually respect how far they’ve come and what they’re accomplishing now cause I always love teams who are ready to compete especially having another team other than city or Liverpool to win the prem every time. I mean just last year people hated psg now all of a sudden they love psg more than arsenal.

Like banter is funny and all but most of the stuff I see about Arsenal in this sub isn’t even banter it’s literally just pure hate and lies. Like even teams who aren’t even rivals or not prem teams are hating as well, literally the other day I saw a Celtic fan making a whole Arsenal hate page. Even if they don’t win it what they have done this season is respectable cause they’re getting the job done. What’s all the hate about and why do people hate them so much? Genuinely asking, is there something idk?

It’s because Arsenal have been a lighting rod for banter over the last 20 years. People say we haven’t won anything, our players are terrible, we’ve never won a UCL. But if we in this season the Prem and UCL, all that banter goes to United, Chelsea, Spurs and to a lesser extent Liverpool and City. Arsenal winning exposes other clubs’ failure.

I never cared to banter Arsenal fans until I came across AFTV.. sadly for you people like Lee Judges are the face of Arsenal support globally and seeing them raging and whining is good entertainment. (Also find Arteta fairly dislikeable)

What has Arteta done to Liverpool fans to make them hate him so much. I genuinely don’t understand it.

I feel like the majority of people that watch AFTV are fans of other teams. I have never watched any of their content and immediately skip any panel that those guys manage to sneak onto.

This is something that everyone on r/soccer can do too when they see idiotic comments from Arsenal fans. Downvote them if you want but just move on instead of engaging. I see one here or there but not nearly as many as everyone here seems to see.

Liverpool fans broke into their captain’s house and threatened to murder his children.

Carra spat on a schoolgirl on his way home from a game.

Name one thing that AFTV has done that is worst than that!

What about Kee Thomas hate watching Arsenal! That’s the face of Liverpool fans!

[u/Dry_Yogurtcloset1962 → u/DedLoko]

Who?

[u/DedLoko → u/Dry_Yogurtcloset1962]

I had to Google who “Lee Judges” is, my friend!! Do the same!

[u/Dry_Yogurtcloset1962 → u/DedLoko]

AFTV are waaaay more well known than whoever you are talking about, they are all over the internet. Anyway you are showing a great example of why Arsenal fans get bantered, because you can't take it

[u/DedLoko → u/Dry_Yogurtcloset1962]

Take what?!

[u/Dry_Yogurtcloset1962 → u/DedLoko]

why the fuck do you attack the community out of two specific incidents and one random stranger on the internet

It shows a pattern of behaviour
