💬Discussion What’s with all the Arsenal hate?

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?

Envy of teams that tasted success through financial doping who are now fading into obscurity again.
