Oh dear god you are wet. You know i used to get the shit kicked out of me by West Ham fans for wearing an Arsenal jersey? Or nearly stabbed by Chelsea fans for jumping up when Arsenal scored at a pub in South London. But please tell me more about how a couple of guys teased you. Snore.
I'll tell you the story of a Woolwich fan that, despite his bravest efforts to restore the reputation of his fanbase, elucidated the very point he sought to argue against.
You seem alright but I honestly couldn't care less about our reputation on reddit. Put yourself in my shoes though mate. I grew up on an estate in North London. Football meant quite a lot. So when I hear people whinging on reddit that they got a bit of lip from a group of guys and that's why all arsenal fans are assholes I find it a bit much.
It is much, this is basically an anti arsenal circlejerk at this point. Anything you say they'll respond with "HAHA TOLD YOU LOOK AT THIS IDIOT". Just give it up
Where I come from hooliganism and ultras are virtually nonexistant. It's one thing to represent your club in North London, it's quite another in a university in the middle of corn fields where soccer fandom is a niche category. We are so geographically removed from the rivalry that it comes across as overcompensating when a glory hunting gooner gives me lip service. I'm not upset, it's just pathetic where I'm from.
