Have we fans lost perspective?

[PGFC]

Well, if you will look at it that way.

[Syn]

Our problem isn't that we've lost perspective, it's that we haven't gained perspective. It's like watching Wrestling is fine when you're 13 but then you grow out of it. We haven't grown out of this idea of having a favourite team. And we should have, because they don't give a fuck about you. There is no 'community' feel, there are no local players defining the side and you're wasting energy supporting a bunch of strangers. On the one hand I get irritated with people who 'love' the Queen and the monarchy. And on the other hand, I get annoyed when Shawcross hacks down Cazorla. I'm a fucking idiot tbh. As are us all.

I got this far:

Arsenal Fans Need To Accept They Are The Biggest Problem With The Club

And realised I didnt need to read anymore as its another article which really doesnt have a fucking clue why us as fans are pissed off.

Shit article

/thread

[IBK]

Unfortunately that doesn't exist in football. Arguably never has but it's got worse in the Premier League era.

As for the article, it's not very good. I accept we can't compete with City, Utd or Chelsea. What I can't accept is not even trying to, fleecing the fans with silly ticket prices and relentless marketing and sitting back and watching the money roll in.

I agree re the article, but I ask again, are we Gooners united behind our club or have we let our frustrations undermine what it means to support a club. Just askin'.

[Marc Overmars]

I don't like half the shit I see and hear every week but come matchdays I'm always willing the team to do well, I don't think that's letting my frustrations undermine my support. Supporting the team is one thing but being forced to accept something is another.

Is it the same as 10 years back though? Not just on the level of trophies of course, but in terms of feeling it for days after when the team has won or lost? Reading all the back pages, buying 5 newspapers to get slightly different takes on how the lads did or how they didn't (yeah I used to do that)? I couldn't tell you what goes on at Arsenal these days, but previously I knew who was coming through the ranks, what the upcoming fixture list was, I could instantly recall how many points behind or ahead we were of so-and-so, work out the goal difference, figure the points tallies from upcoming games (including the other clubs). Now I don't know who we are playing next week until a thread gets posted here. In fact this place might be the only thing keeping me in touch with the club. Don't know about you but for me it's not the same - nowhere near it.

If Arsenal fans weren't charged the highest prices in the game to support the club then this article wouldn't be completely crop.
