I've been an Arsenal fan long enough to remember the pain. I remember when Manchester United could beat us 8–2. When Chelsea embarrassed us 6–0. When Bayern Munich kept handing us 5–1 defeats and a 10–2 aggregate humiliation. When Barcelona, Manchester City and Liverpool treated Arsenal like three points were guaranteed. Back then, Arsenal were everybody's favourite opponent. We were called weak, soft, mentally fragile and even babies. Teams practically walked onto the pitch believing they had already won. But look at us now. Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have grown into a completely different beast. We are no longer the club everyone looks forward to bullying. We are now a serious force in English and European football. We compete, we fight, we win, and we make even the biggest clubs uncomfortable. And suddenly, the complaints have changed. The same people who once laughed at Arsenal are now complaining about our football. It's Haram football. It's boring football. It's defensive football. Apparently, winning is only beautiful when their own team is doing it. 😂 Even Arsenal fans have upgraded their complaints. We're now arguing about whether Kai Havertz or Gyökeres should start, why Eze isn't starting enough games and which quality player deserves a place in the team. Do you understand how beautiful that is? We have moved from worrying about whether Arsenal would lose to worrying about which good player should make the starting eleven. After all those years of suffering, I'll take this era every single day. Mikel Arteta, keep doing your thing. Let them complain. We remember when they used to enjoy playing us. Now they have to worry about playing us. The tears are just a bonus. 😂❤️🤍 COYG! 🔴⚪
