I really did not think Arsenal got under people’s skin as much as they clearly do. The criticism of Arsenal’s celebrations this season has been frequent and consistent. But most of all, it has been rather embarrassing for all those in involved.
No matter the game, no matter the position in the table, Arsenal have had a target placed on their back by fans, players and pundits. The win over West Ham United sparked yet more sourness which, to be honest, has become rather satisfying.
Arsenal have not had enough bite about them. Labelled the ‘nice guys’ too many times and it has been a part of the regression the Gunners have experienced over the course of the last decade-plus.
