Arsenal Times has sent an email to Guardian journalist Paula Cocozza in reply to this plea in today’s Guardian for all of us to love the special one. See link to the article below email reply.
Hi,
I shall remain seated, especially as you don't seem to know too much about English Football, or at least the fans.
One area of your ignorance is the belief that fans hate all teams that win the league.
Well as an Arsenal fan I have not only watched the beautiful game but seen opposition fans applaud my team. During Sunderland's last season in the Premiership their fans applauded Arsenals football as we beat them by another big total. At Portsmouth their fans cheered and applauded Henry as he played his part in our 5-1 cup game. Henry was literally adopted by Portsmouth fans that night. I have even had Spurs fans tell me even though they hate us they cant help but admire how Arsenal play. I have not heard anyone say that about Chelsea.
Leicester fans stayed for the presentation ceremony for the invincible Championship. They gave every Arsenal player a standing ovation. Liverpool fans cheered when they heard we had gone the whole season unbeaten, no doubt Man U Fans wept.
Yes Chelsea are a good team, I wouldn't take them away from them. I wouldn't expect otherwise with the money spent. But throughout the world fans prefer the Premiership, not watching paint dry in Italy.
Maybe one day these things might happen to Chelsea. Must go there is a pig flying by the window.
Keep up the good work.
Regards
