When you see which one of the promoted teams gets a telly you'll be shocked!!

One of the 3 promoted sides are getting a telly?

I think he's finally lost it

You lads don't refer to a televised game as a telly? Every day's a school day

No, ‘fraid not so, as you say, every day’s a school day.

Whining already started in North London, some Arse fans reckon there’s a conspiracy as SecondPlaceFC have a difficult start to the season.

There was great post on socials with an Arsenal fan bitching about thias but adding, wthout a hint of irony or self awareness "We won't complain, we'll just suffer in silence"

Are they the absolute worst or is it just the way my algorithm seems to be working??

Arsenal fans are deffo weird on all this stuff.

also, difficult start = easier elsewhere in the season. They end the season with Palace, Burnley & West Ham

tbf to them, Arsenal have to play the champions twice (2), whereas LFC don't

Momentum i.e., Amorin, could be sacked if he has a bad start

That might be an issue for basket case clubs admittedly

I do get that, and I have argued in the past that some stories are written in football about X happening when in reality it was just a tricky run of fixtures, but we all know this, so why are Arsenal fans so weird about it?!

It's not as if the other 19 teams don't have to play the same games at some point

[Snowflake Royal]

Isn’t it more the middle/end of the season Arsenal need to worry about, not the start?
