Their careers have gone nowhere at Arsenal, but they suffer from psychotic delusions of grandeur and that's like their fan base: hence, the connection.Even Bendtner is getting in on the act, and I've just seen Arteta crying during his send off.
Arteta, Bendtner, Sczcesny and Podolski are all so maligned by their fans, yet they still have some attachment to that club. I don't get it.
