I've got a few Gooner friends at work. Nice to see them less miserable this morning. And before I get loads of disagrees, they are still human beings, and football is just a game. So there.

That probably is where they've got the figure from, but we've got close to 10m on Facebook, and I don't believe for one second we have 10m fans worldwide. Man City's FB page has 31m - there is absolutely no way they have 31m fans. As has been said on other threads these social media pages are often 'liked' and 'followed' by people of follow multiple football teams pages as a means of seeing news content as they are based overseas. I'd argue that of the 37m who have liked Arsenal's page, about 50% have also liked Man City's, and Man Utd's, and Barcelona's etc etc.
It's not even in question, you are 100% right. I follow all of the major Brazilian teams on social media platforms and loads of other European teams, reverse the situation ten fold and that backs what you are saying.

In addition to that, I raised this question on Twitter and, amongst a load of nonsensical responses from triggered Gooners, I got a response from a supposed Arsenal fan with the Name "North London Is Red" but the Twitter Handle @ManCityFanboy. Go figure.

Maybe he's a North London City fan & was on his period? :cautious:

For the folk worrying about them winning the Europa, just take a look at Wenger's record in European finals. He is the only man to have taken a team to the final of all 3 competitions (in various guises- Champions League, UEFA Cup, Cup-winners Cup) and never won any of them.

Personally I hope that they make the final and lose it to a last-minute wonder goal from an ex- Spurs player. Because it's a lot of fun when stuff like that happens:

You'd want all those games of turgid football that Arsenal fans have had to sit through over and over? The turmoil over the manager? A board that doesn't listen? A half empty home ground? In fighting amongst fans?

I want a trophy, but I'm not sure chaos is the price I'm willing to pay.

"It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have
set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory."

I meant I’d swap final positions and trophies in the cabinet. Like we’d go through the same sort of turmoil if we had “endured” their past 3 campaigns! Behave

Unless one of UTD or Liverpool’s league form takes a nose dive and they finish outside the top 4 but win the CL.

But that would mean that we would overtake one or both of them. So its a win-win situation.

You can put away your razor and noose now. :D

Arsenal are lucky Burnley have been so shit for the last couple of months!

How many games did they go without a win in the end? Eleven wasn't it? Amazing that they're close to Arsenal at all.

It probably won't matter by then, but Arsenal's last home game of the season is against Burnley.

Would be great if Burnley sneaked a last minute winner.
