Arsenal: Y’all know we beat Huddersfield Town, right?

Arsenal fans are insufferable. The club just pulled out a hard-won three points away from home and… lo and behold, they are finding reasons to complain.

Hi, I’m an Arsenal fan. I like when my club wins, and I hate when they lose. But I also hate when they win without making it look fun. And I also hated when they lost but made it look fun, and would have rather them won ugly. I also hate when the club was unable to grind out tough results last year, but now that they are grinding out tough results, I don’t hate it, because it’s not pretty enough for me.

This is what I imagine every single fan’s “About Me” page would read, if they were honest about it. Everything that Unai Emery is doing, Arsene Wenger didn’t do. Wenger was heavily criticized for not grinding out results, not having a tough squad and not acclimating to each individual opponent.

Emery is doing all of that, with a slew of Wenger’s players.

So we’re complaining. We’re all complaining. Fans across the social media sphere think Unai Emery is a fraud, they think he’s the wrong guy, and they want someone else. Because progress isn’t progress if it’s hard, right? It’s only progress if it’s seamless.

It’s all so asinine. Here we traveled to Huddersfield Town and, sure, they are bottom of the table by a considerable margin, but they have pride. They were at home. They were so, so desperate to break the awful streak they were on and, believe it or not, as a Premier League club, they have the capabilities to make things uncomfortable for us.

Which they did. They put up one hell of a fight and that’s why it’s not the end of the world that we lost to them in a grueling battle.

No… wait… we won?!

Oh. Well then what the hell is the problem? A previous Arsenal, from a past life, would have lost that match, they’d have capitulated to the pressure and they’d have went home posting inspirational tweets about “onward to the next match,” or some crap like that.

And oh, by the way, the club was without seven key players, all of whom were starters earlier in the year. So yeah, tell me more about how, in your “expert” opinion, Huddersfield was a disappointment.

No wait, actually don’t. Because I don’t care.
