Has the government been doing some sort of Arsenal fan quantitve easing in the past 10 days or something?
I've just travelled back from Stratford and masses of them are popping up everywhere all of a sudden? It is quite unsettling .
A bit like a scene from 28 days later!

Even down here in Plymouth theres definitely more walking around in the shirt, I just shout Woolwich rejects at them.8

My youngest picked up a mate at Woking station around 8 this evening, absolutely crawling with Arsenal coming back from the parade - mental0

Maybe now they lost to PSG all the shirts can go into a sort of black hole never to be seen again. An Arse nul perhaps.3

I believe there is something similar happening out in Australia, where they are being swarmed by millions of Arsenal supporting mice.3

They are insufferable.14

To be fair it is their first league title for a generation. 22 years since the last one so unless you're at least 27 you'd have no memory of them winning it.

AI estimates that Arsenal sell between 1 and 1.5 million shirts globally. I thought I saw that many on a short drive around Bexleyheath on Saturday.

There the biggest club in London; which will ripple out in the Home Counties and globally, it’s not that hard to work out4

Proper old school Arsenal fans are fine, it’s all the newer fans that couldn’t point to The Emirates on a map that are annoying.Bedsaddick said:They are insufferable.9 -
Somewhere near Iran isnt it?6

Proper on the bandwagon, been watching all these vids of packed out pubs in Ipswich and Swindon and these morons haven’t been anywhere near The Emirates
Mate of mine took his boys up there yesterday like it was some sort of pilgrimage
Just fuck off
If anti football would have beaten football on pens on Saturday they would have been insufferable13 -
You can imagine the conversations that will follow those scenes. ‘We’ve got all these millions of fans, how do we capitalise on it ? I know, let’s raise prices….’ Serves them right. 😉

Went out in Leigh on Sea yesterday, normally West Ham, Spurs and then an even spread of teams, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Southend and a few northern glory hunters.
Yesterday, I think my Son counted at least fifty people wearing Arsenal shirts, not sure where they have been.
Funny though, stopped to say hi to one guy I knew, years ago he was Man United.
I don’t get these people, one club for life, it’s simple.6 -
There were about 10 blokes on my flight back from Glasgow to London with Arsenal shirts on yesterday morning, assume they were going to the parade.

People acting like this doesn’t happen with other clubs. I remember when Chelsea won the CL, they came out of nowhere. Same with West Ham ‘fans’ when they won the Conference League.9

The majority of clubs has an overload of old fans that come out of the woodwork when a major achievement happens, say win a Title, a cup final or chance of a promotion at Wembley. That will never change0

TBF, there was even an overweight lady and her chubby son wearing Palace shirts walking through Wimbledon near the station last week. I think they must have been passing throughValleyGary said:People acting like this doesn’t happen with other clubs. I remember when Chelsea won the CL, they came out of nowhere.

And happened with us (on a smaller scale) when we suddenly had 40k fans wanting to go to Wembley.ValleyGary said:People acting like this doesn’t happen with other clubs. I remember when Chelsea won the CL, they came out of nowhere. Same with West Ham ‘fans’ when they won the Conference League.6 -
I suspect the majority of those had previously been to The Valley at least once in their lifetime, possibly since.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I don’t think it happens on this scale with Chelsea etc. I’ve been pretty surprised at the sheer number of Arsenal fans who seem to have appeared out of thin air the past few weeks. The most surprising was coming back from Hyde Park the Sunday of the bank holiday weekend. Saw tons of Arsenal fans in their replica shirts wandering around throughout London, on the tube etc. The most curious part was that Arsenal were playing Crystal Palace in their final home game of the season at the time - you’d think such big fans would have been watching the match?!ValleyGary said:People acting like this doesn’t happen with other clubs.

The support is bigger than Chelsea's; it always has been. I know I've said this before, but they are the biggest club in London by a country mile, and the last couple of weeks have brought that out a bit more. But it's always been there, their support is spread more across London's communities as well, no other club has thatse9addick said:

Arsenal are the club non-football fans in and around London will attach themselves to. Plus when I was a kid during the Wenger years, glory hunting Arsenal fans weren't looked down upon as badly as United fans because Arsenal was at least a London club.
This enormous fanbase on show over the weekend is almost entirely built up of people who don't even check the scores on Saturday, and just say they support Arsenal to be involved in conversations in social settings.11 -
Everyone at the parade were glory hunters. The wear Arsenal fans were travelling back from the final3

Can't go anywhere without seeing Arsenal tops at the moment ffs. Just done a Gatwick drop and there's a Private Hire driver in front of me with the black top on (pretty sure that aint allowed, it aint in my jurisdiction anyway), and a couple walking through South Terminal drop-off, hand in hand, AND wearing what looks like brand new, "his n hers" Arsenal tops.
When have either ever been acceptable?? I nearly vomited up my Coconut Yfood drink
Games gone....1 -

I would say only Man Utd and Liverpool have larger fanbase in this country
and Sheff Weds of course1 -
