Its a good point. Perhaps the patience wears a little thinner and the view a little more jaundiced when know you're paying the highest prices in Europe to watch an annual battle for 4th.
The sense of entitlement there is incredible. Horrible atmosphere - its like the fans were just WAITING for something to moan about. Like having a stadium full of @BW 's.
I went to Arsenal v West Ham 5 or 6 years ago after I ponced a ticket from someone at work.
0-0, shocking game. The Arsenal fans gave their own player Eboue absolute DOGS abuse all afternoon, and actually cheered when he got stretchered off injured.
