It’s a bizarre plea from a fanbase that seemed to take extreme pleasure in taunting West Ham fans last summer over the sale of Declan Rice. The Gooners fans have a very active online presence and seem to spend much of their time trolling and taunting other teams’ supporters.
The dynamic of the Arsenal fan base has changed somewhat following years of viral video clips, which appear to have attracted a keyboard warrior element to their support.
West Ham was on the receiving end of a lot of internet activity during the Declan Rice saga, some of which crossed the line beyond football banter.
Therefore, it’s somewhat amusing to see Arsenal fans pleading with West Ham to somehow do them a favour by defeating Manchester City. There doesn’t appear to be too much goodwill towards Mikel Arteta’s title chasers, who seem to have made themselves the most unpopular fanbase in the Premier League.
However, even if West Ham fans wanted Arsenal to win the title, it would still come down to the 11 players on the pitch, and anybody who has seen David Moyes‘ teams play at the Etihad would know that things don’t look too good for Arsenal.
