Wenger and the gang would have initially had no concept of mere pleb fans being interested in "our affairs", so I guess the "disrespectful" baying of the unwashed came as a surprise. We're supposed to cheer when the team wins and stay quiet when they lose. Just as the board cheers when Wenger has a plan and shuts the fuck up when he invariably doesn't. Wenger said as much - be more like spud fans. His cynical calls for fans to "get behind the team", when there wasn't a single banner or plane displaying "Time for the team to leave".
What we've been watching is disconnected individuals operating in their own little empire and being taken aback by the reaction of "ungrateful" fans who have had the temerity to comment on issues that they have no business mentioning. This has created the corrosive atmosphere poor Arsene has had to deal with. Oh, and the team that ran its bollocks off for a trophy but jogged through the season, well those poor lambs were affected too. So says their daddy, even if players like Bellerin have relayed an entirely different story.
When the voices of the grubby fans became intolerable, then we started hearing about directors of football and almost signing Mbappe and Arsene being personally aggrieved than plebs had found the audacity to question his years of mediocrity.
Off we go again. Round and around. A manager and board completely out of touch, a fanbase divided between those who can see 10-2 defeats and 18 point deficits for what they really are and the rest who believe it is impolite to scream when their anus is tearing.
