Bellerin criticizes ArsenalFanTV.

"I don't think there are players that actually go on the internet to watch ArsenalFanTV,"

"It's so wrong for someone who claims to be a fan and their success is fed off a failure. How can that be a fan?
I think they're just people hustling, trying to make money their way, which everyone is entitled to do."

"But for us players, it doesn't affect us. If people want to have fun with it, then have fun."
The rest: http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/11252806/bellerin-criticises-arsenalfantv


For sure, he's certainly learnt a lot from Wenger in arrogance and a sense of entitlement backed up by nothing but mediocre offerings. It's one thing for other fans to criticize any fanzine or whatever. It's another thing for players to denigrate fans who travel all over the country to watch the team play. Apart from the fact it reveals how out-of-touch sheltered players like him are, it reflects how thin-skinned he is to criticism. It's the more stupid because the Arsenal fanbase is about as anodyne and inoffensive and tolerant as a top club's fanbase can get. If he played for his boyhood club, Barca, he dare not question any section of the fan support or react to criticism. Players in such clubs very quickly learn to cope with the demands and expectations and take personal responsibility. Let's not even get into those clubs with "ultras".

Perhaps he should focus on his own performances. I've said a number of times that he is easily my worst player among the regular starters of the team. Useless in defence, and despite his pace, probably even more useless in attack. How he continues to start is beyond me.

I'm not denying how good they were/are, but I don't believe they challenged for the title. Chelsea were always comfortable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

They were 4 points behind Chelsea heading into the last 4 fixtures in May. I don't see how that is not "competing".for the title. It also hardly seems fair to write off Spurs' challenge based on the fact their only superior rivals had the 2nd best points total of the entire 25-year Premier League era. Chelsea deserve credit for that rather than looking to denigrate Spurs based on it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not denigrating anyone. I've admitted how good spurs were/are.

They may have been 4 points off with 4 fixtures, but Chelsea just had unreal form last season after we beat them. They were never gonna lose it, and nobody expected them to. It was a 7 point gap with 3 games to go.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chelsea's unreal form doesn't have anything to do with the fact Spurs DID compete for the title. I don't see how that is somehow mutually exclusive. Spurs were brilliant, but ultimately denied by Chelsea's super-consistency. A team that goes into the month of May 4 points off the leaders with 4 matches to go (and 12 points to fight for) were certainly title contenders.

Agree to disagree.

"Bellerin has a lot of growing up to do."
Why? Because he doesn't go to that YouTube page... like you said he shouldn't?
-----------------------------------------

In a thread of many strawman arguments, this is the worst. There is not one single person here that criticized Bellerin because he didn't go to a Youtube page.
The sheer absurdity of that strawman is hard to put into words.

Try:
1. Taking it in the context of the entire response rather than the bit that you decided fitted your argument
2. Taking it as the facetious response to Grand Cannon it was.

Or just be a bent out of shape over an Internet comment as you are...

Fair enough.

Just to show you where I was coming from though, Chelsea's form showed they were never gonna lose it. Not everything has to be brought down to numbers.

Of course anything can happen, but Chelsea losing it from there would have been a total shock, even Spurs fans wouldn't have expected it.

Ultimately, they finished 7 points off, same as us in 2014 when we got rag-dolled by all the big boys away from home.

@HectorBellerin

Anyway, in the @OxfordUnion talk I spoke about Mental Health, Healthy Life Balace, Racism which @RhianBrewster9 and many are subjects of in football, and other key society problems. Maybe we should focus on all opening up about these also..

Whatever, Hector. You slagged off AFTV, so F_CK you!
