Yeah, pot kettle black is correct but he does have a point, even though it applies to Chelsea too.
I also think social media stuff like Arsenal fan TV can indeed have an effect and would be a fantastic case study on the impact of social media on the behaviour of large groups of people and even humanity itself.

Happens everywhere. Those incidents aren’t the fault of Arsenal FC as a whole, same with Chelsea.
Problem is folks like Lexington here would rather point score against clubs he dislikes rather than target the actual racists themselves.
We’re never gonna get anywhere.

I guess the OP sees Chelsea as a club that has always been in the gutter, but held Arsenal in much higher regard than his own club. He is disappointed to see us fall towards their levels of depravity.

Has any other set of fans supporting a top 6 club ever booed its own players, manager and team as much as Arsenal fans? I don't think so.

Wasnt this the point? Chelsea fans hound out a manager pretty much every other season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not really true is it? The fans don't. Sarri aside, and the obvious exception of not wanting rafa in the first place, the crowd have always stuck by the managers and even sung their names after roman has swung the axe.

Yeah the notion that we routinely boo managers seemed to be breed purely from how we treated Rafa, it's simply not true.
If anything our problem is backing managers too much. Mourinho spoke about it more than once, as the manager he doesn't need the support/telling us to get behind the players. During Conte & now Frank's reigns, their names get chanted more than the players.
so not one example of them booing the manager or calling for his head ? thanks for proving my point. Cmon DJ your smarter than this mate. Booing a result is not booing a manager.
The first line even says
"Antonio Conte says it is ‘normal’ for fans to be disappointed after Chelsea were booed off following Sunday’s 1-1 draw with West Ham."

yup di matteo got similar treatment too. Infact most the time fans didn't think the players were getting behind the manager enough hence why some of the fanbase were angry at a few of our players when mourinho got sacked again, brandishing them "rats".
So the crowd boos the team off repeatedly and you don't think that is anything to do with the manager??
Word of advice to Chelsea fans, booing the team off will make those in charge of your club think the manager is not right for the job

A survey of the Chelsea Supporters Trust:
The survey reported: “There was a frustration with the style of play adopted for many games, often citing a cautious approach against ‘lesser’ teams and showing undue respect when playing rivals.
“Whilst it has been unusual for specific games to get much attention in the survey previously, this year was very different.
“Team selection, unnecessarily rigid tactics and poor game management were all cited as a problem.
“A lot of fans expressed dismay at losing the unbeaten record at home to Spurs in particular, with some critical of the performance.
“And there was a great deal of outright condemnation of the negative approach taken in the game away to Manchester City in particular.”
With fans backing you like that, who needs enemies

Same applies to Arsenal.
Fans boo Emery = Lets get Mourinho, the fans will love him
Remember all those times fans said be careful what you wish for while you were hounding Wenger out? Yeah, this is what we meant

Wenger was well past his sell by date, and at least the decline has been arrested. Now we want someone to take us forward.
Dont think I have seen anyone claim the Arsenal fan base backs Emery and has stuck by him.

looks constructive tbh, should we be like arsenal fan tv and just berate the club,manager and players? again your yet to say anything substanstial. Poor from you today DJ. All these links etc show nothing to back up anything you are saying about fans getting on managers backs by booing.
60% of fans wanted the boss sacked. Constructive, yes. Backing the boss, no.
Repeatedly booing the team off, slamming the tactics as negative, poor game management, outright condemnation of Contes approach.
Yeah, the fans were behind Conte
again, repeatedly You found two examples. even then would have been a minority. You're talking out your ass tbh.
Mind you the man city game was enough to turn anyone off the manager. Anyways theres a difference between backing the manager and booing.
We did not boo conte.
4 examples - from 5 google results based on a search of Chelsea fans Conte
But they don't show anything about booing the actual manager mate. Anyone doesn't really matter. Don't want a slanging match between fans.
In regards to the OP, Its actually a rivalry I miss with arsenal and utd nowadays when it was us three in the mid 2000s battling it out. That arsenal team as we all know was fearsome.
Hounding Wenger to get their Arsenal back. Didn’t work.
Now they want to Jose who molested their club to get their Arsenal back.
What a bunch of shameless fans.
