So, this is going to get me mauled and downvoted but I have a confession to make: Even if I support this club by heart, am I the only person who tries to support some underdogs or smaller team like Luton to succeed in the Prem? I know it’s a lost cause and eventually I could hate them if we got beaten by them. But in the end, I just can’t help but find some smaller clubs like Luton to be fascinating even if I support Arsenal with all my heart.
Doesn’t that how football works? I love following the Championship and League 1 and always have a few clubs that I wish to do well for the season. As for the PL I have a soft spot for Bmouth and what they are trying to do.
Speaking of that, I will say that I do feel sad towards other clubs who faced real struggle like Southend United, Reading, Wigan, Birmingham City, Scunthorpe, Portsmouth, Leyton Orient, Bolton Wanderers and so on and so forth. Those club fates made me starting to appreciate Arsenal more and be grateful towards our current status even if we have our own struggles. I don’t want to dunk on those clubs I mentioned because what happened to them is absolutely fucked but at the same time, I wish that most of them bounced back in the end despite the trials and tribulations that they had. And it’s why clubs like Luton feels fascinating for me due to their current position now.
That’s most people?
We love an underdog in the UK and to be honest even though we absolutely fucked our last chance at getting a title under Wenger I still was supporting Leicester to do the impossible.
Not really. I’ve always liked and respected Brighton. You probably couldn’t call them pure underdogs at this point, but their scouting system, development and playing style is all really admirable and it all seems to have happened very organically. I obviously wouldn’t say I support Brighton but I like seeing them do well and making European football.
Also, as others have mentioned, in 2016 our situation was made a lot less sickening by the fact it was a team like Leicester that won the league.
Gonna have a bit of a pipe dream that if Luton survives, it would be funny that they will win the league next. But nah considering some people already tip them to go down anyways due to their weak squad. Regardless, it still would be interesting anyways. Even so, if Luton go down, hopefully they somehow came back stronger.
