Guys, I have a serious question. Please, no jokes.
I am an Arsenal fan and I always hear about Yanks supporting Arsenal. Is that a fact or just meme?
Also, since Arsenal haven't had the same success as other English and European teams, and because, I assume, most Americans have started following football fairly recent compared to other nations; shouldn't they be like your average gloryhunter (sorry) that only support successful teams?
For example, in my country, football is more popular than in the States, but because most of us, excluding me of course, have started following football from ~2005, everyone is either a Madridista or Barca. No one even knows most English teams. So, why do Americans support Arsenal instead of ManU? Or El Classico instead of the EPL?
THANKS.
because americans are dumb and that's why they would support a dumb team

I said no jokes, cunt.
arsenal are the best, will win the league this season
Cause they're nickname has to do with guns
>>63827186
ill take the bait.
more peopel suppport an u here than any other, but those are mostly arabs.
you can find support for every pl team, you are meming the meme
Arsenal is very much a franchise and a brand, I think that attracts Americans because it has a clear identity and method, it's a very easy club to follow because you get spoon fed every aspect of the club and can know everything relevant about the club in a week or two because of Wenger being there for 20 years so you don't have to grow up around the club to join in on proper discussions.

it's not a fucking meme. just answer.
>>63827272
>>63827286
no fucking memes
>>63827320
you are almost correct
Arsenal is in fact popular among americans because arsenal is the most keked team in the world and americans can relate
>>63827324
Those are all Mertesacker's kids.
>>63827320
So, why are there too many eternal arsenal threads. i always thought i was the only fucking one who supported arsenal.
>>63827320
Only the just and righteous support the Arsenal.
>>63827350
Love the fact that WESTERN EUROPE and New England, the best places in Europe and America respectively, support us. thanks for making me happy, Mr Farage.
>>63827350
why do Slavs support Sunderland?
Is it because they both wear tracksuits and can't speak English?
>inb4 Man City
I support Arsenal and AC Milan. Why? Because when I used to play Fifa 2006 on PlayStation 2 they were the first teams that came up when you picked uk or Italian leagues. To this day I can name the 2006 starting 11 for both teams. No idea who is on them today though.
>>63827389
begovic?
>>63827385
desu senpai the west is so keked wanting their support shouldn't be sought after
>>63827421
THE WEST IS THE BEST, MATE.
>>63827412
Begovic plays for Chelsea
Before that he played for Stoke
>>63827412
Begović is canadian :^)
>>63827389
Isn't that Manchester City? Would make sense since the area of City support roughly covers Bosnia.
>>63827438
>Begovic plays for Chelsea
pretty sure the map is at least a year old
>Before that he played for Stoke
right. did some other player from bosnia play for sunderland?
or this >>63827445
>>63827412
he played for Stoke before Chelsea
>>63827436
Only reason Arsenal is on that map so much because Arsenal fans are all fucking over twitter

Fucksake Liam, get the fuck out of my thread.
I personally became a fan because of Ozil. I never really followed the sport, but Ozil was always who I watched. So when I decided to follow the Premier League, I sort of adopted Arsenal because my favorite player plays for them
>>63829233
I actually started watching the Premier League because of Ballack, and because I had a lot of time to fill. Started really liking Arsenal in 2010/11, them getting Podolski and Özil was the last nail in the coffin for me, watch every game now.

I'm a Yank that likes Arsenal. Maybe I can answer. I was like 15 it was around 2005 and my parents got a obscure TV package and we got a few britbong channels. The britbong channels showed some epl games and Arsenal was on ALOT cause it was the Henry days. So I just took a liking to them and stuck with it. Kind of boring story but the best answer i can give you really

>why do English-speaking people tend to bandwagon Englishit teams
>>63827186
who is this qt?
no pedo
I support Everton because the are a respectable mid-upper table team who 2 American heros have played for. Any other team would just be bandwagoning if I'm going to be honest
When the globalisation of the Premier League came in the early 00s Arsenal were the fashionable stylish sophisticated team with a reputation for playing 'pretty' football, therefore becoming the foreign bandwagoner's choice.
