Football is a global game. Most fans of any big club are not local.
Thats an inevitable result of its commercial success.
Like @billyiddo said though, it is undeniably different for those of us who live and work amongst Arsenal fans who are insufferable and unbearable. You’ve said your experience with them is different and they’re ok with you and that’s fine, I think you’re very lucky but that’s not my experience of dealing with them and I can imagine most on this board who have to encounter them every day have similar experiences. Again not saying it makes us more of a fan but it’s different, I don’t see how there’s any debate about that.
