The death threats and righteous indignation have been well publicised and on the Internet it isn't any better with people hoping that Rooney loses the use of his legs: http://www.bluekipper.com/home.html
I can't stand these supposed 'fans' who will turn on someone who a year ago was legally a child in such a fashion. It's truly disgusting this ultra defensive attitude towards a football club, the lack of perspective and believing that everyone should have their * level of fanaticism to something that at the end of day is just entertainment. With the Vieira saga about the limit of distaste from Arsenal fans was whether or not we should boo him if Real Madrid were to play at Highbury. When I walk down Avenell road I always feel safe whilst some premiership grounds I never want to go near. The west stand might be quieter than a monastery but at least our fanbase isn't full of Chelsea style bruisers and racists.
Not much point to this topic other than to say our team are on another level but also as gooners we seem to be at a higher stage in evolution to most other football fans. With the increased participation in chants this season we also seem to be striking a good balance between passion and perspective.
