Choose Arsenal. Choose overbearing arrogance. Choose systematic dirty play and calling it "competitiveness". Choose the most staged, contrived, celebrations ever witnessed. Choose winning two championships in eleven seasons and acting like you've won seven in nine. Choose to see yourselves as one of the giants of continental football when you've never even reached a European cup semi-final in your entire history. Choose having the quietest stadium in the world ("the library") as your home ground, and then having the cheek to slag Man Utd about their fans. Choose fancying yourselves as better than Real Madrid, then having Chelsea run rings around you at home. Choose turning the sports section of the Observer into a gunners fanzine. Choose getting away with light or delayed punishments at FA disciplinary hearings because you've had every possible string pulled by David Dein. Choose a persecution complex nonetheless and never shut up about it. Choose embarrassing yourselves in a Renault "va-va-voom" ad Choose George Graham grinding his way to the dullest championship win of all time. Choose picking Ray Parlour for over a decade. Choose 58 red cards in seven years. Choose bottling the treble despite having all the luck in the world. Choose Arsenal.
Excellent
