To be sick of all the Arsenal celebrations??

I totally get it some - people are happy and excited. But the combination of the win, alcohol and hot weather has made my part of London feel really unpleasant since the big win. I went out earlier to get a few things from my local supermarket and felt really intimidated in my own neighbourhood - so many men (and yes, it is nearly all men) drinking, shouting, swearing, blowing stupid plastic horns at passers by. And now there is police and helicopters everywhere.

I am just praying for rain and cold weather, which I know will not come!

Define long? Because it’ll end up as 12 days

the last time they won was 22 years ago, they’re allowed to celebrate.

the celebrations won’t go on for long

Did they win something?

No, they lost. That's why they're celebrating 🙄

But it’s not just fun, is it?

It’s litter, it’s shouting, it’s fireworks, it’s police cars, it’s me worrying my car will get vandalised, it’s drunk boorish men being intimidating, it’s horn honking until 3am

Oh let them have some fun

I’m with you. The worst hasn’t even come yet.

I can hear the helicopters now too. Went up Blackstock Rd earlier…Jesus.
