#2 Earn a degree in failure
While there are not many universities in this world that offer this course, being an Arsenal fan means that one must have the ability to fail—and fail some more.
When you follow Arsenal, you will be devastated in the most excruciating of ways—something Bane did in The Dark Knight Rises. He gave the people of Gotham hope despite setting off an atom bomb that would explode in a few days.
With Arsenal, you will be given hope just like that. They will sign some average players and coat that by signing someone extraordinary. They will play well in the beginning, lead the table for a while, and you will feel like this, perhaps, is the year of the Arsenal.
And then comes the despair. A failure so bad that finishing top 4 becomes the priority instead of meeting the expectations that you had before. And you must be prepared for it.
Try taking out all the paste from the toothpaste container and then try to put it all back in without cutting it. That would prepare you for failure like nothing else.
