Because they play ugly, boring football
Arteta's brand of haramball would make Mourinho blush. I didn't love the Wenger sides, either, but at least they were fun to watch.
Also, a couple title-free decades do not wipe away old enmities. Just ask your local Gooner how badly they wamted Liverpool to win six years ago.
Of course, Arsenal fans should disregard all of the above as sour grapes from digruntled rivals.
