I would never dare imply that the Emirates is now overrun with casual fans who view Arsenal as just another tourist attraction or item to check off their sightseeing list. That’s definitely not true.

Now don't get me wrong, I'd never claim the bosses at Arsenal care more about flogging overpriced scarves and selfie-merch than giving their homegrown youngsters a shot. That ain't true at all. That kind of cynical talk is completely out of line.

But you can't deny there's been a little less fire in the belly at the Emirates lately compared to the good old days. Fans don't seem to get as pumped watching the Gunners these days. The atmosphere's gone a bit soft.

And yet, they do share some camaraderie towards bookmakers simply because of the fact that they are always among the favorites in the Premier League for so many years. Whenever the season kick starts, Arsenal odds usually seamlessly find themselves short for a top four finish and a strong run in the domestic cup competitions. 

Arsenal’s attacking style of play allows fans flocking to see their games with plenty of goals, which provides great betting opportunities on the over/under markets. With so much competition for places in the Gunners squad, Arsenal betting is hugely popular, you know, amongst fans who are always wanting to foresee Arsenal's next top clutch. 

However, one might argue there's slightly less visible passion emanating from the stands at the Emirates compared to the heady days of Highbury. The electrifying atmosphere of the old North Bank appears lacking, without the same frenzied fervor reverberating around the ground. And the dazzling, free-flowing 'Wengerball' style that once defined Arsenal is now a fading memory.

But I'm confident Arsenal will recapture their magic soon. Club legends like Henry, Bergkamp, Adams and more built a special culture there. The bond between die-hard supporters and players is too strong to be discarded due to commercial pressures or tourists. Arsenal's values remain, ready to rise again when needed.

You never know what'll happen in football. One season you're written off, next you could be winning titles. Every club has its glory days again if you stick with them. But here's the thing - people still love the Gunners deep down. When they're on their game, bringing back that flair and passion of old, there's nothing better than watching Arsenal knock it around.

So don't worry - this club belongs to its lifelong, loyal fans first and foremost, not fickle consumers. Just you wait - the passion of old will return, and the Emirates will shake once more to the triumphant chorus of 'Good Old Arsenal!' as the Gunners rediscover their flair. Arsenal remains Arsenal, and REAL supporters know what that means.
