I don't assume all Arsenal fans took that approach. However I did check out an Arsenal forum at the time and saw a lot of them acting like they'd won the damned thing already and a couple were laughing at Liverpool for getting Barca (although obviously that was much worse at Chelsea and United forums). To be fair, I did see several acting more cautiously though. And Cz here certainly isn't stupid, quite the opposite, but from the post I quoted previously, he clearly thought Arsenal would go through and Liverpool would go out. It wasn't a baseless assumption.

Disappointed Boro couldn't beat United. I want all the talk about a treble to go away, and fast.
