Arsenal fans are not known for their sense of optimism.
As ArsenalFanTV, the plane protests and the whole #WengerOut thing prove, some Gooners are prone to flying off the handle and being relentlessly negative about anything and everything which affects their club.
Which brings us to Arsenal supporters reacting to the release of the Premier League fixtures for the 2017/18 season.
Some Emirates regulars - the ones still capable of remaining calm and composed about football - will have looked at their team's list of 38 games and realised that, regardless of the order in which the games come, they have to play each team twice. They will have accepted that a season of Europa League, not Champions League, football is on the way and will be prepared to cheer on their team as normal.
Others, however, have taken a rather different view of the fixture list.
