In general from my social media experience this season I would say 85-90% of Arsenal's fan base are hoping for top four and thinking it's a realistic target; then the rest is split between hopelessly delusional (we're winning the league!) and endlessly negative (yesterdays loss means top half finish is best case).

If you think I actually searched for fans who think that they're winning the league, you're insane. You don't have to look far at all. Browse through the comments on the Score app or almost anything and you'll see these people. It's hardly a targeted search.
