Yes, we certainly were. However, we were accused of negative tactics back then when we were successful (offside traps, rough tackles, boring football, etc). Some justified, a lot not.
I loved those days despite the critics, even if our footballing style has become more fluid over the years.
Well, they were punching up rather than down. Vinny Jones quite literally. ;-) I suppose watching them getting thumped 5-1 was a bit cathartic.
BTW, I suppose it wouldn't surprise you if I said that I really enjoyed Arsenal's George Graham years.
Sad news. RIP.
I used to watch him playing for Arsenal in the latter years of his career in the early '80s. Solid player and was well liked.
I'm an Arsenal supporter for my sins. Been so since a small child in the early seventies.
However, I used to live in South-West London back then, a few miles from Wimbledon. My mother wouldn't let me go to Arsenal in the late seventies, as she was worried about the hooliganism problem back then. However, she allowed me to go and see Wimbledon FC when they were in the third and fourth divisions (they yo-yoed between the two back then). So I went to see them for a couple of seasons until my mother eventually relented and allowed me to make the trip up to North London to see Arsenal.
I still follow Wimbledon, now AFC Wimbledon, as a second team and look out for their results. Loved the Crazy Gang back in the '80s. Winning the FA Cup was great. The fans reclaiming their club from Franchise FC is a lesson for all fans.
Last season was a bit worrying for them. Hopefully the corner will be turned next season.

That does look quite familiar and cool.
I started on Mandrake 8.1. I owe Mandrake a lot for starting me off on Linux over twenty years ago.
Yes. We had a great, well organised defence - Adams, Dixon, Bold and Winterburn - which tended to stifle the opposition. So it was quite often that if Arsenal scored, they were quite likely to win. Obviously this didn't happen all the time, but it was often enough for it to be noticed.
