Well, lots seems to happen, all the time, relentlessly. and yet, i can never seem to get it down here in the form of a blog despite different texts floating around my head constantly from one day to the next. I am aware that i’m not the most eloquent writer and that most probably aren’t in the slightest bit interested in what i have to say but, hey, that’s what the internet is for really in my opinion, lots of people with nothing interesting to say, saying it anyway and a fair amount of people with something very interesting to say, saying it as well, with the other people trawling through it all and deciding what they want to read. (this post for example, started out in thought at least, as the latter, but i fear less than a paragraph in, has become the former! sorry.)
Anyway, to the meat.
Arsenal, it would seem, is the most blogged about team in the universe (i’m well aware that i’m talking ‘my universe’ as i have no interest in or knowledge of other teams and their blogs). It seems to me though that too many people involved with the club from a support level ie; ST holders, Fan sites and various blogs and bloggers have become overly pompous and deserving of a voice within the club because they pay money for their various levels of supposed support or they’ve ‘been a lifelong supporter’. Such phrases as ‘this is our club’ and ‘we pay the highest prices and deserve the best players’ etc are commonplace in blog posts all over the place. I for one have grown tired of it for the simple reason that, the world doesn’t work like that. Would you go to a film at the cinema and demand that as you’ve paid your entry fee, Tom Cruise be the lead actor or you’ll call for the directors head? I realise this is a stretched analogy but i wanted to go to extreme a little bit.
The point is really that, in this horrible football world where Torres can be a liverpool player half a season then happily pledge his devotion to chelski for the other half, i would prefer Arsenal not to follow suit just so you can brag to your Man U mate that we won the league and they didn’t, all to easy to forget that some of these players have been at the club a fair few years now and whilst they are well paid, have stayed and not run for the nearest trophy winning team.Outrageous suggestions like, buying Adebayor back??? Do me a favour, this guy left for money, because he doesn’t love our club. I don’t care how good or bad a player is, if they don’t want to be here then i don’t want them here, simple as that. You can pay any mercenary to wear the colours and do a job but, sure as shit the next better offer he gets, he’ll be off so lets forget all that bullshit talk of buying this player or that player because he’s so amazing in the Real Madrid team since he arrived there less than a year ago.
What has been built at our football club over that last few years, is a group of players (with a couple of exceptions) that love Arsenal, want to play for Arsenal and are good enough to play for Arsenal. Additions are necessary obviously, wholesale changes of 6-7 players are idiotic and should be treated as such, as are suggestions that this manager is not the man for the job any more. If you want a new manager every 2 seasons as well as clear-outs every time a player doesn’t play how you in your years of wisdom and football knowledge think he should then i suggest it’s time that Arsenal football club do need to make a new signing, support that actually supports. That’s right fucknuts, you’re transfer listed, you’re no longer required by this club, don’t let the turnstile hit you on the way out.
