Due to family birthday celebrations i was at The Emirates stadium yesterday in the most fantastic seats three rows behind Arsene Wenger.
It was my first football match as a neutral and I really didn't give a shit who won, I would rather have gone to Swindon. Not that I am ungrateful for the free tickets that my brother-in-law scored as he has connections in sport, but I think it is fair to say I would rather been somewhere else.
Anyway, I digress. Everything was joyful, Arsenal were playing well and got two quick goals and then Everton pulled one back. Fuck me! I thought that we got edgy when we only had a goal to the good. I have never heard anything like it, the moaning and criticism of Wenger was unbelievable I'm amazed the bloke puts up with the shit that they gave him.
I was arguing with my Gooner family that they play Barcelona, Bayern, Liverpool etc, have had wonderful players Henry, Vierra etc, numerous days at Wembley, fantastic facilities, tradition, championships, a great manager, the ability to sign great players and always have a great chance of winning something. They didn't care and could not understand how lucky they are to support such a brilliant club. They don't deserve it
We go to Colchester, Rochdale, Port Vale and all of the other one horse towns daring to hope for a win so that we can push for a play off place. I have had one day, one fucking day at Wembley that meant anything and so many of our kids have never experienced it and would love to go to the play offs.
I tell you what, we may moan about our lot, but I would rather sit with you guys any day of the week, yes we can never aspire to be Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea etc, but we have perspective, appreciation and passion.
I glad that I am Sky Blue not a whingeing, moaning Gooner, Manch, scouser, Chelski fan.
Moan over!
