The Green, The Red (and white), The Fans, The Irish connection, The Records, Highbury, The Cannon, The The, The Players e molto, molto altro in uno splendido articolo apparso questa mattina sulle pagine di Arseblog, il Blog (in lingua originale) che in assoluto rispecchia fedelmente il mio modo di vedere il football, l'Arsenal e tutto ciò che ruota intorno alla squadra più prestigiosa di tutta l'Inghilterra; Max mi raccomando non t'offendere, quello in lingua italiana che preferisco è sempre il tuo. Dall'articolo estrapolo due passaggi, due meravigliosi passaggi.
"I've never been one for tattoos but I always said if I got one it would be the old cannon. What a symbol of a club. It's not a cock perching on a ball, nor any other kind of bird or wild animal of varying ferocity. I'll see your wild animal and raise you a cannonball in the face. I think you'll find there'll only be one winner."
"I’m sure there are loads more if I stopped to think about it for longer, or if I had more time. But sometimes it’s worth stepping back and realising that Arsenal is something that you should cherish. It is, for all intents and purposes, a marriage, a lifelong relationship and committment.
For richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, and all that. We’re a bit sick at the moment and if you, like some columns I’ve read lately, want to leave your poorly partner because it’s all too much of a chore to lift him/her onto the toilet and then do the wiping, that’s entirely up to you. I’m sure you’ll be back once we’re on the mend though; when the good times return, which they will.
We can all be concerned and worried about where we are and where we’re going but we’ve been here before and we’ll be here again. This is nothing new in the life cycle of this football club."
