One of my closest friends ia an ardent Arsenal fan and that is to put it mildly. I think the word fanatic is an understatement!
Eversince the Premier League came to a close last month, its as if life came to an end. But thats neither here nor there as far as i am concerned. What bothers me or unsettles my simple mind is that the news coming out of Emirates is causing enough trauma as it were. Consider this: Henry has gone to Barcelona for $32.30M just when there were rumours that his friend Trezeguet would be signed at Emirates!
As if that isnt enough, Wenger has not extended his term basically because the former Manager David Dein's return is one of the conditions for him to guarantee his commitment for another season! Then there is the issue of Fabregas that Barcelona and Madrid are after him. Infact, it seems that the Spanish La Liga vultures are hovering for the kill, to get the best form the team that is said to play the sexiest game!
The million pund question is whether Arsenal will rise again. Its woes if that is what they are, are causing myriad migraines to my friend! Its the price of addiction to soccer!
But as one of the distraught fans was telling me last night, Arsenal has been in existance from the 1886 and Henry appeared on the scene close to a century later making it look as though he was the life and blood of the team. He wasnt trying to console himself, as he said, rather i took that as a very pragmatic look at reality.
But then, what do i know about the soccer madness?
