Thank you Jonathan, football certainly makes for a poor mistress! However, the angst, the ire and elation, the crushing disappointment, it’s all part of being invested in something we have no control over. When all these current players are gone, when Arteta is gone (hopefully not for a long while) I like many others, will still be following The Arsenal. PROUD TO SAY THAT NAME.

That’s such a good point about having no control Drake, isn’t that the essence of it, dealing with what comes at you? I remember when Henry was at his best I knew it could never last, that I just had to deal with the fall, and the eventual rise, and the eventual fall :) But as you say, always PROUD TO SAY THAT NAME! Thanks pal :)

It certainly is Jonathan, and that dealing with what comes at you and (in my case, at least!) worrying about the eventual ending of something so marvellous as Henry and that fabulous, talented side, is part of our shared experience!

I felt some fear the last two weeks, some doubts asking myself: if it is not this Premier, when?

I want to continue enjoying this team, and I think the players are doing their best, so, why not? Being a football fan it's too exhausting, but makes life better and different.

Yes! We need to lean into the life being better and different side of things. I guess it’s just a question of winning ad losing with grace and style :)

Fingers crossed it is this year Juan.

Thanks for the comment pal

I agree with you Jonathan! I believe it's a beautiful journey starting from 2019. And it ain't over yet! COYG

Thank you lisanek! There’s so much negativity washing about it’s good to hear someone celebrating the beauty :)
