Arsenal won. A tribute to that breed in a Boys hostel.
The first thing they do after occupying their room on Day 1, is to show evidence of their club loyalty on their wall, a flag a scarf, a doormat. These are the guys who are Oooh-ing, Aaah-ing infront of the Hostel TV, late night, while you prepare your Maggi on the induction stove. Your tier-2 FIFA World Cup watching self could never warm up to this urbane phenomenon. These blokes know their stuff, well versed with stuff like the transfer window, fantasy league, Alex ferguson etc. Non Manchester United fans are at a higher plane. Man-U guys are mostly entry level recently inducted folks. No disrespect to old timers. These are the guys who school you seasonal fans when you tune into the World Cup supporting your fair-weather Brazil or Argentina. “Watch more football bro”
The Premier League Fans. The Gunners. Congratulations :)
Mikel Arteta was at home tonight. He watched Arsenal secure a Premier League Title after 22 years surrounded by his family.
I leave you with this to remember tonight.
It will always be about the people who show up when its not easy to support you but they see the vision.
