Premiership.




Hi Guys
Well now that my orals are over thought that i could spend some time blogging.
Inspired by Bhambri Sir, here goes
Arsenal from being title contenders go on to become not good enough to be in the top four in one week. I started watching premiership courtesy of two of my friends in college back in 2005 guess what it was FA CUP final. I was watching it in the recreation room of our hostel and there were around hundred of us watching in front of a 52 inch television i was of course a neutral, but as the game went on I noticed that none of them were supporting Arsenal. i have always had the tendency to support the underdogs right since my childhood and that automatically drew me towards arsenal. Thus began my journey of being an arsenal fan, but i must say this may be because of me arsenal has failed to win a single trophy since then. then when i started supporting there was no looking back we moved to a new stadium the bergkamp testimonial in the highbury.A new team was built after viera and pires left, the champions league final everything made the bond towards arsenal stronger. I noticed a team unique among other clubs, unique manager, unique market policy, unique ownership whereas other teams like manu chelsea and liverpool all were taken over by new owners.

I started playing football for the first time in my life at the age of 20 and slowly started getting good at it never made it to the college team though there were people who just could not accept
that a guy can learn decent football in couple of years.

I am not a glory hunter unlike other fans for example my room mate was a liverpool supporter when they won the champions league and then a manu supporter when they won it.
In India we do not have traditional support if u know what i mean it is not like that my father is an arsenal supporter then i became one, it is not even geographical like people born near Merseyside support either everton or liverpool. We support these teams for reasons which are abstract and pretty tough to explain.

we support because we love the game there is this friend of mine who is a man city supporter since past 8 years, well before they became rich, it is these kind of people who make Indian supporters unique and a breath of fresh air among other glory hunters.

Adios my friends i think this supplement is enough for you'll for now
