Fan of the Blue and His Brother

He used to be Arsenal most frenzied fan. Abruptly, he lost his faith, making him the most disappointing Arsenal fan i ever know. He lost his loyalty. He lost his allegiance. He lost his faithfulness. I lost nothing, but a counterpart in sharing the transfer market, matches, scores, schedule, preview, and just everything about Arsenal. "Arsenal Sucks," he said. His brother concurred.

Chelsea is his new passion. Something he dotes on. I think he is feeble-minded. His root is not firm. He has underestimated Arsenal by joining the sideline of Chelsea. Why? Because Abramovich dumped in few pounds to own the club. Wealth, signifying Strength, Power and Wow! He swept the market. He signed big players though some turned out to be shoddy, valueless players as it hit their twilight of their careers. The line up is strong, until now. The players are world renowned top players, multi-nations. However, some were and are frustrated. Everyone wants to be in the first team. But sorry, manager's decision is final. Whether you are the apple of his eyes or vice versa, his eyes have conveyed the message when you are on the training pitch. Never ever go against your manager no matter how great you are because they are dominant, you are diminutive. Even Beckam gotta learn to be a good boy. If you start complaining and throwing tantrum and pouting, either he will willingly open the door and invite you to leave or you gonna sit patiently on the icy-cold bench and watch you teammates to pass the ball around. You will feel envy and that's your disastrous period in your career.

Chelsea. The Blue. Stamford Bridge. Money. Aforementioned are close-linked which makes Chelsea the most prominent money-battered or money-shattered club. Without money, Arsenal fans will be cheering and show their support to Chelsea when Chelsea plays against teams like Nottingham, Bristol or even Leeds.

Undeniably, Chelsea and Arsenal fans will never ever share the common ground. They keep an eye on each other. They are interdependent outside the pitch. On the pitch, they battle to gain pride. Neither team can afford to lose. But there's one comparison between Arsenal and Chelsea. Arsenal produces enchanting and lively football. Chelsea is dull and dumb. They show no colours and beauty. Still, i respect Chelsea, because i respect my friend. His brother is still out of talk because he knows nothing but argues pointlessly and with same cliche. I am bored.

"Chelsea is dull and dumb", not one statement made out of RESPECT eh? and it may have been out of your grudges, but i would no longer diss arsenal in the same way as you've degraded chelsea, not after all these years dude. and it all depends on how one perceives it, really. yes i switched team for the goodies goodies roman granted upon the team, and yea, the team was restructed in such an intimidating way that any other team without a financial capability would jz clench in frustration and self-pity. but i'm sure arsenal could afford massive names, maybe not as many as that could bring the team into a reformation, but you get what i mean. and i do bow down to wenger for his entire concept of how a team should be formed. and yea, one would say his effort in developing the kids would eventually come into fruition. Resistance and self-belief might prove their worth at times. but before they've finally made their point, i am looking forward to your reaching the bar that we've already established up here yea.

The thing i love about football is not only that its probably the only sport i love doing and i'm better at, but also the fact of having myself being in the picture of one of the top clubs does jz as much in igniting my passion for it. its all a matter of keeping oneself in touch with the game, not for all, but at least for me. i could have persevered with arsenal, but i opted to not overload my basketful of disappointment in life.

I find it hard to argue that i hadnt lost my faith, and its jz as hard to clarify with you all those reasons behind my loss of faith. Perhaps Henry understands it better and might provide you with a better picture..
