Did I tell you I support Arsenal? 

Yeah…..I said it

I’ve been with them all these years since I was 6

I’m 26 now

I trust you can do the math

All the club greats like Ian Wright, Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry

David Seaman, Marc Overmars, Lauren Mayer, Ashley Cole

Gilberto Silva, Robert Pires, Dennis Bergkamp, Sol Campbell

Nwanko Kanu, Jens Lehmann, Freddie Ljunberg, Tony Adams

Liam Brady, Emmanuel Petit, Robin van Persie, Charlie George, David O’Leary, Cesc Fabregas, Santi Cazorla, Martin Keown, Ray Parlour, Kolo Toure, Pat Jennings, Lee Dixon, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil

To the fresh meats and bloods like Papa Sokratis, Matteo Guendouzi

Sead Kolasinac, Bukaku Saka, Maitland-Niles

Lucas Torreira, Laurent Koscielny, Petr Cech, Alex Lacazette

Pierre Aubameyang, Hector Bellerin, Granit Xhaka

To the mighty and unforgettable Highbury

Where we made history in 2014

You might want to remind yourself or check it out yourself

Sometime…am sure you’ll notice the pattern

To the phenomenal Arsene Wenger, Pat Rice & Co.

And the entire team he worked with back-stage

To give us the best show they could

Now that I think of it, this is the same team that I’ve looked at, for all the years that I’ve supported Arsenal

2004 and 2006 were very good years to remember

The Unbeaten run and our first time at the UCL Final

That day of the UEFA Champions League Final

Aaaahhhhh

I was home

And my mind had been on this one match, the entire week

So, it comes to the kick-off time, I was having my supper

I look at the screen and the boys move onto the stadium in their yellow-kit

I cried

And hid under the table as well….biting my nails

I was so happy….very anxious at the same time

Barca beat us, alright

I felt a winner that day, alongside the boys!

Then came the dry spell

As I famously called it

Season after season, the team wasn’t bagging any silverware

I literally feel the lumps growing in my throat occasionally

And the veins in my head protruding out

Damn!!!

What a time it was to be alive then!!!

And now, in the times of Unai Emery, second-half revival and urgency

Well then, let’s just how it goes.
