a Gooner's dream |
For many people, watching football is mere entertainment; to some it's more like a ritual; but to others, its highs and lows provide a narrative to life itself... ++ the name is Sha (aka dreamfight3r) ++ English is NOT my first language, |
Starting a fresh new ones — http://goonersdream.tumblr.com/ because I was having trouble with this tumblr account as it’s my secondary, not primary tumblog. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Football has meant too much to me, and come to represent too many things. See after awhile it all gets mixed up together in your head, and you can’t remember whether life’s shit because Arsenal are shit or the other way around.

The narration to my life. =’)
The Gunners showed great character to get to the final but a costly mistake in the final seconds cost them the game and they ultimately left empty handed. Their biggest chance to end their trophy drought in the last 6 years was consequently lost. - cwdcomps
post-Carling Cup final interview with Tomas Rosicky
what defines football? The 90 minutes of emotions. Joys and heartbreaks. Ups and lows.
Nick Hornby, Fever Pitch
And with a cannon on our chest
We play with heart, and mind, and zest
And we are proud to be Arsenal
In victory through Harmony
my heart’s breaking..
I feel like my teddy bear just lost an arm.

So much hope pre-match, Gooners the world over coming together to share their love of Arsenal.
I couldn’t let these go to waste.

I’m not ‘complaining’ about the 6 years trophy-drought, I’m annoyed about people who said Arsenal won’t celebrate like Brum did should we won the final last night. As if winning the Carling Cup final doesn’t matter because It Just Carling Cup. I knew some of the Gunners made their debut and/or developed by playing CC games before they broke into first team and got the chance to play regularly. So saying something like that, like Carling Cup doesn’t matter to them, is unacceptable.
Please don’t turn and twist this into something entirely different by saying *I* am complaining about lack of trophy or whatnot. I’m not complaining, read my note carefully before you say something off-mark like that.
