Arsenal Or Super Eagles: Which Is Worse? by Johnnoah1st: 2:27pm On Jan 04, 2013
“Gunners for life”!!! ... Are
you freaking kidding
me Chant not that
phrase at me any more if
you don’t want both
hands of mine shoved
down your throat. OK, I'm
kidding. But on a serious
note, please don’t. ?
Sometimes, I ponder which
is worse; being a
supporter of Arsenal FC
or of the Super Eagles (or
Nigerian football in
general). Both teams are
high-end distributors of
hypertension.
You know, growing up, I
had no choice but to love
football. I was born into a
family where my father
had so much passion for
football; all I had to do
was follow suit.
Once I became a lover of
football, supporting
Nigeria was no more a
choice, it became an
obligation.
I remember Atlanta 96
(Olympic Games), I and my
Dad (funny enough, I’m
the only one of 5 kids,
who has love for football)
stayed up all nights to
see our games including
the 4-3 defeat of Brazil in
the semi-finals and later
on Argentina in the
Finals.
Those were however,
some of the rare
highlights of being a fan
of Nigerian football as far
as my age is concerned
(not too old neither too
young cheesy).
Further down memory
lane, being a fan has had
some exciting moments
but it only gets worse as
the years go by. Nigerian
football (Under17, 20, 23;
Super Eagles, Super
Falcons, Falconets,
Flamingos) has become a
hyper-giving sport for
passionate lovers of the
game.
Well, the reason for
decadence in Nigerian
football is not far-fetched
as I wouldn't expect much
from a country with bad
governance.
Arsenal Football Club are
not far different from the
Super Eagles. Both teams
get your hopes so high
and then dash them when
you thought “this is it”.
But the only major
difference would be
management.
You see, I became a fan
of the North London Club
by choice and it’s still by
choice although I find it
difficult bowing out (I
perceive the use of
voodoo a.k.a illuminatti
syndrome).
How I got myself involved
with this “next season”
English club, is something
I wouldn’t thank Nwankwo
Kanu (the hero of Atlanta
96) for.
Nigerian football Legend,
Kanu, made me like the
Gunners. His miracle at
Stamford Bridge against
Chelsea FC in 1999 was
the “liking point”.
The Gunners have had
their own good spell of
glorious moments. But just
like Nigeria and every
other team, they have
also had their
“blackouts”; with the
blackouts steadily leading
the contest.
Only just recently the
North London side were
treated to their regular
eviction party as THEY
(no more referring to
them as WE) were
bundled out of the Capital
One Cup. Guess who
knocked THEM
out...........BRADFORD CITY!!!.
No disrespect to the
Division II side though,
but you would’ve
expected a club like
ARSENAL to make me
proud. THEY never did.
Now the question on my
mind is “being a fan of
Arsenal, is it good or
bad”?
The answer is......................it
is BAD!!!
I will start by pointing out
the key features of this
club or should I say what
every has now known the
club to be in the past 8
years, no thanks to the
Frenchman, Arsene
self-servicer, sorry... I meant,
Arsene Wenger.
Inconsistency: Ever
pondered why a team
would win a game by as
much as 5, 6 goals and
lose their next game with
a dismal performance and
not even to a better
team? Ponder no more,
it’s Arsenal. It’s become a
trademark for the North
London team. The
Gunners are more
confused than the wind or
should I say MTN.
Please don’t let your life
be that way. Be consistent
in success. Yeah, they
won 7-3 against
Newcastle, good! Let’s
pray they win their next
match.
Trophy-less in 8
seasons: As an adult,
living for eight years
without achieving a single
thing? Deliverance will be
advised.
“Next season” chants:
Arsenal fans are fond of
the “next season”
phrase. “Next season we
will win a trophy”. That is
something I call ”hopeful
hopelessness”.
You expect things to
change but you don’t
change the way you do
things...Are you a
learner? What are you
expecting... divine
intervention right? Keep
on waiting, it is coming.
Being contented with
finishing second, third or
fourth to the
champion: Wenger was
quoted to have said that
finishing fourth in the
league and securing a
Champions league spot is
better than winning the
league or FA cup. What
the heck
My brothers and sisters
please reject that for
your life. It is a loser’s
spirit straight from the pit
of hell. Why would you
always want to walk in the
shadows of a champion,
don’t you ever want to be
in that Hall of fame? Once
again, bind and rebuke
such spirit.
Buy inferior players and
expect Messiless delivery
from them: For goodness
sakes, Arsenal is the fifth
richest football club in the
world. THEY have the
money to spend on
Cristiano Ronaldo
(including his manicure,
pedicure and hair salon
expenses) if they want to.
But nooooo!!! They would
rather buy a “Chinko
blackberry and expect it
to ping”.In life, you are
expected to always go for
the best when the money
is there. Imagine Dangote
driving around in Gulf 2
(no offence to owners of
that cool ride...Just an
illustration) O_O.
Sell Gold and buy dozens
of Copper:Who does this
better than Arsene
self-servicer?...sorry once
again, I meant Arsene
Wenger.Everyman is
expected to have a good
taste for awesome things,
but the North Londoners
do exactly the opposite.
They sell craftsmen and
replace them with “make
believe” craftsmen (Van
Persie ? Giroud; Nasri ?
Gervinho; Fabregas ?
Ramsey; Song ?Arteta;
and many more). There
are other salient features
of the Emirates Stadium
club side but I’m done for
now. If you still deem it fit
to be a true and
passionate supporter,
good luck! As for me I
think I’ve had enough of
their loser’s instincts.
And if you think the Club’s
way of life is not affecting
the way you reason, think
again, because you need
to start reasoning like a
champion and not 2nd,
3rd, or 4th to nobody.
I’m club-less (a lil bit
attached to the ‘next
season’ club though) for
now...waiting for good
offers.
However, I’ve been
thinking Manchester City
and Real Madrid. cheesy
