I went to down Emerites the day the Armoury opened to
happily drop a load of cash on the new Arsenal shirt. After much internal debate I bought Fabregas 4 instead Diaby 2... but in truth it was a very close call.
Unfortunately I was able only to get 2 Prem badges on my shirt rather than a single Prem and CL badge as is my custom. It was rather depressing to consider that Arsenal are not actually in the Champions League yet.
By the way, the chap at the shirt printing desk at the store made frequent whisper about the very brisk sale of C*nt 3 shirts. Apt. Why So Blue, Ash?
So... Pires, Campbell, Bergkamp, and yes, very probably Ashley Cole will have left Arsenal Football Club by the beginning of the new season. That is a massive reduction in experience for what is already a very young and green football outfit. Adding Edu and Vieira to this list of the jettisoned and it is clear that Arsenal have moved far on from the undefeated side of 2 seasons ago. That is not to say that Hleb, Walcott, Eboue, Diaby, Song, Adebayor and Rosicky cannot carry on the progress of Arsenal FC but our hopes are clearly on the shoulders of much younger players. Is this a good thing? I dont know. But Wenger thinks so and to be honest, thats good enough for me.
Lots of the fans want to see us add to the Rosicky signing this summer. They want to see our ambition expressed by tangible signings. But have they seen the new ground. It is simply the best stadium in Europe. And I've seen quite a few. Nuff said. So if we must judge by the tangible... Emerites Stadium goes a long way to proving the enduring ambition of Arsenal Football Club.
