Massive Attack - Future Proof (live)


Just like any other fan, I don't want Arsenal to lose or go through a bad streak. It's fairly obvious for anybody that a fan wants wins, success and all that.

But I have to accept now that football is not really cyclical or polar or parallel - it's very much a long term struggle. A fight. A never ending fight that inevitably ends in death. Maybe it's all about finding meaning amidst the chaos of life. As long as somebody can attach themselves to something, it all makes sense.

Football carries with it community. Maybe it is all anthropological because we're all looking for that state of fight and tribalism. Isn't that just crude?

The other day, while sitting down, a couple behind me were engaged in their own thing on a couple of computers and the man said to the woman something about a footballer. The mans language was natural while the girls was clearly from the books of Sky Sports and Match of the Day.

Oh what would somebody do to feel like they belong!

Can we trust Arsenal? How long have we waited? We're different to other clubs. We went through a stage of massive success over and over again but now we've attempted to win something and lost out completely over and over again.

The excuses... well, usually to do with money (but don't we have a never ending profit of 30 million plus year on year?) or the other excuse to live up to some higher belief of football where you believe in kids (oh F*** OFF!) and live with in our means (I think we're just stingy).

I mean, where does this c*** about developing kids come from? Who really gives a s***! Just get the F*** out there and buy some players, win some trophies under Wenger and get another 2 million fans to buy your shirts!

Is that difficult? Come on now, have I got this the wrong way around?

We just got beaten by two teams playing some outstanding football.

I don't trust a club who don't put effort into winning trophies when it is very simple. I think that's not only pathetic but pretty inconsiderate, irresponsible and unfair for the fans.

Greed? LOL... I think a bunch of suits outlining the desires and hopes of millions of "football"1 fans with outstandingly poor romanticised BS is Greed... :D


1. Football is a game where you try to win games and trophies on the basis of the available resources.
