The First Post

Hi readers,

This is my first post on blogspot, or for that matter, any blog. First things first, I'm a sports freak, so dont expect any other mumbo jumbo in here. This is purely for the love of sports and for people who love sports. So what should my first post be about. Anyone's guess. Its got to be about us, The Gunners. Sorry if this disappointed anyone :)

We are going through a season of mixed emotions. We have been everything this season, except consistent. We have beaten the likes of ManU and Chelsea, but have also lost the likes of Hull and Stoke. We have shown great fighting spirit, as shown in the game against Pool when we fought with 10 men to hold on, but we have lost focus when playing against some lowly sides. Injuries to key players havent helped, but we were never lucky with injuries, were we? Last season it was the chronic injuries to van Persie (henceforth referred to as RVP), Rosicky and the horrific one to Eduardo aka Dudu. This season, while we are still waiting for the latter two to come back, we have injury to Theo Walcott, our faster than the fastest winger, and our captain and talisman, Cesc Fabregas. Both are out till at least the end of March, which is a big blow to our title challenges.

Having said that, we have some precocious talents, in the names of the 17 year old Jack Wilshere and the Welsh, Aaron Ramsey. But it is still time before they become finished products, ready to compete with the big guns of the EPL. As far as EPL is concerned, this season seems to be over for us, but if we can get our stars back before much damage is done, then you never know. Football is a funny game.

Hoping for the best for Arsenal.

  1. the URL of the blog had signaled me of the upcoming content and had set high expectations which, upon visiting this blog, were met to a great extent.. Very well put and a nice topic to start with, topic as in not about gunners but the topic of evaluating the talents and the state :) , however what do you think about the idea of highlighting the glorious past in each blog (would act a means of awareness among members and kindle the appreciation for the team :))

  6. the Arsenal F.C. is referred to as the gunners, I do not know the history, if there is, behind this term except for their logo. Maybe we can expect an upcoming blog on its history :)
