I’m Arsenal like I’m Virgo. Except I got lucky with Arsenal. Born into it. North London-Irish. Growing up, I thought that one day I’d get the measure of my support, that I would find a sensible scales on which to place it. But no - it’s as mysterious to me as it ever was: a source of genuine surprise when we win and my generosity, in spirit and pocket, knows no bounds; and when we lose and I can’t find a bin big enough to take ALL my hopes and dreams.
I believe in belief. And when it comes to this club, my faith has returned.
Cheers for another quality comment man. Definitely toying with the idea that belief in a club is distinct from winning, or things going well. I think we all believe in the idea of Arsenal regardless of what's happening on the pitch, and probably always will.
"... but the truth I think is not that he believed in the right thing but that he believed at all." Well said, Tom!
Top! 👏👏👏
Deeply satisfying. Cheers, Tom.
