When the Manchester City v AC Bournemouth match ended in a 1-1 draw on Tuesday night, giving Arsenal an irretrievable win, the relief and joy that erupted amongst Arsenal supporters was beyond belief – the pure, unbounded ecstasy of “Arsenalotary” was in full display after more than two decades of shattered dreams! And who knows what might happen if Arsenal were to defeat PSG on 30 May, and also win the UEFA Champions League?
I love Arsenal fans. I sometimes think there can’t be many of them who won’t make good spouses or lifetime friends.
It takes the patience of Job and the fidelity of a monk to support a team through 22 winless seasons and 835 matches, and still have the heart to sing, “The Angel (North London) Forever,” each match time that they filed out to play in the last three years or so since the song was adopted.
