Being from the U.S. and having to be a Detroit Lions fan has been trying. Recently, however, it has been a different matter entirely. Last year, the Detroit Lions were in the National League championship game, which they lost after having a commanding lead.
However, for most of their pitiful existence, being a fan was like smacking yourself in the face, swearing, and repeating it all over again the next week. So, about five years ago, I had had enough and said to myself, "I will watch original football instead" (not soccer). I studied the teams and chose between Chelsea and Liverpool. I chose Chelsea (they had the Lions logo). LOL. Liverpool went on to win the championship! So, should I change allegiance and begin rooting for Arsenal? If you convince me, I'm all in and may even get a jersey.
I'm not one to try to convince you to follow Arsenal, but maybe give this a shot...watch arsenal on Sunday. The final day of the season. We have a chance to be champions, although from my perspective the chance is quite small.
Sometimes you just find yourself within a club and you just know that's your team. I do hope that will happen to you if you watch Arsenal on Sunday, but I can't guarantee anything.
Arsenal has a long storied history of mostly highs. We are not the the club with the most trophies, but we are certainly up there. I have hope that the next ten years will be some of the greatest years for arsenal. But who knows? I think above everything, Arsenal succeeds in being a classy club that does all the things with dignity and respect. For a great sports story, look up Arsenal championship 1989. One for the ages.
What do you think about Arsenal's chances with winning the Premier League this season? Looks like though they are currently league Man City has the advantage having played one less match. 😬
What happened to them last season? I thought they were killing it? I mean they still got second which is awesome.
Peter,

Also Joel...I do think the new Arsenal jersey is quite lovely. Just in case you decide to splurge

Hey Mike, I am hoping this is Arsenal's year! But, I think it will probably be City again who just nudge us out on the last day of the season.
This piece was written at the beginning of last season. Arsenal did so well, but in the end they fell short.
