My case was different, I started supporting Arsenal because they legit had fine men as players. The likes of Theo Walcott, Eduardo, Carlos Vela. I mean who wouldn’t drool watching them play?"

Recall that Arsenal was defeated by Brentford on Friday, July 13, as the 2021-22 English Premier League season kicked off.

True love sprouts

According to the young lady, she understood football as time went on and fell in love with the European club. In her words:

“As time went on, I understood the sport, the club and I fell in love…hard. I was deep in love. It was no longer about how fine the players were but how good the football was.
“We had our good days, bad days, unlucky days. But in all these we showed character. Years later and I don’t feel the same way anymore, gosh.“

“We have lost so many of our amazing players only to replace them with — (don’t let me complete that statement).
“Season after Season we keep ranting about the same thing over and over again."
