You know why? I'm crazy nervous about the Liverpool game, and I still go onto Arsenal-mania and read the Liverpool v Arsenal thread. Which is fine, if everyone was confident that we're good enough to pull off a win, but noooo, they're all convinced that we're going to have a hard time and they'll be happy with a draw.
I have this weird churning feeling in my stomach right now that doesn't feel quite right. Reading that stupid thread isn't helping. But I can't tear myself away from it! Gah. ):
At the very least if we lose/draw I won't be too surprised. It's not going to make it any easier, but no surprise with bad things >>> surprises about bad things. Still, I would hate for us to lose this match that, because if we do ManUtd stay top of the table. And of course, I would hate for us to lose our unbeaten run.
Anyways. I was walking past the D&T workshop, and I overheard this hockey girl saying something to Mr Ng about football. Unless my memory fails me horribly, this is the exact quote: "I'd rather Arsenal win [[against ManUtd]] because they have Fabregas and van Persie."
At first I thought, "Poor girl. I wish I could delude myself into thinking that Robin's back too", but then I thought about the sentence more, and I realise she's not talking about their footballing ability, is she? How I'd intrepet it would be, "I want Arsenal to win because Robin and Cesc are hot."
Strangely, I'm okay with her statement. So you like a guy because you think that he's cute, and he just happens to be a footballer, and because of your crush on him, you want his team to win. Fair enough, isn't it? It's like me saying, "Oh I hope Fort Minor wins "Best Artist" at [[add award show's name here]], just because I think Mike is cute."
I know some people will be like, "WHAT? It's wrong just to support a football club just because you think a player is cute!" But notice it's just "win the game" in this case, and not "OH EM GEE, ARSENAL IS MY FAVOURITE CLUB BECAUSE CESC IS SO AUSEMLY K8!!!!!" Yeah, that one I have a problem with. You don't love the club, you love the player. You have to make distinctions. For me, I like Metze, but I don't support Real just because he went there. I like Christoph Metzelder the footballer, not Real Madrid the football club.
However, that could be attributed to a lack of intelligence, and in that case, we do have to forgive these fangirls, don't we?
Also, don't we, the "real" football fans, wish for some teams to win our rival teams? We become honorary members for a day and go, "WHEE I HOPE NEWCASTLE TRASHES SP*RS!"? :)
And Cesc and Robin aren't that good looking anyways.
Yeah, aren't they just heartbreakers? *rolls eyes* And nice shirt Cesc. ;)
[[I think this is the pitfall of liking models. You get so used to perfection that you think anyone even slightly off perfect is not good looking.]]
A small picspam because pictures always make me less nervous.
Just a little bit random peoples.
A very smart thing to go out and tackle Alan Smith on your very first game for your new club.
Baby!Gunners = awesome. I wonder if the first team has pictures like these too.
If this is not posed, then I suppose it could count. Both Gilberto and Robin have very forced smiles though.
Jingo, I'll make you a trade. Hobbes for Gunnersaurus!
I've just realised that I made a whole post with nothing about Arsenal a few posts back. I'm shocked. But that's because I was rushing for time and I really really wanted to post a picspam.
Anyways, 2 things that I want.

This is just so overly awesome. Two of my favourite things squished into one! Orange and Chanel!

I wanted the male version of this polo shirt because it looks really nice until I realised that they have a female version. I will love you forever and ever if you can help me locate a store that has this shirt or help me get it. *cough*M*cough*
