An intro to the blog !!

So here i go!! Finally realizing my dream of writing a blog about my beloved football team - Arsenal F C.
What many people don't realize is how huge football especially The English Premier League is in these parts of the
world, and my aim is to give an outlook of a fan (Huge one at that!!) who may not be able to support his team by
going for all their matches , but sure as hell does everything possible to watch all their matches live on telly .

So what is it about Arsenal that i , unlike most Indian fans , chose to support the gunners instead of Manchester
United which by the way is easily the most well supported team in India (I guess as its my blog i can very
confidently say that Arsenal is the second most followed football team in India and is catching up real fast !!) ??

Well the first thing that really got me attracted towards Arsenal was the Free Flowing football the team played.
Players like Thierry Henry, Patrick Viera , Pires and Bergkamp conspired to play the game in its most elegant form
!! That truly was a great team !! Watching them play would make you forget about all other stuff in the world !!

Arsene Wenger has to be one of the biggest reasons that i support Arsenal .He is such an awesome tactician and a
very shrewd man manager too !!

The other thing that was amazing about the club was its stadium - Highbury. Man there was something magical about
the place !! I know that we had to leave Highbury for obvious reasons and we have moved into what is arguably the
Best stadium in England , but i still can't forget the last match at Highbury , the result and the celebrations
thereafter were fitting for that amazing stadium.

Well above all these reasons the most important reason and ironically the most "Long Lasting" reason has to be the
amazing history of Arsenal F C . History and culture are things that are not made overnight and i can't seem to
remember any club which has the same rich history that Arsenal has !! And long may it last !!

Well coming back to the blog , i want to make it pretty clear that this blog is about all things Arsenal. Its for
football fans in general and all Arsenal fans in particular. Its my way of saying a big “Thank You” to the club
which means so much to me.

Hope you guys have a nice time reading my posts!!
