All I have to do is write a few paragraphs about Arsenal every day and somedays I feel emotionally drained. I feel like its the coolest, easiest and most rewarding AAAAAAND it’s also tough, challenging and brings up self doubt.
So, if I’m “tired” can you imagine what the players are feeling? Forget about the matches themselves… as if those weren’t insanely demanding enough… you have training, traveling, personal lives, relationships, illness, injuries, pressure, a persona to post up in public, managing your money, lack of support, menstruation, MEN, misogyny, and so on and so forth.
Not only are these girls historic just for being footballers but they are also dealing with a lot of stuff regarding social media, speculation, being in the public eye more than ever and so many things adjacent to the game itself that it’s nothing short of a miracle that they won the Conti Cup and were basically minutes away from a CL final.
The team is battered and bruised and also determined and energized. That’s what I saw today vs Villa. No giving up, always fighting, trying their best. This is what you want your team to do every single match, early in the season or anytime, and they’ve done this.
I’m so proud of them and so happy to be an Arsenal supporter. It just feels good.
I will be writing a bit about what I’m expecting during the summer, payers I’d like to bring to the club and I’m gonna do my very best to not be rude and say who I’d sell because I don’t wanna sound like a total a**hole.
Podcast coming up maybe even tonight
