I dont care about anyone who doesnt like football or doesnt like to discuss football….its my blog and I WANT TO TALK FOOTBALL right now!!!
This is very big! I cant not talk about it….
Arsenal just played their last game at Highbury stadium in their famous red and white! And what a farewell! It was a fairytale ending in every sense!
First of all, Arsenal beat Everton (4th place) 7-0!!!! Yes, this is not a typo, it actually did end 7-0!
This was the best game I have seen Arsenal ever play as a team! They were out to prove something, and they absolutely did! To the point where the commentator said “They could be called the globetrotters of football!”
It was the highest scoring game for Arsenal under the great coach, Arsene Wenger.
Also, Edu, who is leaving Arsenal after this season was given a penalty kick by his teammates as a farewell gift, and when he scored it was great, and he was very close to crying! The crowd was great, and he is a gentlemen who is always classy and saluted the crowd for their support for him throughout his time at Arsenal where he turned from an unknown to a World Cup winner and a regular for Brazil.
More importantly, Dennis Bergkamp assisted in the 3 goals and scored 1 goal. The crowds were singing his name for the last 15 mins nonstop!! At 36 years old, 10 of which he spent at Arsenal, being the best Arsenal player of all time and voted the best foreign player to ever play in England, Bergkamp said that this may be his last game if his contract situation isnt resolved. He proved that he is still a master in the art of football! I hope he stays for one more year, so did everyone else in the stadium today!!
The best hollywood scriptwriters couldnt have come up with a better fairytale ending! I am one of the lucky people who have had the honor to watch the red and white Arsenal at Highbury many times!
(To the tune of the Christmas carol Winter Wonderland)
“There’s only oooooooooone Dennis Bergkamp….
ooooooooooooooone Dennis Bergkamp…..
Walking along……singing this song….
Walking in a Bergkamp Wonderland…..!”
“We Want Dennis Bergkamp….We Want Dennis Bergkamp….”
“One more year! One more year!”
