Scent Of A Woman

Sought after, fought over, dreamt of, chased after, longed for, and lusted for by salivating males who must fight hard with each other to win her and lift her up. Fights and arguments have been known to happen and tempers have been known to boil as they pursue her. She is so desirable and yet unattainable for most. She is so sleek and sexy and only those worthy and deserving will manage to win her. She is so within sight, but can be so out of reach. One slip and it can be costly.

I daresay the Premier League trophy is a female, a she-trophy. Because she is all as I described above. Because she is pursued by twenty teams of players of boys and men are all lusting after her and literally drooling and panting in their chase for her, each team with its own reason for wanting to own her but one main common theme prevails: to reach the coveted position at the top of the league, to win, lift and keep her.

It’s still too early and would be presumptuous of me to name a particular team which would lift her at the end of this season. Still, Arsenal made another step towards the scent of that trophy when they beat Blackburn last night at home ground with a dozen more games to go; just a day after both ManUre and Chelshit lost and drew at home respectively.
