Love Don’t Live Here Anymore

After a summer of speculation, of ‘will he/won’t he’ questions, it’s finally come to this. I found out about it early on Thursday and have been depressed since. Damn you, FCB (take your pick: F***ing C***y Bastards, Faggot Cocky Buggers, Faeces Chav Bollockers). I know the day would come but discovering it came too soon does not bode well at all. And this is one blog post that I want to defer for as long as possible.

As much I respect Wenger, I can’t help but feel he’s partly to blame. He should have played one of the world’s best midfielders with the best. The root for Cesc’s transfer is for not having invested in the squad years ago. As it was, Cesc continually had to carry the team. I’m not saying we should spend for the sake of spending but we should invest in proper and proven quality. Mix the proven experienced with the young players. Invest smartly instead of relying on bargain buys, unproven quality, has-beens or those players well past their used-by dates (Disastre and Squill are two prime examples). If we fans are frustrated, imagine how Cesc was. To be able to be the best, one must be among the best; unfortunately not all who don the Arsenal colours are good enough. Also, it would have been nice if the transfer had been dealt and concluded with at the beginning of summer instead of dragging through until we were on the verge of our first match.

We look like we’re already struggling without Cesc if last Saturday’s match was any indication. We didn’t click well, we struggled to create chances and we committed unnecessary and unprofessional fouls. It was bad enough we had a blinking blind referee and linesmen, we also had that Jokey Bastard to contend with. Unless we invest quickly in someone ready to step in, it will be a long hard season for us.

I can’t and will never hate Cesc. He’s been professional throughout his Arsenal career, he played with his heart out and genuinely wanted to win. Say what you want about him but we will miss him greatly now that he’s gone. Cesc is like a rare gem that you come upon few and far between.

Good bye and good luck my love. I hope you will be happy back home. As much as I love you, I hope you will regret moving back. Because you could have achieved a lot more with Arsenal. I mean, what’s the challenge in going back home to play for FCB? You’re already a superstar at Arsenal; at FCB you’ll be only one among the few known ones and you can consider yourself lucky enough if you don’t spend time on the bench.

Life goes on and now it’s life after Cesc. We will find a great club still there, a great stadium still there and a somewhat-great-but-at-times-frustrating manager still there (and for those who want Wenger out, be careful what you wish for. Says who? Says Gary Neville. If he can appreciate Wenger, why can’t we?).

Why do people I care about all go and leave me behind? *Sobs*

You abandoned me
Love don’t live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don’t live here anymore




We’ve lost Cesc Fàbregas ;’(
The two ‘angry birds’ (see the small pic of the two birds at bottom right. Thanks, Kickette!). Greedy Nasri, I hope you go already. At least Adebuywhore was honest about his greed. You twist your words, ‘don’t believe the media’ etc. Well, good riddance when you go!
