Arsenal Football Club - The Gunners
June 4, 2008
This football club was founded as old as 120 years back in London but currently located in Emirates Stadium at Holloway. Their colors include white and red and their emblem fetched them a nickname of Gunners. They are showing great fight back in the recent times. The club touts fans from across the world and the numbers are only to rise in the coming years.
English premier league Arsenal trounced Reading by a score of 2 to 0 recently. Thanks to their ebullient team manager, Arsène Wenger who helmed Arsenal to its victory. The team was a joy to watch, enthuses Wenger’s counterpart, Steve Coppell. The Reading manager responded, “I’m hardly insulated from the situation. Managers get rewarded for results.” Coppell went on to point out, a match from which his team was not expected to earn any tangible money was never going to break Reading’s season.
The Arsenal manager later claimed that he had been worried about how his young side would react after viewing their Champions’ League and Premier League ambitions dissipate in five days. “We reciprocated well after humongous losses,” he beamed. “It is very crucial for us, because the next season begins now.”
The extent of Reading’s loss was obvious, nevertheless, in the manner of Cesc Fabregas during a post-match interview. He responded stoutly to the suggestion that Arsenal’s performances this season boded well for the next one. “I think it is premature to say we will win next year, because we are young,” Fabregas alleged. While Fabregas has just signed a seven-year contract with Arsenal, he will surely be apprehensive to see how the squad plays next season. Although Alexander Hleb and Mathieu Flamini have yet to confirm their continuing participation in Wenger’s plans, they have been given until the end of the month to decide on his new offer.
Minutes before the break, Arsenal doubled their lead as Fabregas pulled the ball back for Gilbertoto score with a 20-yard drive that deflected in off Andre Bikey’s head. A goal-line clearance from Ivar Ingimarsson denied Fabregas the goal he had sought all along with seven minutes left, but Arsenal had already scored enough to send the majority of the over 60,000 spectators home in cheerful hearts.
With over 13 championships in its kitty, for its miilions of fans Arsenal is more a cult and living than just a sport club!!
