Happy Fabregas Day!



Molly, this blog goes out to you, in honor of your dedication to the Arsenal Football club.

My roommate Molly and I have decided that Arsenal is our football team of choice.  We have decided to become THE best Arsenal Fans there are.

And how do we plan on doing this?  Well, we developed a rather effective rather foolproof game plan, it goes something like this . . . 

1. WIkipedia Arsenal
2. Click on every link possible in the Arsenal Article on Wikipedia
3. Watch Arsenal games (the next one is Jan 28 against Everton)
4. incessantly recite all facts learned to those who doubt your fanhood
5. Display physical evidence of your fanhood on your walls(like the poster above we now have hanging on our wall) and (eventually) on your necks (we hope to get arsenal scarves soon)
6. Learn a new player's name, number, position and hometown each day and place their sticky note on the wall as if they were players on a field, creating a field of sticky note people on your wall.
7. Rename your room "The Emirates" after Arsenal's glorious stadium (now located in haywell which is located in the borough of Islington, the same borough as clerkenwell where Molly and I live).
8.  Know who Fabregas is and proceed to "chase" him.
9. Plan to attend and do attend at least one arsenal match.

All in all a beautiful plan, copyrights do apply :)

  1. GO GUNNERS GO!!!

    My vote is that we should also make up cheers. I cannot wait to have a warm, cuddly Arsenal scarf to wear with my red Arsenal jacket and white Arsenal hat.

  2. pshh! Glory glory Man United! Glory glory Man United! Glory glory Man United and the Reds go marching on!

    1) if you don't get this, you are not a good Arsenal fan yet.
    2) I could sing you the Barcelona anthem, but it's in a language that neither of us understand so I doubt it would be at all effective
    3) Bad year to be an Arsenal fan. sorry about that. asĂ­ es el fĂștbol (if you use this expression around spaniards or hispanics they'll think you know what your talking about so keep it in your back pocket.
    4) lee...wow, i miss you, brother.
