FOOTBALL FANS!

The fans are the ones who make the game of soccer interesting, nowadays, it has become a fanatical thing for followers of football around the world and to some, a religion, this has made fans to expect all sort of things from their club and players.


Take Robin Van Persie as a case study, when the transfer market opened and rumour had it that Manchester United had shown interest in the young lad, Arsenal fans here in Nigeria were agog with emotional Shinanigans, i heard one fan say "RVP cannot join Manchester United because of the long time rivalry between both clubs", i only laughed, for Christ sake, is there any blood relationship between Van Persie and Arsenal? another fan said "Arsene Wenger is not a fool to sell his best striker"... Forgetting that the same Arsene Wenger sold the likes of 'Thierry Henry' 'Patrick Viera' 'Cesc Fabregas' 'Nasri' et al, all for the right price.
Arsenal fans should know by now that Arsene Wenger is not there to win trophies but to make more money for the club.
 Manchester United fans who before now have been a strong critic of RVP all of a sudden have changed stands, one Man u fan described RVP as "the best striker in the world", i don't know what happened to Zlatan Ibrahimovich or Didier Drogba.

When the season finally kicked off, Fans were expecting the young lad to just start netting goals with immediate effect, but after the club's unfortunate loss to Everton, many have begun to doubt the buy, while Sir Alex Ferguson is of the opinion that he was not fed enough balls during the match.

Anyway, the season is just beginning and i expect to see a lot of thrills and excitement, just be rest assured that i'll keep you updated all through the way!
