We want our Arsenal back « Untold Arsenal: Arsenal News, supporting the club, the players and the manager
By Walter Broeckx
We all have heard and seen the slogan before. We want our Arsenal back. Even the Chelsea fans started using it the other day after their rich owner sacked the umpteenth manager. And because the new manager isn’t that popular for Chelsea fans they started shouting: “We want our Chelsea back”. In their case their old Chelsea was the Chelsea before the Russian came along. A club with no history and hardly trophies and going bankrupt.
But what does it mean when we talk about Arsenal? For those who shout “We want our Arsenal back” it usually is the Arsenal from before Wenger. Because that was THE Arsenal. If you hear that slogan you would say that it was time we won something each season. Was it really?
I could write another 800 words if you want but as the wise words say: One picture can say more than 1000 words I show you the Arsenal you want back. And I show you my Arsenal.
I embrace the complete Arsenal history with the good and bad days. But when I look at this picture I do think that “my Arsenal” isn’t that bad you know.
