This Blog Needs a Goal

I got thinking about the wonderful and fruitful relationship that Olivier Giroud and Luis Suarez could form up front for Arsenal, if the supposed transfer talk is true, that is.

Is there a disillusion of loyalty in football? Or has the era of the one club men faded and now it’s the dawning of self preservation from footballers?

As Stevan Jovetic’s arrived at Manchester City alongside Alvaro Negredo, I think my heart may have sunk the same time Edin Dzeko’s did. What now for the big Bosnian? 

Now, I think everyone has noticed that they did something before a football match and you scored a goal or played a blinder and in your head there is nothing else logical to suggest why it happened, except something you did pre-game and so you keep it up. Does this change when you’re a professional, though?

Now this won’t be a massive analytical piece of work, just my opinion of what players would work in a team of five players who would meet up at a rec centre and wear a pub’s kit supplied by the landlord.

With a host of supposed deals that looked “certain” to happen, it seems all of them could have already potentially fallen through. Does that mean another season of scraping through for the red faction of north London?

I thought I would recall one of my favourite moments in football, the final of the 2002 World Cup in Yokohama, where R9 exorcised all demons on football’s biggest stage in front of millions of people.
