This is one topic that is very apt for this season. If there is anywhere to learn true love from, it is from Arsenal fans. Like some of you are already preparing to break up with bae due to some things that may have happened yesterday, maybe you can see reasons why you should hold on. For those whose teams are doing badly and are thinking of jumping ship, read this.
Your coach is sacred
Learn to look beyond the results on the pitch. Look at what the coach has been able to achieve somewhere else, like give him kudos for building a stadium like he is Julius Berger. You can also look at how he brings money to your club by pricing players like how Ibadan women price goods, selling some of the best players and keeping the money. Learn how to love your manager regardless of what he wins or does not win. Like it is said that you should honour your father and your mother, honour the coach of your club too.
Hate the players that leave
So some players will get tired of not winning trophies and not getting paid as much as their counterparts at other clubs. They may decide to leave for pastures green elsewhere. If you want to love your club like Arsenal fans, you must hate those players. You should also boo them when they play against your team, never wish them well and curse them. You must always berate them, even if you said they were better than Messi and Ronaldo put together before, they should now be worse than Ali Dia.
Find things to celebrate
Even when you don’t win trophies, find something to celebrate, there is always something to celebrate when you look closely. You can celebrate the best scorpion-kick goal, the most corner kicks, the youngest goalscorers and the likes. That your team won a leg of a two-legged affair against the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona despite crashing out is enough reason to celebrate. There is always something to celebrate.That your club has the most handsome players, that your club is one of the richest in the world, just find reasons to celebrate.
Always hope for a bright future
There is always a tomorrow, regardless of what may be going wrong or how bad it is. There is always a next season. the moment it becomes clear that Arsenal will not win anything (it happens mostly in February, by the way) Arsenal fans start looking forward to their never-ending next season. To love your team like Arsenal fans, know how to look forward to next season – the future.
Know your history
Like the popular adage goes ‘if we don’t know where we are coming from, we won’t know where we are going’. Try to know the history of your club, so when things are not going fine you have something to refer to. Even if you were not born when they happened, refer to them as your sources of joy. Be quick to remind anybody of your unbeaten season, of how many leagues and cups you have won in the past, of how your coach did a double in first full season etc.
With these few points of ours, we hope we have been able to convince you and not confuse you that you can and should love your club the Arsenal fans way, even if your club is stuck in sixth or got smashed on Valentines’ night.
