ARSENALISM©

I had to break my self imposed radio silence when I opened an email from the @Arsenal_Winston today. I present the words without comment as I am quite frankly speechless. Wenger says he does not find it painful to watch Van Persie delivering, decisively, game after game in a different shade of red. "But what is painful is to see United so far in front of us," he says. "We knew when we sold him to United that would be the case." That is a stark admission from Arsenal's perspective. From a United point of view, when he picked up that phone, Ferguson sure knew what he was doing http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jan/11/phone-call-manchester-united-van-persie Amy Lawrence-The Guardian 11/01/13

So I went to the Doctor and I said "Doctor, Doctor I'm feeling depressed, frustrated, lethargic and disillusioned" and he said to me: "You, Mr Arsenalism, are suffering from ennui...more specifically Arsenal ennui"  Of course that exchange didn't actually happen but I have made my own diagnosis of my current malaise. I've had enough of all the peripherals, all the 'stuff' that accompanies my support and love of The Arsenal. I'm going to keep it simple. No more checking on NewsNow Arsenal, I'm not going to read Blogs: good, bad or indifferent, I'm abstaining from reading about Arsenal in the press, all Sports Radio presets are now erased and Sky Sports will remain unwatched outside of the first and last whistle of those Arsenal games I can't get to and I'm off Twitter.I'm going to remove myself from the civil wars of words amongst supporters of the Arsenal and I'm going to be free of social media influences (...
