1/ Just like millions around the world, I started to support #Arsenal in the early 2000s. Not because I was from north London, nor because my dad passed on it his passion to me. I supported Arsenal because there was on my TV, week after week. a club...

2/ ...whose values exemplified everything I believed football was about: Attacking, spectacular, fearless regardless of who they played, inclusive (who can forget #arsenal fielding, but for the keeper, an all black team), fair (repeat cup game unjustly wo), and above all...

3/... managed by the coolest, jazziest, most confident, & most erudite of all football Jedi Masters, one Arsene Wenger. #Arsenal, my club, *never* let me down so long as he was there. Sure, there were titles, cups, invincibles, but that's only the half of it. I could always...

4/... count on my club toast with class, to be brave, to follow the values that Arsene had been allowed to nourish in N. London. I beamed with pride at #Arsenal doubles & the unbeaten season. I suffered as a fan during the drought. I nirvanaed at the final 3 (out of 7) cups, but

5/...regardless of the results, I always had that beautiful anticipation that only true love brings every time the team lined up in the tunnel. The way #arsenal lost its way which has found its apotheosis in this crass treatment of #ozil, one of our best player and WC winner...

6/...is beyond shameful. It is a mistake. These dots have killed the dream, the brand, the golden goose. Today, the kids watching around the world have no reason to support this mediocre, afraid of its shadow, mess that we have become. I am stuck--I will always love #arsenal..

7/...that love is the gift Arsène (and magic Dennis, extraterrestrial Thierry, swashbuckling Robert, magic Santi, Scorpio Olivier, & maestro Mesut) gave to me. But for the kid in Haiti, Indonesia, or Zimbabwe, that love will be reserved for others. The idiots who run #arsenal...

final/...have killed the dream. Shame on you for spoiling this beautiful institution that was handed to you on a silver platter. I hope you reap what you sow, and I wish that soon, we can have our beautiful, classy, fearless, fair, and spectacular club back. ( #Arsenal for ever)
