Sometimes Arsenal Don't Seem That Important

Yesterday a very good friend died at the age of 47 and it doesn't seem that important to talk about football or crisis or anything so trivial really. I've read a lot of moaning from Arsenal fans which seem to be along the lines of "we've spent a lot of money on tickets and we EXPECT to win things". Of course expectation has been raised by all that has gone before but supporting a team is about demanding or expecting success but supporting the team whatever comes.
Last night on 606 Chelsea fans were moaning about their team despite being joint top of the league, having more money than most in these financial difficulties and knowing they will still qualify (despite last night) for the next phase of the Champions League. What lives do people like this lead? In the real world there are much tougher lives, much more difficult decisions to face and the harsh realities of job loss, terrorist atrocities and so on....
Sorry for the downer of a blog but people - GET REAL.
Oh and one football point - look at the CL group stage tables, with a round to go I think there are only 2 or 3 places left - pointless exercise aren't they really.

You're absolutely right. It's easy to get lost in the unreal world of football but some things in life do really matter. Sorry for your loss.
