Arsenal F.C

Arsenal F.C


Of the football teams I like, Arsenal occupies the number 1 spot. My interest in football got generated due to a variety of reasons, one of it being that all my friends were followers of the game.

It is legends who make you attract or turn away from a team and Arsenal has a lot of such legends that anyone would want to be a fan of such skill and sporting ability. Lets just talk a bit about Arsenal today, the team to which I have just obtained a Digital membership. Oh and the digital membership by the way gives you access to a lot of Arsenal apps, newsletters and so on. One day I hope to obtain a full red membership which obviously comes at a price.

So coming back to the topic in hand, Arsenal F.C. (Thanks to beloved Wikipedia for providing all the required snippets of info) Arsenal Football club is based in Highbury, London. It has won 13 league titles and 12 FA cups along with numerous other achievements. Current league position of 6 and has an impressive line up including some the finest in the world. And btw the team is also nicknamed as Gunners.

 Arsene Wenger

 No article on Arsenal would ever be complete without a mention of this legend. The longest serving and most successful manager of the team. Wenger joined the team in 1996 and has since then produced legends, leading the team to victory time in and again.


In 2016, Forbes estimated Arsenal to be the second most valuable club in the world, having a worth of $2 billion. As per social media estimates, Arsenal has the fifth largest fan base in the world. This estimate is based on activity, followers, etc. in the social media accounts of Arsenal F.C.Jersey home colours include red shirt and white shorts, away is yellow shirt and black shorts and third colour is black shirts and yellow shorts. The club was formed on December 1, 1886. Arsenal stadium is the Emirates stadium which was finalised in 2000 after due consideration. The stadium is about 500m south west from Highbury, London.

Random thoughts !!

Maybe because of the fact that all my days are truly boring and non eventful, maybe not, i dont know( i am good at coming up with excuses) that i refrain from posting in daily. Life as usual is truly hectic and not easy to describe the complex functionalities of the daily life, which can't be given a vivid description, but i assure you, survival is most difficult and what all things we do to just move is absolutely amzing and stunning, right from pleasing our teachers and doing assignments to the ever perilous task of explaining why your late for class, and coming up with new innovative excuses every morning does constitute a major chunk of our college life. And unlike the old days, when people used to say that college life is the best part ( still hear it a lot), i find it a struggle to merely move on, i mean the only real time we have is used up for finishing off daily chores and mugging for the next day, and you wouldn't believe it, there are teachers who actually punish yo...

The blog post!

To start with, I think I should justify the heading, the title post, well, this is again one of those blog posts I'm putting in after a very very long time in which a lot of wonderful and not so wonderful things have happened in my life. Well thats why its called "The blog post!" One of the books I have been recently reading is Sidin Vadukut's Who let the dork out?. About the book and all, its quite funny and interesting and it was more interesting for me as was written by a malayali. Some words randomly thrown here and there did make some sense to me! The sad part is that well, in between I got lazy and still have around 50 pages towards the climax. This trait of my character that I identified is that I do not like to dive deep into anything. I might find something interesting and trust me, I dont even start with anything if I dont find it very interesting.I get the plot then I leave. Its too difficult to keep my interest pinned onto something. But these days ...

Practicals...!!

As usual, this is a post after a rather long time, owning to the fact that i do not get time to sit, think and type at the same time due to lack of time. Just had my S3 survey practical yesterday and with that done, S3 is all wrapped up(hopefully) though in order to confirm it we have to anxiously await the results which will be arriving shortly. Yes, and yesterday morning, well i was tensed, come to analyse, its pretty interesting. The first time I had to do practicals was back at school, in my 9th standard i believe, where we used to have chemistry and physics practicals, I must admit I was never all that impressed by those, maybe because of the sole reason that all the things we did were pretty inefficient. Anyway I dint have a practical exam back then, so we used to consider lab hours as free hours, nd have a gala time. But slowly as we entered the 11th standard, we realised the reality, that we had to give an exam at the end of 12th. I was least bothered initially, but slowly rea...
