Fabregas.....

This is my first post and i will start with something which has been rumbling on for the whole of the summer: Cesc Fabregas wanting to go back to Barcelona. Before the World Cup, Fabregas met with Wenger and told him that he wanted to go back to Barcelona. While many Arsenal fans would accept that he would eventually go back to the club which he was from originally, many Arsenal fans are angry over the way Barcelona are going about trying to force this transfer to go through. Throughout the World Cup many of the Barcelona players in the Spain World Cup squad have been publically “tapping up” Fabregas by saying that he has his heart set on joining Barcelona and even going to the extend of forcing a Barcelona shirt on him when Spain were celebrating their World Cup victory. Yes, maybe they were totally wasted, but it was unnecessary and with all the publicity that this saga has had, it did not make things any better. Now Carles Puyol (Barcelona captain) comes out and says that “He is having to stay at a club where he no longer wants to be for another year…I wonder how intelligent it is keeping a player who doesn’t want to be there.” Im sorry but i did not know that Puyol had become a world class manager overnight. They have had a £29 million bid rejected and plus Fabregas has just signed a 5 year contract last year which means we (Arsenal) do not have to sell him. I respect Barcelona and the way that they play football, they play football the way it should be played, but the blatent tapping up of Fabregas has just made me and many football fans lose some respect for them.

Welcome....

Hi, this is the first of (hopefully) many blog posts by me. First off: Introduction,
For anyone who does not know. My name is Kevin Chan, I am an avid gamer, football fanatic and a history graduate from Queen Mary, University of London. The blog posts will mainly consist of my views on the football (soccer) and gaming worlds, although i may throw in occasional rants and other random assortment of fun. Football and video games are great passions of mine and have been a big part of my life for the past 15 (?!?!) years. My favourite football team is Arsenal and have been supporting them since i can remember. I hope you will enjoy the posts which i will be posting every so often and hope that you will in turn post your own opinion on them!
