Arsenal FC

For those of you that don't know, I'm obsessed with Arsenal. Today, they kick off the season in Holland with a qualifier for the Champions League. The Champions League, including its preliminary stages, lasts from July until May, and it involves the best teams in Europe. Today's opponent is FC Twente from the Dutch first division, the Eredivisie. Twente is coached by former England manager, Steve McClaren - he's most recently known for steering the England ship that didn't qualify for this summer's European championships.

On Saturday, the Gunners begin their campaign in the English Premier League against West Bromwich Albion. The talk is that Arsenal is too young, inexperienced, etc. to have a legitimate shot at winning the EPL. The same was said last year, and Arsenal commanded the league for about half the campaign, if not more. They should definitely be in the running.

Good luck in all competitions this year, boys.

Anyhow, enjoy these videos below when you find the time. Marvel at the slick passing and overall eye-pleasing experience that is Arsenal FC.

Gay cannot even begin to describe this post. Did you say "Good luck, boys?"
