CELEBRATING TOP FOUR.

IS IT RIGHT TO CELEBRATE TOP FOUR?

Hello Gooners,

As you all know our players, coaching staff and all gooners around the world celebrated Arsenal finishing top four meaning we shall be able to play champions league football next season which without it, it is a disaster both to the strength of the team financially and competitive wise as Liverpool has become for example.

Alot of people criticized it arguing that Arsenal a top club should be celebrating trophies not just top four which is 110% right. Among the critics included famous Arsenal fan and CNN presenter Piers Morgan,  Alan Curbishley and others.

Back in the day: Arsenal last won the Premier League in 2004 and haven't lifted a trophy since the 2005 FA Cup

Personally I did not criticize it and I really did not celebrate as such but I felt a bit of relief that we shall be in the champions league not going where the likes of Liverpool,  Aston Villa who won the champions league or European cup as it was known before have gone you can also mention Nottingham forest if you like.

Some argued that they celebrated finishing top of Spurs which is not a surprise because it has been like that for 18 years consecutively but this time it was so tense just like it was when they were beaten by West Ham to help Arsenal qualify for the champions league some time back.

Arsenal as a great club used not to be in such situation but the coming in of the oligarchs and our frugality in paying the stadium debt has dragged us to this point of celebrating of top four. Any one is free to criticize but as a fan who loves his or her club has the right to celebrate in any way if he or she is happy with what the club has achieved, football is an emotional game in the way that even if your club finishes 100 years without a trophy you will still be a fan unlike players who make transfers to other clubs to win trophies, fans can not do that so you remain a gooner forever and ever.

Any excuse for a party: Arsenal celebrate clinching fourth spot on the final day of the season

The celebrations just came involuntarily, no one was forced to celebrated so whoever celebrated had the right to do so because the club had achieved what was the ultimate goal for the season after all others where out of their reach. Yes we have become weaker and stooped that low but we needed to play in the champions league and achieved it then why not celebrate?
CONGS GOONERS!!!
