re: Arsenal 2013/2014 Season Long Thread

I've made my theory on club allegiances known before, but I'll go again.
First, unless you have some geographic connection to a team, any club allegiance, to me, is pretty trivial, at least at first.
I started really following soccer in 2009 when I quit playing basketball, and I picked Chelsea because that's who I always played with on FIFA.
Then, I got sick of Chelsea's douchery, so I followed Fulham for a bit because of Dempsey.
When Dempsey left, I pretty much spent last year observing from a distance. The only team that I found any interest in was Arsenal, for many reasons, the biggest being I really couldn't find one thing I really didn't like about the club. Every other club had its flaw, in my book.
I had a buddy who was an Arsenal fan, so I went and watched a few matches with him, and just got hooked.
In the process, my theory has kind of evolved. I'm actually developing a genuine loyalty to Arsenal, whereas I used to just kind of follow a team arbitrarily based on players I liked.
But Wenger's approach to football, Arsenal's image, the players, the system, the whole brand really connects with me now, and I've been hooked since.
