Applauds the Gunner Faithful
The rise and rise of Hector Bellerin has been nothing short, to use a well-worn cliche, of meteoric since he broke into the Arsenal side 2 years ago.
His form has earned him plaudits, international recognition, a new long term deal and of course the unwelcome interest of certain big clubs
Well, the message from all of us in N5 to Manchester City and Barcelona should be obvious – The ‘Boy from Barca’ is not for sale. However – in case there is any doubt, I have added 2 new verses to Hector’s own song. I hope you like them, he likes them and the conversation is closed…..
I wanna tell you
I might as well do
About a boy who can do anything
He comes from Barca
His name is Hector
Bellerin Bellerin Bellerin
Do one!!
So here‘s a new one
Pep can do one
Petro-dollars cannot buy everything
Such a Pity
Not going to City
Bellerin Bellerin Bellerin
Ignore!
Ignore Enrique
Laugh at Pique
In North London he has everything
Learn it sooner
Boy’s a Gooner
Bellerin Bellerin Bellerin
Sing it loud, sing it proud – I thank you 🙂
Passionate fifty-something Arsenal supporter who has been making the journey to N5 regularly since the early 1980s – although his first game was in 1976. Always passionate when talking about The Arsenal, Dave decided to send a guest blog to Gunnersphere in the summer of 2011 and has not stopped writing about the Gunners since.
He set up his own site – 1 Nil Down 2 One Up – in February 2012, which he moved on in 2016 to concentrate on freelance writing and building Gunners Town, which he launched with Paul in 2014.
The objective of GT was to be new and fresh and to give a platform for likeminded passionate Arsenal fans wishing to write about their team. Dave still of course, writes for the site himself and advises the ever-changing writing crew.
What a load of crap, when Barca comes knocking, you can be sure that Hector will be thinking twice. It is a no brainer, London or Barcelona, which city is the most beautiful, the food the best,Barcelona has white sand beaches, London has the Thames, Barcelona has a proper summer, London is a dreadful place even in the summer. The hyperbole in this article is too funny, Arsenal the poor mans Barcelona is just a billionaires play ground, a business club who’s main purpose is to extort money from is fanbase. Why would a Catalan born like Bellerin not take the calling of the world’s best football club, with the best football players ever seen, and a history that it is 2nd to none, to stay in a money making club, to the detriment of is fanbase, with a manger who’s beginning to look like a a rich dinosaur as each year goes by…..Wishful thinking on the writers part, but if Barca was serious in bringing Bellerin back, and to be a starter, you can be sure that it wouldn’t even be matter of debate. The moment that you recognise that Arsenal is just a business club, with big fat billionaires owners sucking the fanbase dry, maybe then will a change happen. Until then, 4th place and the odd FA cup will just have to suffice……
Roger, have you taken your meds?
You’re using a fire-extinguisher to blow out a match, my friend. I’m sure the original post is just meant to be a little bit of fun. A fan chant isn’t exactly a manifesto.
Maybe write a blog and tell us how you really feel… We’d be happy to host it. Chill!
Barca won’t come looking for Hector again remember we’ve go Roberto who is on the verge of displacing Carvajal a world class right back from the spain squad. City is Hectors likely destination , besides Arsenal has a history of selling full backs to City (Sagna & Clichy)
Maybe you’re right Batmandela, I’ve taken my benzodiazepines and I’m now in state of euphoria, thanks for the recommendation…… Come on gunners.
