This interlull has been incredibly tedious, awful, and boring.
So, inspired by a legendary dream one of us once had about Santi in nothing but a Villareal jersey, let’s liven up the atmosphere a bit with some collaborative storytelling until the next match.
Rules are as follows:
-
Keep it light-hearted and PG13
-
The primary cast of characters should all be Arsenal players, past and present, and members of club management, also past and present. Notable journalists and sports personalities related to the club are also allowed.
-
It doesn’t necessarily have to grounded in reality and can be as fantastical and as whimsical as you wish.
-
Responses must be between 3 - 6 sentences. Please refrain from repeatedly responding to let others have a go.
You don’t necessarily have to respond to the highest upvoted response, but can choose whichever you wish. That way, it’ll be like a choose your own adventure type deal going along which even responses you like the most. Just please leave something for people to build upon.
It’s all in good fun, so please keep that in mind.
Meanwhile, in a small hamlet in Dusseldorf at the farmhouse at the edge of the forest, a bright red Ferrari 350 Spyder pulls into the driveway.
Two gentlemen in curiously similar jackets step out
“Are you sure about this Edu?”
“He is the one Mikel wants, I trust his judgement”
They ring the doorbell
“Come around the back,” a voice calls out. A man sits, brushing the fur of his pet donkey, a man they once called King. He looks up.
“Oh its you” he looks at his friend and senior Jorginho
“Mikel needs you.”
“Ive been done for 2 years now Jorgi, I dont have what it takes”
Edu clasps Kai’s shoulder. “I urge you to reconsider, Mikel believes you can.” He puts a parcel down in front of him and leaves.
As they leave, Kai puts down the bush and inspects the parcel, it looks like a dossier and a jacket. The same jacket the two visitors were wearing.
He feels something kindle inside him, something he hasn’t felt in a long time.
