Sigh no more Ivan

I read the transcripts of Ivan Gazidis’ meeting with the fans and immediately thought of this poem:

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more;
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never;
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny;
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no mo,
Or dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey, nonny, nonny.

(William Shakespeare – Much Ado About Nothing)

I now return you to my break.

About Tim

Owner, editor, and daily pundit for 7amkickoff. Started writing at 7amkickoff.com on January 1, 2008 as a New Year’s resolution and have written about Arsenal and other topics nearly every day since. Published in So Paddy Got Up the Arsenal Anthology and bi-weekly contributor to Arseblog News with my By the Numbers column. First fell in love with the Arsenal in 2001 when Wiltord won the League at Old Trafford. Have made the annual trip from my physical home in the Pacific Northwest to my spiritual home in London every year since 2006 when I saw Arsenal beat Charlton 3-0. On that day I saw three miracles: Arsenal play at Highbury; Pires, Henry and Bergkamp all play; and Alex Hleb score a goal. Father to my wonderful little daughter, passionate Gooner, irascible online personality: in that order. If you must, you may follow me on twitter @7amkickoff.

    This video interview is actually free on Arsenal.com, Those who are experts at body language can tell us what Ivan means when he says they will, ‘make announcements when it is the right time,’ in regards to Robin Van Persie.

    This poem really emphasizes something I have been trying to do as an Arsenal fan. Try not to get attached to the players, they come and go. It’s important to just enjoy the performances of those who stay.
