#my feelings for cesc fabregas are many and varied

[unrealcities]

For the record, I am always, always thinking about the Cesc Fabregas/Mikel Arteta/Martin Odegaard Arsenal narrative thread

[unrealcities]

Listening to Cesc Fabregas's interview with Arsecast from 2020 and the one thing I am learning is that Arsene Wenger is the most emotionally intelligent man in the world

My kingdom for the fic where Cesc Fabregas gets quietly divorced and builds a home for himself* at Como while Gerard Pique gets very publicly divorced and grows into his role as sporting and media mogul that is subtextually about Cesc falling out of love with Gerard after more than half of his life (and also Cesc taking Leo's side in the Leo vs. Barca split)

*Again, again, for the nth time, and maybe one day it will stick. Maybe one day he'll stop being a chronic mover. But oh well.

Unfortunately Oscar Piastri is very rapidly becoming my new Cesc Fabregas.

But the Emirates applauds him off, of course.

ESPN FC: Cesc Fabregas, as a close friend, is another loss for you. But he's flying at Chelsea.

Pique: He loves London and he's playing well. I don't know if he loves Mourinho but he must do because he's playing every game! (x)

I would like to know what everyone involved in this decision was thinking, only I kind of suspect they weren't.

"Very little things affect me" YOU'RE A FUCKING LIAR FRANCESC

Cesc, five minutes later: "NO ONE TAKES THIS CLUB AND THIS GAME SERIOUSLY ENOUGH"
