That Wilshere Goal
Yesterday, while high, I wrote as I realized this:
The reason why intense passing is my favorite playing style is because I felt (and feel) alone—Other—amongst the men I played with and I craved connection on the field. That's why Arsenal is part of my gender expression - their game has always been all about connection, more so since I fell in love with them when I saw THAT goal against Norwich. My favorite goal in history, all about connection. That goal showed me what I was seeking in the field because I was Other to men, a woman already back then, and that informed my early support for Arsenal.
Feeling Other to men is a feeling I can trace throughout my life. When Arsenal plays well, I see myself flourishing.
Anyway, here's the goal:
