I knew Petr Cech would choose Chelsea over Arsenal

I have to be honest and openly admit that I was never a great fan of Petr Cech, I never wanted him to join us and even though he did do a good job between the sticks, I never felt that he was a true Gunner and I suspect that my feelings will be justified if reports in the media today turns out to be true.

Basically, the tabloids are claiming that both Arsenal and Chelsea want the 36-year-old to take on a goalkeeping role and that he is likely to plump for a return to Stamford Bridge.

I can understand why he would choose Chelsea, he was with them for 11 years and won multiple trophies and for me, I would be happy to see him go, however, some Gooners I have spoken with do not feel the same way.

They feel that is a betrayal, not because he finished his career with us but because we took him on when Chelsea threw him on the scrapheap.

They feel that he owes us his experience and knowledge because we were there for him when no other top club was and they do have a point, even if I disagree with it.

Football is a tribal thing, it is about loyalty and that is why I was not a fan of the Cech from day one, I could see this day coming but that is just me and I do sympathise with my fellow Arsenal supporters that do feel a little pissed off right now, even if it turns out they are in a minority.
