So, where is it, you damn tease?
I'll be waiting...Trust me, it's coming. I'm in class now but in a few hours I'll post it.
That feeling when you realize you just signed for Arsenal.
In honor of @serghei, @Trickykid, and their fellow Alexis-defense squad members, I shall write a grand eulogy in memory and tribute of Jugadorazo:
O Alexis! my Alexis! your time at Barca is done.
Some here praised you as a God, yet for others you were shunned.
The end is here, that much is clear, some Cules are truly fuming.
Thine heart lies with The Gunners now, where your talents will be blooming;
But O heart! heart! heart!
Seen as lovable or misbegotten.
Yet in spite of thy many slips and misses,
You are gone, but never forgotten.
O Alexis! my Alexis! Go forth and do succeed.
Rise up-for you the flag is flung- for you can now be freed.
For you, the damsels cry in want- for you, the Brits a-crowding
For you they call, the hero of Chile- their eager faces turning
Here Alexis! dear Alexis!
Many tears will be shed.
We mourn your loss as you no longer,
Don the blue and red.

Alexis came to be one of our own over the years. He gave us moments of great joy with the Jugagolazos against Real Madrid and Atletico, coupled with moments of great frustration such as the spell in 12/13 where he resembled a lost puppy that couldn't score to save his life. Ups and downs considered, he never failed to give it his all. I think I speak for a great many of us here in that the quality I'll miss most about Alexis is his character. It was a pleasure to have a player so selfless, progressive, and energetic. It is a shame that your time here was somewhat tainted by mob mentality and scapegoating, but I’d like to think that it was an overall positive endeavor. We thank you for the 3 years you gave to our club and wish you success in sexing it up wherever you may go. Gracias Jugadorazo.
In memory, here are Alexis’s best goals at Barca:
And here is the funniest Alexis video ever made:
