Then it clearly can't be a family thing.

I'd been bought up to love the Arsenal before I ever saw them live, or even on TV. {Back then MotD only had one match, it was always LFC and went out well beyond a 7 year old's bedtime.)

I had wrongly assumed it was like that for everyone.

We normally had French camping hols but when I was 13, we went to a hotel on Crete and it was ace and really lushly hot. But my main joy? Dad getting a Sunday paper and seeing we'd won 4-0 in the first game. The best result of any team that day. Meaning that for the first time in my life, we were top of the league on GD, even though they didn't publish the table.

sad though it may be, I love the institution of the Arsenal. Which is why I want the Spetic dead. Cos he doesn't.
