On Saturday Simon and his boss Tim took me to my first english football match. Arsenal versus some other lot. I think it was Blackburn. We had seats right up close to the match, not that it helped me understand what was going on at all. An early goal was the highlight of the first half, but from there the match slowed down. It wasn’t until the second half that things got exciting with Arsenal winning the match with 4 goals.
The intensity of the crowd was pretty astounding and the roar in the stadium with each goal was worth the price of admission. I didn’t have to resort to my football quotes to fit in which was handy, because I probably would have had my head smashed in if I tried any of them on. I mean really: What was Wenger thinking bringing Walcott on so early?
