There is no such thing as an ordinary football fan for we all come in different disguises. Take those that sit around me at The Emirates.

We have old Pat who every home match brings her wheelchair bound hubby then spends the game telling me about her grand kids. There's the blind lady in front, she listens to commentary on her ear piece. She could do that at home. There's the banker (yes spelt right) who every game brings a different girl (all young enough to be his daughter). Steve & Sally who share a season ticket, one comes while the other baby sits. Then there is me. Sit RVP himself opposite me in a pub and I wouldn't recognise him. I couldn't tell you who the all time goal scorer is or what Theo has for breakfast. But religiously I will go support my team. Home, away, rain or shine.

You see we are all different and over the coming season I want to introduce you all to the many different characters I meet following the true love of my life. The Arsenal. You never know you might even read about yourself.
