Nogbad the Bad Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 1 hour ago, BigTone said: Indeed it is. Why would anyone watch Arsenal. He was brought up watching the PL in Canada and chose Arsenal as his team, one reason he decided to come over and live here. The main reason was because when the family came back here every couple of years for a holiday as he was growing up he found being in England much more enjoyable and interesting than living in Canada, which he found a bit dull. I did get him down the Gate a few times when the family were in Bristol, but typically City put on a crap performance each time so no chance of converting him. Always seems to be the way when I take anybody to watch City!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
