Gooner Book Club: Words of Wisdom

Nick Hornby on Arsenal fans v Chelsea fans:

It is true to say that while I made a natural Arsenal supporter -- I too was often dour, defensive, argumentative, repressed -- my father belonged at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea were flamboyant, unpredictable and, it has to be said, not the most reliable of teams; my father had a taste for pink shirts and theatrical ties, and, stern moralist that I was, I think I felt that he could have done with a little more consistency.
