"Going later" he asks.
"Of course"
"Me too. Can't wait" and he disappears towards the City. Impressive exchange considering the only thing that gave me away was yellow & blue stripy socks.
On no other day of the year would he risk a two word question to a plain clothed stranger in unusual socks. If you're not a Gooner why would you be sporting such an item.
It's Cup Final Day that's why.
All morning Whattapp has been literally buzzing with what to wear. Only day of the year this bunch of blokes care?
I love that we are in yellow today. My first Arsenal memory and the reason I'm an Arsenal fan is seeing Alan Sunderland wheel away. It's 3-2!! I remember standing on the seats at the back of the stand at the City Ground in Nottingham with Eastlower & his brother many many years ago srreaming 'YELLLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWSSSS' for as long as our lungs would allow. Michael Thomas. Yellow ribbons.
Right, once this bacon has gone I'm off to burn a mixtape for the car. See you on the other side.
YEEEELLLLLLLOOOOOWWWWWSS
