Some things I like about Arsenal

The Green

The green of the grass. Every time. It's greener at Arsenal than anywhere else. The only time I can remember it being as green somewhere else is the first time I saw Arsenal play live. It was some time in the mid-80s, in a pre-season game against Shamrock Rovers here in Dublin.

Under floodlights, a packed terrace in a south Dublin suburb, a battle of the O'Leary brothers if I recall correctly (of course it's possible I've just augmented my memory of it).
