Hey all
Came across this thread and decided to introduce myself so i could get to know you guys better. For a long time i wondered where all the decent guys went from A-M till i randomly googled this place. Although i have been on OMITT for quite sometime i am mainly a reader and not much of a poster. I have followed so much of a-m and this place i feel like i 'know' some of you guys!!
Anyway i am from New Delhi, India and i have been following Arsenal for about 9 years now i believe. Thats about as long as i have followed club football.
I guess it was sometime in 2002-03 i was randomly watching a united vs Arsenal match of TV when a friend dropped by at my place. He asked me who i was supporting, i replied manchester united and my best buddy just gave told me ' who supports united!? are you crazy? Arsenal's the team man, United is stupid. Why would you not support a team called 'The Gunners'!?
And that was the day i started following 'The Arsenal' or even club football for that matter. All these years so much has changed. I started working, got married, had a kid, got separated but Arsenal has always been a constant. Wenger and transfers have given me more sleepless nights than anything life has thrown at me! 😃
Its changed so much in India as well. From people hardly following football to big supporters groups forming. I think some of you may not understand what overseas fans are all about but in trust me people are equally passionate and well informed/knowledgeable in this part of the world.
To cut the long story short, i just happy to be here and hope to get to know you people better. Up the arse!
