"Hi to all Arsenal fans from an elderly Gooner. Yesterday was fantastic the crowd was buzzing and the noise and elation were something to behold. A funny moment was on the underground to Baker Street. When entering the station the driver announced, 'Please mind the gap between the train and platform... but, it isn't as big as the one between Arsenal and Tottenham!' whereupon the crowd in the train started to sing 'The Driver is a Gooner'. A nice end to a magical day."
