The Gunners in Gode
It is a truth universally acknowledged that wherever you go in Ethiopia - even if it's a remote town in the country's remote and slightly hairy Somali region - you will always find a group of boys obsessed with English Premiership football.
"Manchester United," I shouted instead of "Cheese". "No," they shouted back, "Arsenal!" (For anyone puzzled by the soccer-speak in the headline, Arsenal = The Gunners.)

I too am a gunners fan:-) Even in North America, many of us still keep up with our beloved team.

I'm a united fan. Have been and always will be. A die hard Saint George fan when it comes to Ethiopian football. You should visit one of the football matchs and give a a brief of your idea on that topic.
