I've got quite a few pictures from my spring break trip to London last week. It was the trip of a lifetime, something for everyone. We went to 6 games at 5 different London stadiums: Fulham-Arsenal (Craven Cottage), Tottenham-Blackburn (White Hart Lnae), ARSENAL-REAL MADRID (Highbury), Arsenal Reserves-Crystal Palace Reserves (Selhurst Park), Chelsea-Tottenham (Stamford Bridge, Gallas is a hero), Arsenal-Liverpool (Highbury). All that for under 210 pounds, which I think is pretty decent.

I've got to thank Rick for letting me see all those games (even though he got just Arsenal tickets), because if it wasnt for him, I wouldn't have even left Virginia, and had the chance to see any of those. I know it kinda seemed like we were just showing up and collecting tickets, but we're not much drinkers and also we were broke as hell, we were going to the grocery store for the last 5 days of the trip and making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for most of our meals, but before, we really did intend to buy you drinks until you heart was content haha. Also, it was kind of a short goodbye but we really do appreciate all you did for us. Whenever ur in Virginia or even DC, I'll show you the places to go and next time I go to London Ill be playing for Arsenal so Ill be able to hook you up with tickets.

P.S. I don't think I met The Gooner, so I don't really know who that Arsenalmc58 is in his photos, maybe theres two of us.

Two things
1 You were taking pictures of Tower Bridge FROM London Bridge
2 - how did you take 200 pics with not 1 Rick B in the bunch? He's had his pic taken more times than he's had hot meals:D

Great pics altogether though

... You were taking pictures of Tower Bridge FROM London Bridge ...

and the 'selwark' cathedral looks conspicuously like southwark cathedral. but, hey, we're nitpicking.

congrats, however, on getting to see spurs twice in one week. looks like you watched the blackburn match from the visitors' section. shame that, as you'd've been mixing among an altogether better class otherwise. still, a brace from keano, and mido's winner - good times!

Haha, I was really trying to think of the cathedral name for a while before I just made that name up, I knew it was close.

As for sitting with the away fans, I wouldn't have had it any other way!!
