Not that I take a lot of offence for the 'Slumdog Gooner' comment, but it's better people don't use it, lest people get hurt. Trust me, you'll be surprised to see the amount of support Arsenal have in India. It's got the second largest fanbase after ManUre. <br /><br />Keep up Atishayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187123650754929750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19711060.post-59936415065447074172010-02-16T07:06:25.332+00:002010-02-16T07:06:25.332+00:00Bernard,

I think people, not just in India, but in general are way too sensitive about these things. Like you said, it's just current common parlance.

What matters is that he loves Arsenal, despite not having ever watched a game live. Gooners are Gooners, wherever they may be, so try not to categorize. Also, referring to him as a Slumdog Gooner, just because he's from India, is slightly off the mark, ain't it?Atishayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187123650754929750noreply@blogger.com
