Hi!
I am quite new here to this specific sub-forum.
My Arsenal journey is a strange one.. growing up in Argentina we dont get exposed to english football very much (the local league is followed strongly) but also Spain & Italy are followed due to language & the Diego Maradona factor (Napoli & Inter have huge following in Argentina)..
Anyway, growing up I played for the academy of the Argentine club Arsenal de Sarandi! The club was founded in 1950, and it was found because the brothers who establsihed the club were fond of the Arsenal in London, and both had military arsenals nearby their grounds..
As years has gone, I followed less of Arsenal as life took over and I moved to NZ & subsequently Australia... But this news makes me of them winning the title makes me happy! Today Arsenal in London is in top of the world, and Arsenal de Sarandi are in third division of Argentina (the club went bankrupt like many clubs in Argentina do as they are owned 100% by members of the clubs and no club has private ownership), worlds apart in stature, finances & fans, but same spirit & love..
Go both gunners :)
