Also, between that game and our away match at Fulham on Saturday, it'll be the first time two owners across the NFL and the English league system have their teams face each other in the same weekend, and in the same city. Shahid Khan owns both home teams, and Stan Kroenke owns both away teams.

Here's a fun fact: on Sunday week, it'll be the first time that two NFL teams whose owners also own an English football club will face each other in London when the Rams and Jaguars play at Wembley.

We've got a bit of a young crowd, so it was probably never going to work, but it was still worth a try to...the person of a certain age that started it. ✋ He really is the spit of Völler though, even though that same person might've also said out loud that Woltemade looks like he smells of piss.

DC Armoury - The Capital of Arsenal America @dcarmoury.bsky.social · 16d

There was a "shit Rudi Völler" chant that...someone...tried to start at Franklin Hall during the match that didn't really catch on. At least someone else has made the connection. Great article, by the way.

It's that special time of year when people with numbers on the front of their shirts have no idea what's going on for about 30 minutes. The Dublin game next week should be interesting for our viewing.
