It's very rare for me to be absolutely in shock, but right now my jaw is hitting the ground, and I am standing up.

I've just come off the phone to a good friend of mine. I went to school with him, and there is a circle of five or six who all keep in touch and probably all meet up four or five times a year. Obviously, it gets harder to meet up as we all get older, but I think we've done a good job of keeping in touch.
Within this group, there are three who support Spurs like me, one Everton supporter and one and a half Liverpool supporters (one genuine, and one half-hearted).

So, anyway, here's how the conversation went.

"Did I tell you I've changed allegiance?"
"What do you mean?" I said.
"Changed my team"
"Sorry. What, you're not Spurs anymore?"
"No"
"Fuck off"
"Seriously"
"To who?"
"You're not going to like it."
If he is being serious, I'm hoping he is about to say Barnet or another local lower league team. As long as he doesn't say......
"Arsenal"
WTF
WTF
WTF
WTF
WTF

And it wasn't a wind-up.
38 years old and you change from Tottenham to Arsenal.

Now I'll admit to making the opposite move. At the age of seven I was a little goonie, but Glenn Hoddle made me see the light, and my life improved considerably ever since.
But at 38....

Wow.
