footy virgin

am off to my very first game of football (in australia, we call it soccer) today. its a premiership game between arsenal and middlesbrough at highbury, so not far to travel.

a friend has a spare ticket and kindly offered to take me gratis. while looking forward to it, i'm not sure anything comes close to real footy - aussie rules style.

but the atmosphere alone should be fantastic. a bit of 'cross-cultural exploration...'
