A very informative history of Arsenal FC. I really liked that it was in chronological order up to the present, though a complaint that I had was the sometimes oblique references to historical events; I found myself having to google terms and events in order to get context for those moments and the author could have included a sentence or two of explanation to eliminate that confusion. Overall, very well written, witty, and informative.
