The Arsenal Fan - a diverse species....

Good evening, welcome to BBC 8, the home of inane drivel.  Later, at 9:30pm we have a treat for you as Piers Morgan goes to Papua New Guinea and serves himself up as dinner to the cannibalistic locals, but now we present to you a nature documentary of a different kind.......

Only a certain type of man could return from whence he came, face criticism head on and snarl equally hostile, letting his passion and skill quash the critique and morph it into adulation.
