Arsenal vs. Manchester United:
This has been on my “bucket list” for a very long time. If I’m to say a date, since that Tuesday 13 April 1999, Villa Park, when Ryan Giggs took on the entire Arsenal defence, before scoring from a tight angle. I watched that game alone, at home; it was late into the night when the Welshman scored. Nkgotla, my brother, had long gone to sleep. In jubilation, I dialled my friend Meki’s house. “Meki is sleeping!” His mother declared.
I was only able to release the excitement the following day, when I met Meki in class.
Today, 7 May 2017, I’m wearing the Arsenal Polo Shirt, that I used to hate so much. I’m among the Gunners, and loudly shouting: “Come on Arsenal!”
Life.
