Any Arsenal supporters on the board owe any gratitude to Nick Hornby?

I read Fever Pitch in the mid 90s, but at the time wasn't really too interest in footy enough to follow Arsenal... the '94 WC was really the first time I ever had an interest in the game...

I'm an Arsenal fan but I've never read Fever Pitch. Should I?

I owe my allegiance to the French national team. Always had an interest in the language and was in France for the elimination stages of the 2006 WC. Obviously after the US went out I was rooting for France. Then I started playing FIFA and wanted to play with Thierry Henry, and plus Arsenal had recently had another one of my favorite players, Vieira, and had Gallas and Sagna. Plus their coach was French, so that kind of sealed the deal for me. I'm also attracted to their style of play.
