I'm a born and bred, Arsenal-in-the-blood supporter. Arsenal isn't something I simply follow. Arsenal is for life.
Like millions of Gooners around the world, supporting Arsenal is about far more than ninety minutes of football.
It's the anticipation before kick-off. It's the frustration. The celebrations. The arguments. The memories. The players you grow up idolising. The matches you remember decades later. And the feeling that no matter where you are in the world, Arsenal is still home.
I've supported this club through the great days, the painful days, the ridiculous days and the days where Arsenal somehow manage to take ten years off your life in ninety minutes.
But that's football. And that's Arsenal.
Players come and go. Managers come and go. Stadiums change. Football changes.
But the club stays with you.
That is where the idea for Arsenal Fever came from.
I wanted to build somewhere that actually felt like it belonged to Arsenal supporters. Not another generic social network with Arsenal content dropped into it.
Something created specifically for us.
A place to talk football, share videos, meet other supporters, join groups, discuss matches, celebrate wins, suffer through defeats together and simply enjoy being part of the Arsenal community.
