It was cos I watched it in the Fiddler & Firkin in Den Haag. I remember cos they had

advertised it, but on the night a load of Arsenal fans had turned up wanting to see their league cup game or whatever it was which would break some record or something. The landlord had promised to put that on unless anyone really wanted to see the Norwich game.

Then, 5 mins before kick off, I walk in. Should have seen the look on his face as the man he calls "the only Norwich fan in Zuid Holland" turns up.

Cue 20 Arsenal fans sprinting out toward the Irish pub
