I remember seeing the players getting off the coach in the underground car park at the Emirates last season, and the only people with the decency to at least recognise us cheering them as they walked past were Santi, Wenger and Bouldy. Kind of shows how much the players really care about the fans when in this country.
I'm not asking them to sign autographs and shake hand's or anything, but they just walked past, most with Beats around their head not giving a shite.

Must admire the running bloke's determination though :)

Atemloser Arsenal-Fan: Der Sprint in den Mannschaftsbus
18.07.2013 - Er rannte rund acht Kilometer neben dem Mannschaftsbus her, um ein Autogramm zu ergattern: Auf der Fernost-Tour des Fußclubs FC Arsenal ließ ein junger Vietnamese nicht locker - und wurde belohnt: Das Team ludt den 20-Jährigen in den Bus ein - und erfüllte ihm damit einen Lebenstraum.

asking myself why the bus could not go faster :mrgreen: !

Cheers,
Thomas

The Viet leg of the trip has created a huge positive wave of publicity for the club.
Its been in the news all week in Hanoi, and in HCM yesterday people are still talking about it and its still in the news.
People are made up that such a big team came to their country and the goodwill will last for a long time .
Had a blast in Hanoi people treated us like royalty and same last night in HCM too,shame to be going home later .

Fair play that bloke has put in a good shift to keep up with that bus.

I'm sure I saw in an interview he was still supporting Vietnam though :shock:
