The recent exhibition game between Chelsea and AC Milan at Baltimore’s M&T Bank stadium drew a sellout crowd of nearly 72,000 fans of the beautiful game. Certainly an encouraging display of love for the game in Charm City. Although my team did not play, I was glad to see and enjoy a compelling, competitive, and enjoyable game. The Chelsea supporters were in legion at a local pub close to the stadium and I was glad to be there amongst them to show support for Arsenal. There were some Gooners there and we acknowledged each other on the few occasions that we met.
It was great to chant Arsenal above the din of songs about celery. Truly a great experience and atmosphere.

It’s not often that we get European football here in the States. AC Milan will take on Chelsea FC on Friday, July 24th at 8:00PM EDT at the Raven’s Stadium in Baltimore.

Come on out before the game and have a few pints with the лаптопCharm City Gooners. We will be at The Abbey Burger Bistro in Federal Hill. Come on out and support an ex-Gunner, Mathieu Flamini, along with the first American to play at AC Milan, Oguchi Onyewu.

Most Gooners will be getting to the pub around 3:00PM EDT. If you don’t have tickets to the match, don’t worry. The game will be on several of the large HD TV’s in the pub.

See you there!
