Suddenly, my cabbie rolled down his window and bellowed, "C'mon City."
"Don't tell me you're a City fan?" I said incredulously to the driver.
"I'm not," he replied. "I'm a Tottenham supporter. I hate Arsenal."
"Really?" I said, as if he had just informed me he was auditioning for "Men in Black III." "Well, I'm an Arsenal supporter and I've come all the way from America to see the Gunners administer the last rites to City's 2012 title ambitions and Spurs' dreams of a third-place finish."
The Tottenham Taxi man was not amused.
"Sorry to hear that, mate," he said. "I'm afraid I have to let you out here."
"But we're 20 minutes from the Emirates."
"Ah, but this traffic's no good, mate. Enjoy the walk in the rain."
