Was your Dad a Gooner @Mszeebop?

After 22 years, Arsenal have just won the Premiership, has your brother changed his WA pic to reflect this?

Yes Selkie33 my dad was Gooner, but not as much as my older brother.
As my dad struggled with Cancer he spoke to me about football. I thought he was mistaking me for my brother. I tried to entertain him as as best I could.
To be honeset, he was sufferring so I don't feel so sad that he missed out on the celebration.
However, my brother gave such a good eulogy at my dad's funeral, really made us proud, that I am happy that he is happy at Arsenal's long awaited win.
