Arsenal’s party embodies the metropolitan swagger and angst of a divided city [The Guardian]

any football club of Arsenal’s size and scale must embody an idea, a story, not just a crest and a list of achievements. In a sense the idea of Arsenal – you might even call it Arsenalism – reflects the idea of London more generally. A place constantly shifting and innovating, adding and shedding layers, plural and complex and multipolar and diverse, where all are welcome, where outsiders can be locals and vice versa. A place of metropolitan swagger and metropolitan angst, a melting pot of ideas as much as people. A lodestar. A sense of orientation in a landscape of dizzying, bewildering, often hostile change. A home to call one’s own.
