All I know is a war that started between 2 close friends. one was a gooner and the other was a Chelsea fan. One of them was stabbed. Luckily, he did not die. it was last season when Chelsea beat Arsenal. In Kenya, English football is off limits. They die to see their teams win. and they commit suicide if their teams loose.
