Okay, I'll object, with this defense: Some of the other references mentioned -- particularly the ones which mention ''Hitchhiker's Guide'' and ''Ocean's Twelve'' -- amount to nothing more than passing background noise in otherwise completely unrelated-to-football subjects. Furthermore, in ''The Full Monty'', few if anyone outside of the UK (and then it would still likely require that the viewer have at least some understanding of the football reference); it is brief instance. Regardless of what informs ''your'' particular interests in pop-culture, ''The Pogues'' are quite well known musically. Regardless of whether a single was made of the song, it appears on what is arguably their top album -- and Pogues fans know that the reference is there. Besides the fact, it is an '''Arsenal in popular culture''' reference; my contribution -- whether or not it is of interest to you -- fits appropriately under that heading.
Look, Wikipedia is for everyone -- the Arsenal F.C. article included. Pardon me if this sounds like a personal attack, but judging by the history of your own edits as they appear in the article, it often appears as though you feel as though you are free to have appropriated it as your own personal property. I am willing to concede you efforts in maintaining the article in ''British English;'' but in the name of the democractic priniciple of Wikipedia, I am not giving up an inch of turf.
Inasmuch, I have replaced the reference to which I am referring. [[User:Ryecatcher773|Ryecatcher773]]
