Headline in Texas "Spurs Pounds Arsenal"

Traveling this week, imagine my surprise at a whole paragraph (!) in the Austin American Statesman regarding Tottenham's 5-1 win over Arsenal (or Arsenal's second team, depending on your point of view).

Then by coincidence on the Austin-Dallas flight I took, I sit next to a Texas based technical sales rep. who worked for an English parent company based North of London- "full of Arsenal and Tottenham fans" as he put it- this kind spoke in glowing and revered terms of a trip he made to the Emirates Stadium with his colleagues to see.... an Arsenal-Tottenham game. He is still trying to understand why eveyone was standing and loved the "language of the crowd"
