Richard: 我从出生起就是阿森纳的球迷，我的家人和朋友也都是枪手球迷。我第一次看阿森纳的比赛是在50年代末，那是一场对阵卢顿的比赛。虽然那时的卢顿实力不俗，但对我来说，支持阿森纳已经成为了一种自然而然的事情。几十年来，我见证了阿森纳的辉煌与低谷，经历了不同的球队和教练，但对阿森纳的热爱从未改变。现在，我最享受的是和孙子们一起去看球，分享这种快乐。 Art: 我的第一次阿森纳记忆是在酋长球场，那是一场对阵巴黎圣日耳曼的比赛。由于我从小就生活在阿森纳的氛围中，所以支持阿森纳对我来说也是理所当然的。我经历了阿森纳在温格时代辉煌的时期，也经历了球队低迷的时期。在温格时代，阿森纳的比赛风格以传控见长，这对我来说是阿森纳足球的代名词。然而，近年来阿森纳的比赛风格有所改变，这让我对阿森纳的足球风格产生了新的思考。 Arthur: 我是在小学二年级开始支持阿森纳的，当时我的朋友告诉我他支持阿森纳，然后我就也开始支持了。我开始看球的时候，阿森纳正处于低谷期，但近年来球队的表现越来越好，这让我对阿森纳的未来充满希望。我最期待比赛本身，能够近距离观看球员，虽然我的第一次比赛以0-0的平局告终，但这并不影响我对阿森纳的热爱。 Amy: 我经历了阿森纳历史上多个时期，包括双冠王时期、格雷厄姆时代和温格时代。每个时期都有独特的足球风格和球队特点，我见证了阿森纳的辉煌与低谷，也经历了球队连续获得联赛亚军的时期。连续获得亚军令人沮丧，但阿森纳的进步有目共睹，这让我对阿森纳的未来充满信心。比赛日对我来说不仅是看比赛，更是与朋友家人相聚的时刻。

Shownotes Transcript

How much are football perceptions coloured by age? To what extent is the football experience consumed and digested differently according to how new or old you are to the game?

These questions came up when one of our Arsenal correspondents, Art De Roché, had what he described as an “existential” conversation with his friend in the wake of the week which virtually extinguished hopes of a Premier League title. Art is in his mid-20s. Arsenal last won the title when he was five, so there is no strong memory of such an achievement. It made him wonder to what extent this shapes his Arsenal world compared to older fans who were there to see major trophies and iconic eras from the club’s story.

So, The Athletic decided to pull together a multi-generational gathering to compare notes and feelings, to establish what four generations share in their Arsenal experience, and what differs, based on when they happened to be thrust into this world.

The conversation flowed between four supporters whose first game ranged from the 1950s to the 2010s. The cast is Arthur, who represents the teenagers, Art, the 20-somethings, Amy in the middle-aged bracket, and Richard, the veteran.
