Staff at a nursery in Norway have dedicated themselves to teaching their children to become Arsenal fans, with kids decked head to toe in Gunners memorabilia and learning the words to songs sung by the Emirates faithful.
The Arsenal theme – chosen by the Gunners-supporting owners – surely amounts to child abuse, although the kids seem to be enjoying themselves.
But maybe some of the children are a bit too cunning to be brainwashed, with one rebellious youngster identifying a picture of Arsene Wenger as ‘Obama’.And the nursery are even teaching the kids to shun former Arsenal players. When one girl was asked what she thought of Robin van Persie’s departure to Manchester United, she replied: ‘Good, because we don’t want him here!’
The nursery even have their own Twitter account @Arsenal_Nursery, where they describe themselves as ‘A ‘culture pre-school’ in Oslo: a massive part of our culture is The Arsenal!’ They also tweet pictures of the kids playing at ‘Little Highbury’, a mini football pitch in the nursery’s grounds (and also apparently in 2006).
No doubt Wenger will be taking a trip to Oslo to pick up some bargains before the end of the January transfer window.
