Mark Fagan

Right, we are here at Dublin Airport, about to set off because Arsenal are playing Brentford tonight in the Premier League.

I'm joined by Mark Fagan, Arsenal superfan, who only had to go and get a tattoo to get himself on this trip.

Yeah, that was all.

When did you get that?

Well, that's it.

Given the way things are going this season, there might be plenty of opportunities.

Yeah, I hope so.

Two flight values, the top one, yeah, 108.

Mark, is this a familiar walk?

Yeah, a familiar walk, yeah.

It's a familiar smell.

It's a familiar smell, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like, it is like a real assault on the senses, especially when you're here early and you can just see all the food vendors just getting ready for the assault of people coming over the next couple of hours.

Yeah, all the flags and scarves and pins and badges and stuff around here on the left as well, yeah.

It's half past three.

7.30 kick-off, so we're four hours early for kick-off.

I don't suppose you've ever been this early for the Emirates before.

Not here, no.

Do you think it's changed a lot around here, like in terms of the energy around the club, the atmosphere in the stadium?

That's it, I think it was James McNicholas, I think.
