Jakes has a family history of Royal Arsenal love but is just coming into his own as a fan. He still lacks the proper attire but his attendance rate at Nevada's has been steadily climbing. He does, however, tend to have a punctuality problem. His rarely arrives til about the 30th minute, but maybe that's just his way of emulating his gunners who also do their bast work late in the match. An intellectual by trade, he favors a less boisterous style of fandom than his compatriots, but is capable of violent outbursts of Red and White patriotism screaming "This is Bullshit!", "Come on Arsenal!", and his trademark "It's not over till we say it is!". And you know what? He's right.
Here are his stats:
Favorite Drink: Black and Tan
Favorite Player: Bacary Sagna
Favorite Song/Chant: Wanky Tottenham Hotspur
Favorite Arsenal Gear: N/A, but there is talk of a Fabregas Shirt
Favorite Game: Carling Final 07 (A loss, but a great day for Jakes)
Where you'll find him at the bar: Anywhere by the Second Half
Like all Gooners, Jakes is a stand-up human being. He teaches distressed teens theatre and writes about politics on Daily Kos. The photo by, by the way, is from his fabulous karaoke rendition of "No Diggity". Here is a picture of the jersey he will one day own.
