I drove down to the Celtic on Market Street in Lower Downtown Denver (LoDo) yesterday morning with my friend Mark, seen in the photograph above, to watch a soccer match between Newcastle United and Arsenal with the Mile High Magpies, the local Newcastle supporters' group. Mark is a big Newcastle fan and wanted to catch a game with the Magpies before the season ends this coming weekend. The last time we were at the Celtic, we watched the Newcastle game in a room in the basement, which I was not impressed with, but this time, since both the Newcastle and Arsenal supporter's groups were there to watch the game, we were all able to sit together in the main room upstairs, which was actually pretty nice. The place was packed, and everyone seemed to be very much into the game. Arsenal, which is a London team, won the game 1-0, but I am happy to report that no fights broke out between the two groups. At least this time.
