This is a dialogue between Nick and one of his students, who he figures out is an arsenal fan. This is a hilarious passage because the bad kid--the one who sits in the back of class, has a mod haircut, and likes Arsenal--upon being questioned about Arsenal by a teacher responds doubtfully that the teacher knows or has any passion for the gunners (arsenals nickname). Little does the kid know his teach, Nick Hornby, is one of the most obsessed and passionate Arsenal fans in the world. It is hilarious to hear Nicks response to the questioning of his fandom.
