An absolutely freezing night at the Emirates to watch the FA Cup third round replay between Arsenal and Swansea. Even though the stadium was only 3/4 full, the atmosphere was excellent. The fans were cheering on the Gunners, pushing them, willing them forward.

Turns out that black tie means bowtie, silly shirt, cumberbund optional.
So off I go to Moss Bros and rent the full get-up.
I’m assured I look dashing and very 007, but really, could this whole get-up be any more anachronistic?
