Arsenal's new Friend

Former Friends star David Schwimmer is planning to immerse himself in London culture during his stint in the West End - by going to watch Arsenal.

Schwimmer, 38, stars in Neil LaBute's black comedy Some Girls opposite Saffron Burrows and Sara Powell.

He said he intends to take in Tate Modern, Caravaggio and an Arsenal match or two.

"A great friend of mine is a big Arsenal fan and he's already taken me to see a match once," he said. "I'm sure I'll be taking in a few more - and I'd better say I'm an Arsenal fan because Saffron and Sara both are."
