I just think he was under-rated. He could cover any of the front 4 positions, and was an attacking sub to bring on. Remember when he replaced Freddie at HT 0-2 at home vs Villa? We won 3-2 in...

"Arsenal’s involvement was entirely defensive, with goalkeeper David Raya, right-back Ben White, and centre-backs William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes all making the side."

That's pretty...

Cheers for that. I remember we beat them at Highbury once. Spoke to a few of them in the chippy by Finsbury Park. They were civilised in defeat. But I said their no.6 was tasty and they agreed.

Just checked. Yeah, in '98 it was ten straight wins. In '02, it was 13 straight wins, but the OT victory that was the penultimate league match and was the 12th straight win.
...

Sorry. I wrote the post and realised I'd said "In '92." So I edited but changed the wrong digit. Was it ten wins?

Ditto question. Really? What did they do before hand?

I was reading about how Shalke was the team of the working classes and that's why in the Das Boot film, they ask someone who'd been on land...

When we won the double in '98, we went of a run of {from memory*} 13 straight wins. The first was when Freddie was injured and we won 1-0 at Everton when Skiltord shinned it in. The last was when...

Just found it. Which Gooners wrote it, btw?

I'd never heard of it but found it on YouTube so cheers, you two.

Agree about Kai's importance. If he keeps this up, we've got a real blessing. The Chavs got Mudryk and the Ecuadorian, we got...

Now he's got his confidence shooting, he's a great CF. I guess in an old 4-4-2, he'd have been a Bergy-style no.10. I also liked the games at the start of the year post-Dubai when Leo was CF, Kai...

Again, thanks. Do I share a b'day with Arsemart? Tops. It's great having a b'day that was generally around the bank holiday and in the school half term.

I guess if you don't know what it means,...

Thanks, mate.

teenage Brazilian striker at Barca we bid for before and that's how he was described.

I don't get these new terms - parking the bus is now called a low block etc. So what is this? A striker who...

I hate petty nationalism as much as you do, LA. But the historian in me can't ignore that the FA Cup is the source of all competitive footie.

Yes, I know it's the TV thing - certainly for our...

This one of my faves - The Hunchback of Notre-Dame one.

I love Lost in the Supermarket - reminds me about Barca on Ket around 20 years ago. My mate and I bought a huge octopus which we tried to bbq but it was too big to fit on the grill bit. No-one else...

Fair play to the ref. I only watch our games so I'm sure it's happened before, but I can't remember seeing a ref go to the screen, have a look and then say "Yup, I was right all along, stop wasting...

I'm no expert on the rules of footie but I thought that defenders try to keep their arms by their side to avoid handballs if it hits them.

If a wall is lined up against a FK and the ball hits the...

Yup. US Postal all over again.

Peak Fergie Utd were Sampras. I hated them and their dominance but they did it fairly.

This lot are Armstrong.

It would be karma if Pep drives home this...

WTF is French Filter House when it's at home? Of all the countries we did our teknivals in, France was the best. But the music the French sound systems played was the worst. 'ArdTek - 180 bpm...

But it was legal. There were a big five in the late 80s, but when stadiums had to become all-seater, arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs and Everton all saw their capacities decline from c.60k to 40k or less...

Financially doped. If Chapman {the other won} and Fergie could only win 3 on the bounce, Paisley 2 {3 times, 6 in 8 years} then Pep is no more than Lance Armstrong winning loads of TdFs. Simple...

Just add Hollandaise and ham.

I knew we lost there 8-0 and won 12-0 at home. Didn't know they were 4 years apart. That's quite some turn around. When did Chelsea last hammer us, how many years before us winning 5-0 the other...

The other thing about Jorgy is this.

If we bought a young, long-term Jorgy replacement with bags of potential - a Mudryk Jorgy - ideally we'd start him during his first season in the easier games,...
