The second half of my favourite magazine from my childhood. See here for part 1. Twenty years later the same picture of the unnamed little boy above featured on the cover of the first edition of Fever Pitch. I was assured a few months ago by Mirror journalist John Cross that Ken Jones, who wrote…

In 1971 Arsenal won the Double for the first time, becoming only the fourth club in history to do so, and only the second in the 20th century. To celebrate this momentous achievement the Daily Mirror produced a magazine called The Glory Of The Gunners. Here is the first half of it. (The front and…

I’m really just throwing this out there to see if anyone has better info or a better memory than me. Please comment with your thoughts. The other day I was pondering on the formation of the Premier League and trying to work out which came first: the extra money or the decision to split from…

I’m short on time at the moment, so a guest post today from Dyllan Munro. Exactly who has the best midfield in London? For many years now Arsenal fans have salivated over the attractive, possession-oriented football on display. However, while we have been forced to watch many of our talented stars leave, the likes of…

This is something I wrote a couple of months ago while the season was still going on, but unless I’m going mad and can’t find it, I never posted it here. I just found it again, and with a few tweaks it’s still pertinent, given that no money has yet been spent this summer. There’s…

There is a lot of BS about football on twitter. It’s worst in the summer when there’s no actual meaningful football going on, and all there is to talk about is who might sign for whom. Some people even try and make money from peddling fake transfer news and asking you to click on links…

Haven’t got time to write blog posts this week. So here’s something I found in the paper. I cut it out, but not because I need it, you understand, just for a friend. I reckon this bloke might need something similar, he looks to have problems.And here’s my favourite ever Champions League moment. Right, must…

This is my final word on Luis Suarez. I don’t care what anyone else thinks about him, whether he would bring Arsenal some long-awaited trophies (though I doubt it – he hasn’t done a lot for Liverpool) or anything else. He behaves with no class whatsoever, and I don’t want to see him in an…

After 691 votes, the Arsenal-loving public decided by the narrowest of margins that Luis Suarez is worth buying – exactly 51% being in favour and 49% against. I’m sure that even those who voted ‘No’ recognise that the bitey one is quite talented. Now call me old-fashioned, but if I did a poll on whether…

A couple of days ago I did a post where I mentioned the Premier League’s page of transfers so far this summer, which is here. What I should have done really was link you to this page run by @The_GFP, as he has a more comprehensive list. He looks scarier than the PL, but oddly…
