Some brief notes on Ivan’s Q&A last night. The evening went like this: 7:00pm – in we go to the Royal Oak suite in the North Bank Club Level. Handed a free drink voucher on entry. Much milling around and chatting. Various stands in place with display of new home kit and other commercial kind…

As Ivan Gazidis will face 300 representatives of supporter groups this evening, it seems an appropriate time to post some information about the Arsenal Supporters’ Trust. The AST gets some flak from certain other Arsenal fans. I realise that these days every viewpoint of every Arsenal fan will get flak from some other Arsenal supporter…

This subject has been discussed before, but may well be raised again tomorrow at the supporters’ Q&A with Ivan Gazidis, given the refusal of Stan Kroenke to put money into the club’s coffers, and the apparent desire of Alisher Usmanov to do so. I’m taking some of the general info and definitions from this web…

I hate the word ‘Emirates’ as the name for Arsenal’s stadium. Absolutely hate it with a passion. I still can’t believe the club (well, Keith Edelman at the time) were so stupid as to not add another word into the title so we don’t have to suffer people calling it ‘The Emirates’ for the last…

When the new stadium financing was signed in July 2006 the club signed up to the following agreement to protect lenders against asset stripping or a ‘fire sale’ of players: Arsenal must ensure that,…

There’s some gold dust in old Arsenal programmes sometimes. This is an eyewitness account of the events surrounding one of the most infamous matches in Arsenal history: the FA Cup tie away against Walsall on 14 January 1933. Arsenal were beaten 2-0 by the struggling Third Division side in a match regarded then and for…

If you can’t remember the 1970s in Britain, count yourself lucky. They were dingy. Magnolia paint was the height of sophistication. While continentals lived in brightly painted villas under blue skies, Britons lived in damp terraced houses or damp concrete tower blocks under drizzle, and everything looked grey. In Holland they had sparkling Total Football;…
