Welcome to Kepa Arrizabalaga, the 923rd player to play a competitive first team game for The Arsenal. thearsenalcollection.org.uk?p=39936

It’s out there now

Burslem Port Vale (as they were then known) were Woolwich Arsenal's (as we were then known) opponents in one of the most significant games in our history. The two teams played out a 0-0 draw at the Manor Ground on 25 April 1904.

Can't believe that after scoring the equaliser, Martinelli didn't grab the ball from the back of the net and bounce it off the back of a defender's head. I thought that was the done thing these days.

It's the middle of September, and I'm walking up the hill in a short-sleeved shirt listening to Going Underground by The Jam. Maybe climate change isn't _that_ bad but also ironic.

I've said for a long time that the mp3 and shuffle play are 2 of the 3 greatest inventions (along with the fax machine). Love and Affection by Joan Armatrading followed by 7 Teen by The Regents then Northern Star by Mel C proves this.

It looks like by 2029, Reform will be full of the lot that spent 14 years screwing up the UK and people will vote for them saying they want a change.

At some point today, set aside 8 minutes and 11 seconds to listen to the Extra Sensory mix of this song. You will not be disappointed. youtu.be/arHCSB9vyhY?...

Congratulations to Martin Zubimendi, the 544th Arsenal player to score a first team competitive goal for the club. (HT @hente.bsky.social) thearsenalcollection.org.uk?p=37683

The third big price paid for an Arsenal programme this year. £13,640 (including commission) for 1893-94 Woolwich Arsenal v Accrington.

Maybe the Americans need to start being more innovative in the political rally shooting industry.

The last team that Arsenal played in the Second Division was Nottingham Forest. It was quite a send-off with full-back Bob Benson being moved to centre-forward and scoring twice in a 7-0 win. This long article has so many threads during a tumultuous time. #ARSNFO thearsenalcollection.org.uk?p=35495

"school shooting industry"

Every time someone asks Nigel Farage a question they should follow up his answer with "are you sure about that? Do you want to have a bit of a think about it to make sure you're 100% correct?"

If you're interested in Arsenal's history, there are more than 2000 old programmes, handbooks, books and other memorabilia on The Arsenal Collection. Full documents, free to view. thearsenalcollection.org.uk

On this day in 1913 Arsenal played their first game at Highbury. Here's the full programme and match report for the game from the Islington Gazette. #NorthLondonForever thearsenalcollection.org.uk?page_id=24502

@lfchistory.net Hi, do you have a list of post-WW2 Liverpool directors?

Who would have thought that the two teams that finished 1st & 2nd in the Premier League, appeared most on Sky / TNT / Amazon, finished 1st & 3rd in the Champions League group stage & one of which reached the semi-finals in 2024-25 would have a load of money to spend this summer?

@highburydb102.bsky.social Is this one of yours?

Evergreen post

If Eze or Norgaard make their debut today it will be the first time since 1978 that Arsenal players made their debut in 3 consecutive games: Jimmy Harvey (9 May v Derby), John Kosmina (19 August v Leeds) & Paul Barron (22 August v Man City).

Just hand the Premier League trophy to Howard Webb and be done with it.

I see it's the Fulham derby today. Best of luck to the original Fulham club, playing away in Fulham.

In the early 1950s floodlights weren't allowed in League games. Games kicked off earlier to get as much light as possible. However, even that wasn't enough for overcast or foggy days. Arsenal came up with a novel idea of fluorescent boards behind the goals. 1/2

Anyway, the main band was Arcane Moon who were brilliant. I'll definitely go and see them again. They describe themselves as influenced by REM, Radiohead & The Police. I would say more REM but much heavier. Great stage presence.

Gone out to watch a band. It's very quiet and we got ourselves a table. Support act has just come on and then...

Arsenal are undefeated in their last 10 games played on 31 August. There's something of a pattern here, let's hope it continues on Sunday.

IT'S CHRISTMASSSSSSSSSSSS

It was only 10 days ago that Reuben Amorim said "Today we proved that we can beat EVERY team in the Premier League!" Lucky for him he didn't mention anything about League Two teams.

Elvis Costello is re-recording his classic. Will be out later this week: (I Don't Want To Go To) Tottenham

It all started for me 50 years ago today. My dad and brother took me to watch The Arsenal against Norwich City. Alan Ball and Eddie Kelly did the honours and I was hooked.

Did anyone notice this yesterday? Max Dowman helped up and given some words of encouragement & support from one of the senior members of the team.

On this day in 1928 Arsenal became the first team to wear numbers on the back of their shirts in an English Football League match. Chelsea also wore numbered shirts on the same day but kicked-off 15 minutes after Arsenal.

35 years ago today, @tomrobinson.com stepped in at the last minute to cover for Baldrick and his merry men in the Mean Fiddler tent!
