THE ARSENAL ❤️❤️❤️

@garythegooner56 Loved as a player, unsung hero. RIP

So sad to hear that Peter Simpson has passed away aged 81. He was a superb player for Arsenal who played in many different positions for the Gunners. Eventually playing CB forming a wonderful understanding with Frank McLintock in our 71 Double winning side. God bless & RIP Stan

No wonder I have no hair!!

@garythegooner56 Congratulations Gary, I am on 69 years.

OTD 60 years ago in 1966 I attended my 1st ever Arsenal game aged 9 against Newcastle. We lost 3-1 in the dying embers of Billy Wright’s reign. Four months before England won the World Cup Team Furnell Storey Simpson Court Neill Ure Skirton Sammels Radford Eastham Armstrong

@goonerdave66 Wonderful poem, I am going to Wembley today with my son and I realise just how lucky I am. My thoughts are with you Dave.

A poem I wrote in lockdown about how my Arsenal can never quite be the same without Liam. The picture on the side of the Emirates was the artists version of us pre Villa at Wembley in 2015. Enjoy your day my friends, hug those you love and COYG ❤️

@WestStandTone Yes got my two, very quick.

Cup Final tickets sorted. Much less of a plava than expected, full seat map available for Wembley.

@GeoffArsenal Well said Geoff.

I see a huge % of the fanbase have given up on Gyok. I think it’s harsh on the lad. We were desperate for a Striker, there were very few on the market, the Club pulled the trigger and chose him. He’s an ‘old school’ 9. He’s powerful and he is quick, and if he’s in the final third facing the goal he’ll be selfish and shoot to score. Just what we needed right? We’ve basically played with a false 9 for 2/3 seasons. We need to adapt a bit to play to his strengths. Most of the teams that we play use a low block so there is little or no space for him to work most of the time so far. We also play with inverted wingers, and a controlled build up. For a 9 it’s nearly impossible to know when to make that run across your defender when you have wingers that cut in and out when trying to shake off defenders. I think because of all the above, he’s struggling with confidence. It’s a pressure situation, big fee, expected goals, new league with faster, fitter and stronger defenders, different from what he’s used to and lack of service. I’m sure when Kai comes back we can sit Big Vic down, let him catch his breath, get used on rotation and hopefully the team finds a way over time to work together and get the best out of him. Maybe I’m just hoping, but i do believe Big Vic can score goals for us, important goals, goals that we don’t expect him to score. In the mean time I’m not giving him a hard ride because it’s not entirely his fault.

@phlwll On your bike?

Coming out as in leaving the house, not as in, y’know… Is this thing on?

It’s 20 miles to Arsenal, I got a full belly, a half full bladder, it’s dark and pissing down and I’m wearing sunglasses. Hit it.

@DarrenArsenal1 He was.

Arguably one of the best strikers the club had.

@GeoffArsenal 🎣

@GaryHooker16 I am so sorry, love to you all.
