I've heard that he gave himself a handjob once. Absolutely chilling.

My pike-fishing mad Gooner cousin from Belfast posted a pic of himself at a lough, holding a fuck-off pike (he doesn't kill them), with the caption. " Grand weekend with four to the net!"

I replied "This weekend Arsenal had just the one to the net."

I imagine that is the longest time we have held a one nil lead in a single game.

Difficult to hold it for much longer unless you're up against Manu and 20 minutes Fergie time!!

1895 cup final might beat it if they had such a thing as added time. We scored the only goal after 30 or 45 seconds depending on which source you believe.

Our record was hopeless at Highbury for many many years, was 1993 our last actual win there before they moved? We had the odd good draw there like the 2-2 in the league cup in 1996 but it was largely defeat after defeat in its last years when Arsenal were obviously very good.

I've seen a 5-0 loss at the Emirates but must've also seen 3 or 4 wins and we also conceded a 90th minute goal to draw 1-1 in 2008 so generally it's a venue we've been pretty good at since it opened, were robbed there last season in a game we should've won aswell.

Annoying we've now put our VP hoodoo against them well and truly behind us without 40k seeing it but there you go, bigger things to worry about currently in the world.

Only Man City have more wins at the Emirates.

And Arsenal...just.

Man City do have a three year advantage on us due to that whole "not being relegated" scam they were running.

Though according to the article below, Villa, Man City and Man U are all joint second behind Chelsea.

Wasn't that your last Villa game, JD (see Dean Smith thread)?

It was Eamonn, until the first home game against Bournemouth last season, when I came home for a while.

Much improved from the WH game, where we dropped from our high standards.

Thought Bert played well and worked hard; he's looking like a bit of a nightmare to deal with. Barkley had a much better game but was involved in a lot of good things, just not when we had the ball. Didn't like his reaction to being taken off -disrespectful to the sub when you behave like that. Reminded me of Carbone, in similar situations.
