On this day 1981, Arsenal beat Norwich 1-0 in the 3rd round of the League Cup. With just 18 goals in 20 games there was hope that the new recruit would have defences quivering in their boots...

Liverpool's run of scoring in consecutive league games is over, meaning Arsenal still hold the record at 55 games in a row.

I'm 100% certain that even if Robertson hadn't been interfering with play in an offside decision, Slot would have insisted that the referee disallow it as it was from a set piece anyway.

After poring over a considerable number of match reports, I've concluded that the Gunners of 1903 went 854 minutes between conceding goals so they are still the club's record holders.

Arsenal have gone 16 games from the start of the season, conceding just three goals - the outright best defensive start to a campaign by any English club in history after 16 matches.

Can't see why Reform are having to backtrack on their tax cuts promise due to the state of the economy. They're the people that voted Brexit saying they'd rather be poorer outside the EU if that was the cost of leaving. Pretty sure some said they'd be happier eating grass than be in the EU.

Arsenal have kept seven clean sheets in a row in all competitions. They have only ever kept eight in a row once before and that was in 1903!

On this day 1978, Arsenal beat Hajduk Split 1-0 in the 2nd round of the UEFA Cup thanks to a late goal from Willie Young who, sadly, passed away yesterday.
Split's right back would return to Highbury in 1997 and stay for 21 years.

In April 1971 Arsenal asked Burnley to postpone their league game due to Arsenal's fixture pile-up in their double-chasing fixture run-in.
The Clarets said "no".
Karma came along and bit them in the arse as a 1-0 defeat relegated them.
