Rotation tonight. We have enough to progress. Would love us to get to the final. The squad is good enough. Big opportunity for the Hale End boys. Up The Gunners! Whatever the weather 🔴⚪️ #arsenal

Despite the frustration of yesterday's performance it was brilliant to go on the matchday tour with THE legend Charlie George. Great stories and his hate for 'that lot' is still as strong as ever 😂 Love this football club 🙌🏻 #arsenal

Absolute pleasure to meet Perry Groves, Paul Merson, Alan Smith and Charlie Nicholas last night. Some great and hilarious stories! Bagging a raffle prize was a nice bonus! Proper Arsenal legends 👍🏻 #arsenal

Just finished reading these 2. Cannot recommend both books enough. Written by proper Arsenal men. Fascinating to read our history from Martin Wengrews perspective. Outstanding... must read for any proper Arsenal supporters #Arsenal

We did the very best with what we had. Could ask no more. Close but not close enough but a performance to be proud of. Fine margins etc. Ignore the noise that's coming. Don't repost it, don't share it, don't buy into it. Think about where we were and where we are now #arsenal

Ordered this book by Martin Wengrow on the train home from yesterday's game at around 8pm... turns up this morning at 11am! Can't wait to get stuck into it. As someone writing about supporting The Arsenal from 80s to present, I'm sure this will inspire 👍🏻 #Arsenal

On this day 38 (!!!) years ago - And what a day this was! 1987 Littlewoods Cup Final. Charlie scored both, and so the reign of George Graham began. One of my favourite games ever especially as we'd beaten Spurs in the semi final the same way. 'One nil down, two One up!' Great memories! #arsenal

Proper bit of retro gooner history here... Football League South 1945/46 programmes vs Wolves (Dec 45) and Southampton (Apr 46) not exactly immaculate but nor should they be. Great additions to my collection #arsenal

In Norfolk to get writing done. Out in Cromer I find an old shop selling old football progs. Found this Man Utd v Arsenal from Aug 71 played at Anfield. Due to crowd trouble the previous season Utd had to play their first 2 games away from Old Trafford. A nice addition to my collection #Arsenal

Any excuse to show this... Happy 69th Birthday Liam Brady. My first Arsenal hero and one of the greatest I've ever seen play for The Arsenal #Arsenal

Bought this slightly weathered Arsenal Programme binder from season 68/69 on a market stall today. Contained a selection of home and away progs from that season plus the 70/71 handbook and supporters club membership cards 68 to 71. Love seeing the history of this club #arsenal

Thoughts from last night. Zinchenko was good. Sterling wasn't. Rice/Havertsz great. Professional performance. Nwaneri back Clearly spare tickets block 19 had been taken by Zagreb fans. Stewards did the best they could but...! Touts and ticketing sites must've had LOADS. On to Wolves Sat. #ARSENAL

Before light shows and tifo's... October 1999. Champions League night vs Barcelona at Wembley. Working for the Highbury & Islington Express. Organised Red and White cards for display as the teams walked out. Great times... apart from the result #arsenal
