And just like this season it was against Newcastle United. I have covered this game before, but the coincidence of starting the season with the same match is too [...] By Tony Attwood I appreciate that for the vast majority of people who attended last night’s AGM of the Arsenal Independent Supporters Association meeting, the big event – indeed the reason for being there – was the appearance by Ivan Gazidis and his willingness to take open questions from fans. It was an amazing occasion, [...] By Tony Attwood Since mentioning the publication of the “Dial Square to Woolwich Arsenal” booklet recently I have received a number of emails concerning how one might get the booklet.

If you can help, I’d be grateful. Arsenal’s first foreign player. Of course there’s an issue of definition here, but taking it [...] by Tony Attwood I am working with two great friends of this site (Andy Kelly and Mark Andrews) to produce the book WOOLWICH ARSENAL: THE CLUB THAT CHANGED FOOTBALL. Following discussions with Arsenal FC there is a chance that they will take the book and sell it through their shops and on line – it [...] Just on two years ago AISA, the Arsenal Independent Supporters Association, voted to set up a division of the association with the view to exploring and promoting an awareness of Arsenal’s history.
