“This Sunday marks the 13th anniversary of an extremely important night in Arsenal Football Club’s history as on this night in 1989 Arsenal were facing the undaunting challenge of having to go to Anfield and beat the defending league (and recently crowned FA Cup winners a weekend earlier) champions Liverpool.
What made it even more difficult was the fact that Arsenal required a win of 2 clear goals to lift the title as the rules back then stated that in the event of a tie at season’s end between top teams an extra point would be awarded for scoring more goals since the goal...

“I used to go to the website all the time, they always had new features and stuff, but lately it doesn’t look like they’ve added anything new.
Hey, trying to topple secret government agencies can be pretty tough work sometimes. Have YOU ever tried to get a [insert finger quotes] laser [end finger quotes] attached to a shark’s head? I didn’t think so.
Much like the pause one takes in that post-coital moment, Arsenal America has taken a bit of a breather in the afterglow of Arsenal’s Double triumph, which for many of us probably came close to bringing the...

“Danny Peters unleashes an opus on Arsenal America
THE TREBLE DOUBLE
In the last decade I must have written more than a million words on Arsenal Football Club. I?ve contributed to the Gooner, for the vast majority of the last fifty issues (thanks Mr. Francis), to the Highbury and Islington Express with an opinionated Fans Eye View column, to Chris Parry?s excellent arsenal-world.net and in enough emails to crash several hefty servers. I even wrote a 10,000 word, twelve-page special back in 1999 on the future of Highbury. Verbiage on matters red and white has not been a problem for...

“*Ow*! My aching head! So where do we begin? We started off with a season of doubts and hopes and ended up with the DOUBLE!

This set the momentum for a run-in like nothing seen this side of United’s march to treble success in the ‘99 season. The stars seemed...

“Alex Ferguson was visiting Arsene Wenger at Arsenal’s training ground. Arsene explained that they did not only doing physical training but also mental training. “”Let me explain”" said Arsene as he called Dennis Bergkamp over.
Arsene then asked him: “”If I have a picture of your father’s son, but it’s not your brother…who is it then?”"
“”That would be me”" said Dennis without even having to think about it…
Ferguson is stunned and decides to try it at the next United training session. He calls over...

“The Gunners take on Premiership runners-up Liverpool in the FA Community Shield on Sunday, August 11 at the Millennium Stadium, kick-off 2pm.
The traditional curtain raiser to the new season has been renamed this year and will feature Arsene Wenger’s Double winners for the first time since they won it at the start of the 1999/00 season.
On that occasion Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-1, with goals from Kanu and Ray Parlour canceling out David Beckham’s first-half opener.
Wenger’s side will be making their second trip to Cardiff this year after the cup final win...
