I know a fair few people that work or have worked for Arsenal FC. Every single one of them referred to him as Mr Friar. He was universally respected. RIP Mr Friar.
Very sad news. Nobody will ever match his Arsenal tenure...a quite extraordinary life of service to the club. RIP.

What an innings. A life led almost entirely through the Arsenal.

This game is so 12:30 you half expect England to declare war on France
Can't believe I forgot the most important Arsenal birthday yesterday: The Arsenal FC. 140 years ago yesterday the members of the Dial Square Cricket Club discussed and agreed to form a football team.
No one knows what the future holds, but I’m looking forward to two decades of being furious with England for returning Max Dowman with a “niggle”.

Kenny Sansom & MLS. What a brilliantly auspicious stage of the earth’s orbit.

So, against heavily-pressing teams we need MLS with Rice, and Odegaard dropping deep. Direct balls to Havertz, Tzolis & Cala out on the left. Bruno used more against blocks. Right?
If you’d shown me these line ups two or three years ago, I’m not sure I could’ve guessed which would become Brentford and which Chelsea
What chance they put Fleetwood on the Thursday night?
