That, and the fact that in 100 years of football, one, ONE team has gone a season unbeaten.
125 and only team to do it
I think you'll find that Preston F.C. did it also..

Over 100 years ago, when there were only about 4 teams in the league and they still used jumpers for posts.....

Our history and tradition. Yeah I know they don't mean fuck all to the current board or many of our "cool" JCL fans, but fuck those geebags, history and tradition are the two things that kept me a Gooner after the initial flirtation with the club based on them having loads of Oirish players in the mid 70's and on my old man being a Gooner.

Loved the old cannon. Loved Victoria Concordia Crescit. Loved the club blazer on FA cup final day. Loved the 30's art deco crest. Loved the fact our captain dictated sleeve length at every game. Loved being hated - but respected. Loved Highbury. Loved the old NB.

All these things I've loved and Wenger and the current board have pissed them all away.

All I have left are loving the name "The Arsenal" and the odd season when we actually play in our proper jersey of red body and white sleeves. Even the beautiful football we once played under Wenger is gone, now replaced with the toothless boring tippy tappy pass pass shite we currently go round in circles with.

things i love about arsenal:

-Its "The Arsenal"

-Highbury - cracking ground art deco and all that

-unbeaten season

-1989

-Titi, pires, berkhamp, adams and viera, rvp...and maybe Ian wright

-history/tradition, the old school tie thing (although thats all gone a bit tits up)

-we were always a better club than our neighbours and we went 10 years without sp#rs beating us (again now tits up)

The Arsenal

The Red and White (though less so this horrible kit)

In the past its all been about the blazer and tie. This needs to be reintroduced!!

Anfield 89 a piece history that will never be repeated, and it's magnitude surpasses any double or treble.

(for the akbs, this happened under a manager named George Graham)

a very good point, can you imagine the current squad/manager having the balls and belief to get a result like that.

Strange how there's a shop looking out onto the pitch like that.

I was going to post something similar on your lines here DB, it seems to me that all the things I loved about The Arsenal are being eradicated the cannon/crest, the ground and the original fans, it's a real shame that I think Flash's recent idea of forming a break-away club is a great idea, I wish there was someone with some dough who could make this happen, because I'd sign up for it.
