Arsenal FC book

Rocker

Today in a charity shop, I found a book about Arsenal FC and its history in the section labelled 'Humour'.

They got that right...

Sadly the one about the history of success at Bristol City can largely be found under ‘Fiction’.

Fantasy?

And the one about Tottenham Hotspur is branded as fake news, but was found in the children's book section. I sympathise with the children - must have been a traumatic experience finding that in amongst the Dr Seuss.

Surely Spurs would be in the Best Sellers section?

Man U in the History section?

Newcastle in Foreign Languages?

The [Newcastle] language must be a problem for the foreign players, most of whom are fluent in English and a half dozen other European languages.

But the one about blowing 2 or 3 goal leads has been regularly updated the last season or two... (ex boss was a huge City fan. The number of times he'd pop his head in the kitchen gleefully at half time only to return 45 minutes later with a look of resignation on his face...)

What's humorous about Arsenal's history exactly?

Won the League 13 times.

Won the FA Cup 13 times (record)

Only club to go a whole season unbeaten in the Premiership.

IIRC the longest serving team in the top flight, they haven’t been outside the top division since after WWII.

That's true, the only team to never be relegated.

That was a simpler way of putting that!

Arsenal FC Cookbook - -they missed a trick there!

Urgent! Volunteers are needed at Arsenal Stadium today to move snow. If we can get enough people shovelling it in, we might be able to cancel the game.

Norwich City's book was called 'Norfolk and Good"

Just when Arsenal needed them, nobody turned up! Apart from Man City who did their usual demolition job....

Seems is now the only resort for Arsenal to make any money now - publishing. Cos they aint getting any Champs Lge action next year either!

They may have a rich history but they are a home in comparison for last few years... for a rich club, with worldwide fan base - they are level below city, Chelsea, even spurs at the moment.

Özil last night was a perfect representative - super talented, skilled - just couldn't give a fuck...

Yep, but they cheated to get there in the first place, having finished fifth in Division 2 when they 'won' promotion ahead of the teams that finished above them.
