UNBEATEN
The 2003/04 season will always be remembered for Arsenal's unbeaten
Premiership campaign, an extraordinary run which propelled the Gunners to
their third title under Arsene Wenger. They began the season with a 2-1
home victory over Everton and ended it with an identical win against
Leicester City. Arsenal have now gone a Club record 40 League games
without tasting defeat, a run which stretches back to May 7, 2003.
Wenger's team can eclipse Nottingham Forest's all-time record of 42
unbeaten League games if they avoid defeat in their first three matches of
the 2004/05 Premiership season. Arsenal's record of consecutive matches
unbeaten in all competitions stands at 24 and was set between March 20,
2002 and Oct 19, 2002.
UNDERGROUND
The closest underground station to Arsenal Stadium is, aptly enough,
Arsenal. The station was originally named after the road on which it
stands - Gillespie Road - but it was renamed in 1932. The great Herbert
Chapman deserves credit for this after persistently lobbying the
authorities during his time as Arsenal manager. The second closest tube
station to Highbury is Finsbury Park, where the Arsenal World of Sport is
located. Drayton Park will be the nearest station to the new stadium,
which is scheduled to open in time for the 2006/07 season.
UNDERHILL
Arsenal's Reserves play their home games at Underhill Stadium, home of
Barnet FC. Eddie Niedzwiecki's team usually play their home fixtures on
Monday nights and, with free entrance to the ground, it's a perfect
opportunity to catch a glimpse of some of Arsenal's young stars and
first-team fringe players in action. The nearest tube station to Underhill
is High Barnet on the Northern Line. The station is a five-minute walk
down Barnet Hill to the ground. You can also reach New Barnet railway
station via an 'overground' train, which is around 15 minutes walk away
from the stadium.
'UP FOR GRABS NOW!'
The immortal words of the late Brian Moore, who commentated on the title
decider between Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield on May 26, 1989. Arsenal
needed to win by two goals to snatch the title from their opponents and
led 1-0 with just seconds remaining. Cue Moore: 'And Arsenal come
streaming forward in what will surely be their last attack. A good ball by
Dixon, finding Smith, to Thomas, charging through the midfield. It's up
for grabs now!' The rest, as they say, is history.
