In the George Graham era I'm pretty sure we had the smallest pitch in the league to stop opponents playing Wenger type football.

We play in red & white because Nottingham Forest donated an old set of kit to us.

Our game against Sheffield United in 1927 was the first English league game to be broadcast on the radio.

Fred Beardsley had played for Forest so asked them to donate. Think they gave us a match ball as well.

Always missed the Highbury pitch. I thought our football was better suited to it and still do.
Good old Arsenal, we're proud to say that name
