Arsenal in the double season: beating Derby on this day (the video)

By Tony Attwood

I’d already put up a video for today when I opened an email from Jim Orr who had kindly forwarded this video – which is far too good to leave until 31 October next year.

Arsenal’s big defeat had come in the match against Stoke, where we lost 5-0.

Thereafter things had settled down quite a bit…
