Every day on this site we publish a video of a historic Arsenal game. Where possible this is linked to a match on the day on which we are publishing – where not we try and find something interesting.
Additionally, as we now have over 260 articles featuring a historic video we are now gathering them together, grouped by the club we are playing – and occasionally adding one or two more at that point.
Here to begin is the game from Boxing Day this season
Since we started our daily video series we have put up eight videos of Arsenal playing Chelsea and here are the links….
- Chelsea 1 Arsenal 3 and how players used to celebrate
- Knocking two past Chelsea
- Beating Chelsea and making it look easy
- Arsenal v Chelsea – the 2-2 draw in Jan 2018
- Arsenal hammer Chelsea in 2010
- We go 2 down to Chelsea and come back to win 3-2
- In the year 2000, Chelsea 2 Arsenal 2
- Arsenal 3 Chelsea 3 in 1996
The video collection series
This is where we collect together all the videos we’ve published for games against a specific club. It’s a recent addition to the series, so this is just the seventh in the sequence, but we expect to add many more when we get into the summer and there are no matches to commemorate.
- Beating West Brom through the years
- Arsenal against Newcastle: the video collection (inc the 7-3 win!)
- Arsenal v Everton – the historic games on video
- Arsenal v Fulham – the history in videos
- Seven amazing historic videos of Arsenal v Liverpool
- Arsenal against Villarreal. Videos from all the past matches
If you’d like some more history there are two sites you’ll find of interest. First the “Today of All Days” series on the AISA.org site which highlights a major event from the club’s past on the day in question. And the daily post on this site which lists all the anniversaries for the day, and features a new video.
Now, to round it all off, here is a list of our games against Chelsea in the Premier League era.
