This is part of the Arsenal Historic Videos collection. The collection comes in two parts – videos related to specific days in the year, and videos related to a specific club. This is obviously part of the latter collection.
You can find the index to both collections here
Hope you enjoy some of this. We had great fun putting the collection together!

MUGS !!!
So Arsenal finished above Tottenham for 22 consecutive years, and yes did a bit of crowing with the “It’s happened again” song. And you are celebrating after five years? At least do the decent thing and wait until you catch up – only another 17 years to go.
Oh and just in case you want to change the focus of attention the results between the two clubs currently stands at
Games won: Arsenal 83
Games drawn: 54
Games won Tottenham 66
Oh yes, another 17 to go.
I didn’t bring that up in the article, but I’m glad you reminded me. “Mugs” indeed.
