The first Gooner of the season will be on sale this afternoon before and after the Liverpool game. Costing £3, the 48 page ad free fanzine comes with a free A2 sized poster of Alexis Sanchez for buyers purchasing their copy at the ground.
The features inside include plenty of reminiscence on how last season ended, including an ‘In The Away End’ feature looking at the Spurs’ forums on the day they allowed Arsenal to overtake them. The notion of whether there is going to be a power shift in North London is examined as well.
There is an interview with the former Invincible, right back Lauren, as well as plenty of nostalgic pieces, recalling the 1990-91 season, Clive Allen’s transfer to Arsenal in 1980 and Gunners that joined the club from the continent over the last 40 years. There are reflections on Euro2016 and the immediate future for the England team, a trip report from the club’s pre-season tour of the States and an article discussing Aaron Ramsey’s best position after his performances in France during the summer.
There are a couple of articles on how Arsenal need to adapt their tactics if they are to achieve the success of the past under Arsene Wenger, as well as cartoon capers with our favourite Spurs fan, Dwight Hart-Lane. Regulars such as Talking Reds, the Spy, Mickey Cannon, Anger Management, Well Played, Inbox, North Bank Times and the 91st Minute are also in the issue.
The fanzine can be bought from sellers on your route to the stadium (although try and pick it up by 3.45 as the sellers go into the match themselves). If you don’t manage to pick one up before the game, you should be able to find a seller on your way out.
If you are not attending the game today, the fanzine can be bought through our Gooner store here for £3 plus 60p postage. Full details of the issue contents can be found here. If you prefer to pay via online bank transfer, please make a payment for £3.60 to the following account
