Ok, self-promotion time.
The new issue of the Gooner (264) goes on sale this evening at the game v Bayern Munich. We have a limited supply of free postcards courtesy of Twitter designer @MrHChapman to give away to buyers whilst stocks last. Ask your seller if you are buying at a busy time when they do not have time to offer them to you.
As for the issue itself, aside from regulars including Talking Reds, The Spy, Mickey Cannon, Anger Management Inbox, the North Bank Times and the 91st Minute, there is a good blend of writing on current and nostalgic topics.
Here’s a list of some of the other subject matter…
• Kieran Gibbs Interview
• Granit Xhaka – Has Arsene been sold a pup?
• Injury problems of Welbeck and Cazorla
• What’s the reality of this infamous ‘Mental Strength’?
• ‘In the Away End’ - Sutton United chatroom
• Trip report from Bayern Munich
• The notion that Alexis Sanchez “deserves better” than Arsenal
• What might have happened if Arsene Wenger had left the club in 2004
• The George Graham Years - 1994-95
• The FA Cup replay at Luton in 1986
• Changes in the game since The Gooner came into existence 30 years ago
• The notion that yellow is a lucky colour for Arsenal’s away kit
• The benefits for fans of disliking opposition players
