Awful season that actually. Came 16th and some think 8th is bad.
Had a season low attendance of 16,000 against Newcastle too.

Yeah man believe me there has been worse teams.
Fucking nobody with the balls or vision to build a team around Brady.
If Brady never went to Juventus his talent would never have reached itâs rightful level here.

I look at that side, though.
Brady, Ball, Kidd, Rice. I think Radford was still there, too?
As you say, the right management and Arsenal win another league title in the 70s.
That particular season was only won by bloody Derby managed by Johnny Giles (I believe). Charlie George played for them that season.

1975-76, Doesnât look awful does it? Was Bertie Mee really bad by then?
Dave Mackay actually but yeah it never reached itâs true standing and should never have fell that far back.

Oh yeah. He was well and truly lost by then. Whisper it but heâs the worst Arsenal manager ive ever seen by that time.

Leading goal scorer though for 3 seasons here and golden boot winner one season.
Had bad knee injuries here.
Bone or gristle left in from an early injury at Newcastle.
Back in the day before laser surgery ruined his career.
Alan Hudson never worked out though. Chelsea shite transfer before it became a trend.

Yeah 5 3 game. Stand out memory that.
Trivia fact of the day for you here. The surgeon who eventually sorted his knee out late on after he left was named Bram Stoker.

I went to a midweek game against Newcastle at Highbury in the late eighties and there was a crowd of around 18,000, which I thought was low.
I think youâre right, itâs pretty bad here now but after Brady and Stapleton left to when Graham took over wasnât great either.
We were often mid table, with the FA Cup final win against Man U as the only success.

Just went through Highbury stadium so thought Iâd take a couple pics. The outside still retains its character itâs just fucking beautiful.

I love how its still there.
No other clubs are as lucky as us.
I loved seeing Highbury for the first time in 2019 when I was in London. As when I have been in London in other times I never got a chance to see it. Its a majestic place still
