re: Arsenal 2013/2014 Season Long Thread

Gotta say, I can't wait for Saturday! These international breaks just seem to drag on forever. However, in our case, this one seems to have come at a great time as we're getting closer to returning to full strength as a squad.

Anyway, not to change the subject too much, but I recently decided I needed to start an Arsenal collection. I've been collecting LSU memorabilia for a number of years now and have built a pretty sizeable and historic collection in many respects.

I figure I should add to it with some memorabilia of my second love, The Arsenal!

Anyway, I've decided to start small and build up from there, so I've started collecting programs of some historic games in the club's history. Below is a photo of my first purchases.

Pictured from left to right:
1. Program from away game at Tottenham on May 3, 1971, that clinched the First Division league title with a 1-0 win at White Hart Lane.
2. Program from the 1971 FA Cup Final on May 8, 1971, where Arsenal defeated Liverpool 2-0 to complete its first league/FA Cup double.
3. Program from the 1979 FA Cup Final where Arsenal defeated Manchester United by a 3-2 score.
4. Program from the season finale at Liverpool on May 26, 1989, where Michael Thomas scored his famous goal in the 1 minute of extra time to give Arsenal a 2-0 win at Anfield. Arsenal needed to beat Liverpool by two goals that day to win the league title.
5. Program from away game at Tottenham on April 25, 2004, where The Invincibles clinched their Premier League title with a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane.

Can't wait to add some more!
