Yeah he did. My brother had one I think. It was navy with a red trim and was quite tasteful from memory. He also had a proper amazing one that was canary yellow with a black broken glass effect up the arms. I had the blue away kit with the lightning bolt and had Adams 6 pressed on.

I still have that one. It's mega old and tatty but sometimes I steel wheel it out for five-a-side.

Someone wore this last week at five a side.

In those days you could get the Nike numbers and letters from the Finsbury Park shop.

I think you still can.

EDIT: Oh I see what you mean.

I thought all the numbers were the same for everyone now? Like official Premiership ones.

Yep. Teams only wear their "own" numbers now in other competitions (Europe, etc) now.

The lightning shirt was my first Arsenal shirt :wub:

Think it was my first away one too. Do love that yellow triangle/vomit one above as well, though it always tends to be the proper ('70s) retro ones I'm tempted by when in the club shop now, certainly in terms of away shirts.

Which reminds me - I actually rather like our current away strip, but it looks pretty hideous on some of the more "rotund" supporters. The join/line across the middle crossed with a beer gut just looks decidedly odd from some/most angles.

Really?! That shirt was worth a small fortune (70 notes in good nick) a couple of years ago when adidas starting re-running that print in some retro line they were doing. Lovely kit. Although not as nice as nice as the lightning one.

Great piece of analysis here on Arteta.

http://desigunner.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/arteta-v-wilshere-are-the-stats-really-lying-other-comparisons/

I think he's settled in well, considering the situation we were in at the end of the transfer window and has started to really shine in recent weeks.

I think Arteta's been excellent - come into a side in 'crisis' at the last minute - steadied the midfield in the absence of a number of senior players and quietly gone about his work. I've always rated him very highly, and I'm not just saying that:

I've seen Arteta mentioned a few times. I'd much rather him than Arshavin. He's a fantastic footballer, hugely underrated and I'm amazed Everton have managed to hang on to him for so long. He'd fit into Arsenals style of play perfectly too. Arteta must be about the best player never to receive an international call up, testament to how strong Spain are in midfield.

It would have made a lot more sense to buy him before Fabregas went - they'd definitely fit into the same team - but that aside it was always obvious how he was going to do. Exactly the same for Mertersacker - more or less every prediction (good and bad) about him has been right.

It is quite nice buying established players where you know what you're getting. Feels a bit weird.

I find it hard to get excited about him. Everything I read about the transfer that brought him here suggests he's just not going to settle here, we'll have him for a couple of seasons at best, then he'll be gone in some Adebayor-esque shitstorm.

If he ever gets a work permit.

Hopefully if he is playing for Costa Rica that could speed this up. Is it still something like 70% or 75% of internationals of the last two years or something?

With regards to him being a greedy, disruptive shit, well, welcome to Football in 2011.

But easier when you're coming from a higher ranked nation. Or something.

It's going to be a while at best.

I’ve got 5 copies of the newly released ’100 goals RVP’ DVD to give away.

All you have to do to enter is answer the following simple question: Who fell over to allow to Robin to score Arsenal’s 4th goal against Chelsea last month?

Was it a) John Terry

Answers to competition@arseblog.com by midnight tonight

Any news on Ryo?

http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/team-news-gibbs-jenkinson-diaby-chamakh

on Ryo...

He has an ankle sprain and will be out four to six weeks.

In other news...

on Kieran Gibbs...

He has a hernia and had surgery on Thursday. He looks like he will be out for between four and five weeks.

on Carl Jenkinson...

Carl has a stress fracture in his back. That's just about rest now. We discovered that because he had a pain in his back. First you monitor it, then play a little bit and then you check again because you are cautious.

We found a small stress fracture that we noticed at an early stage. If he continued to play it could have got worse and then he could be out for a long time. So at the moment the specialist has decided to rest him.

Jenkinson is a real blow. Kid's been on fire yo. Plus that means Djourou right back? Mmmmm....
