Discussion of Arsenal as opposition to Everton FC, including Everton vs Arsenal match threads, previews, reactions, refereeing debate and analysis from the Grand Old Team community.
I think these two clubs (well at least one of them used to anyway!) share a lot of similarities. Both have or had iconic former stadiums in Goodison and Highbury. There's the Alan Ball and Joe Mercer connection as well. At their best these two clubs are renowned for playing attractive and...
Arsenal.
The Arsenal.
I hate playing these, and I really went off Mikel Arteta. He’s roughly my age but someone must have a painting of him in their loft.
I see the progress being made under Frank Lampard and it reminds me of the early Moyes days but with him actually being able to attract a...
Sorry to create a thread for this but trying to coordinate a couple of tickets to be brought down. Postal strike and courier no shows causing an issue. Would anyone be coming sown and mind bringing a pair of rickets with them. Be reimbursed with beer!
Christmas is coming. A huge game under the goodison lights. Everyone is absolutely buzzing for the game ....... right..
So back to reality. We are in turmoil . No win since late September. Humiliated in the Derby. A toxic Goodison. Another manager on the brink . And many fans as...
This is a debate I often see with the English football fans. But it's something me and my friends have debated and we never find a definitive answer. Out of Chelsea and Arsenal, who is the bigger club? Both clubs have immense history and achievements, Arsenal more so domestically and Chelsea...
Arsenal V Everton this Friday, how exciting, only three more sleeps until we get to see the mighty EFC playing again, versus one of the breakaway league rats too. With big six Arsenals aspirations to climb as high as 8th, at the expense of founding member of the football league club Everton a...

We have finally beaten Liverpool away which was brilliant, but now we must do the same against Chelsea and Arsenal. I think I’m right in saying we haven’t beaten Chelsea away in the league since 1994 and Arsenal away in the league since 1996, that’s record is appalling. We really need to sort...

Did a quick scan of the forum's first 4 pages to see if this has already been posted. Doesn't seem to have been but apologies if so.
A topic done to death but:
What a performance. What a team Martinez put together.
Team:
Howard
Coleman
Stones

A long rest till our next game, a little break for the players then slap bang right into the mix, with a run of games that sees us take in all the old money top 6, up first its Mikels boys and Arsenal.
A tough place for us to visit over the years, something I am likely to say for the next few...
Carlo has hinted Andre, if he's up for it, will start on Sunday.
If that's the case, and I think it's a given we will play a 4-4-2, who would you partner with him?
Follow it up with why in a comment bleuz.
So near, yet so far away.
Another home game for Heartbreak FC, against possibly Mikel Artetas Arsenal! A poor season so far for the Londons.
Hopefully FF starts looking like a training ground and not an A&E and we get some injured players back.
